FROM the desk of Dr. Dave Woynarowski: (he also carries Xocai products on his website)
The main topic of the recent "updates in anti-aging medicine" was
metabolic syndrome. Now if you have read anything I have written
in the past 3 years you know this is a common topic.
What was sad and almost humorous was the fact that even the
normally progressive anti-aging organizations were just beginning
to recognize the serious and pervasive nature of this illness.
But it did not stop there.
The treatment of the topic, its relationship to
inflammation/insulin/obesity was rudimentary at best. Of course
they did mention fish oil as a main treatment along with weight
reduction and exercise but considering the absolute death sentence
that this constellation of symptoms represents, the 8 (yes, count
'em, eight) lectures on the topic were shockingly short on details
and info.
Then came the exercise part.
Yikes! How sad that was, echoing the cardio-only walk around the
block and pull weeds mentality that is so out of date it's not
funny.
Fortunately the other topics covered were more enlightening but
rest assured of one thing.
I may tell you how great my products are everyday but embedded in
that truth is also the very most cutting edge info. You are
getting it even before the anti-aging community cobbles to it
although in a year or so they will catch up.
So briefly here is my definition of metabolic syndrome:
Central and visceral obesity (fat on your belly and your organs;
women tend to get it a bit lower on the body!) total body
inflammation, insulin resistance, abnormal blood fats,
(triglycerides), all of which make you a much higher risk for heart
attack and stroke and diabetes.
Here is the big problem.
In the middle age range of our country (55 to 65-ish) 4 in 10
people have it already. In 10 years, if things continue the same
and they are predicted to do just exactly that, 6 in 10 people will
have this constellation of serious health issues.
How to fix it:
Eat better, exercise more, sleep enough and lose weight if you are
overweight.
I cannot make it any simpler than that except to tell you, you can
