Metabolic Syndrome, Is Really An Inflamed Body !

Metabolic syndrome, also known as Syndrome X, Insulin Resistance Syndrome, or Dysmetabolic Syndrome, is a combination of conditions that puts a person at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke and diseases that are related to unhealthy fat accumulation in the artery walls. It also puts the body at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 

The major reasons behind metabolic syndrome include being overweight, obesity and inactivity for a long period of time. The syndrome is also linked to a condition called insulin resistance that is when the body resists hormone insulin and this results in increased blood sugar levels.  

The hormone insulin helps the body in controlling the amount of sugar (in the form of glucose) that’s in the blood. With a condition like insulin resistance, the body’s cells fail to respond normally to hormone insulin. Resulting in glucose not entering the cells as easily as it should in a healthy body. The glucose that fails to enter the cells accumulates in the blood and stays unattended. This accumulated and unattended glucose deposits can lead to type 2 diabetes.
