Metabolic Syndrome greatly increases the likelihood of
developing coronary artery disease (CAD). This latter disorder
occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle
become hardened and narrowed. The deterioration is a process
called atherosclerosis and is caused by a build-up of plaque on
the inner walls or lining of the arteries. Plaque, which
consists of a substance containing cholesterol, calcium,
clotting proteins and other compounds, reduces blood flow to the
heart and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease
and the leading cause of death in the United States in both men
and women.
When blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart are reduced or
cut off, you can develop:
Angina – a chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart
is not getting enough blood.
Heart attack – this happens when a blood clot suddenly cuts off
most or all blood supply to part of the heart. Cells in the
heart muscle that do not receive enough oxygen-carrying blood
begin to die. This can cause permanent damage to the heart
muscle.
Over time, coronary artery disease can weaken your heart muscle
and contribute to:
Heart Failure – this occurs when the heart is not able to pump
blood to the rest of the body effectively. Heart failure does
not mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop
working. But it does mean that your heart is failing to pump
blood the way that it should.
Arrhythmia – changes in the normal rhythm of the heartbeats,
some of which can be quite serious.
An underlying cause of coronary artery disease, Metabolic
Syndrome is characterized by a group of risk factors present in
one person. They include:
Abdominal obesity – excessive fat tissue in and around the
abdomen
Atherogenic dyslipidemia – blood fat disorders like high
triglycerides, low HDL "good" cholesterol and high LDL "bad"
cholesterol which foster plaque build up in artery walls
Elevated blood pressure
Insulin Resistance – an underlying factor in obesity caused by
the body's inability to properly use blood sugar and insulin
Prothrombotic state – the presence of high fibrinogen or
plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 in the blood stream
Proinflammatory state – the presence of elevated C-reactive
protein in the blood
Metabolic Syndrome sufferers are at increased risk of
Cardiovascular Disease as well as coronary artery disease and
other disorders related to plaque build up like stroke and
peripheral vascular disease, as well as Pre- and Type 2
Diabetes. More than 50 million Americans are estimated to have
Metabolic Syndrome.
Obesity caused by the glucose and insulin imbalance called
Insulin Resistance is a key risk factor for Metabolic Syndrome.
The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute advise that Metabolic Syndrome sufferers can be
identified by having three or more of these components:
Elevated waist circumference:
Men – Equal to or greater than 40 inches (102 cm)
Women – Equal to or greater than 35 inches (88 cm)
Elevated triglycerides:
Equal to or greater than 150 mg/dL
Reduced HDL ("good") cholesterol:
Men – Less than 40 mg/dL
Women – Less than 50 mg/dL
Elevated blood pressure:
Equal to or greater than 130/85 mm Hg
Elevated fasting glucose:
At least 110 mg/dL
The primary goal of someone suffering from Metabolic Syndrome is
to reduce the risk for coronary artery disease as well as
Cardiovascular Disease together with Pre-Diabetes. The latter is
a reversible condition which, if neglected, can lead to
irreversible Type 2 Diabetes and may require daily injections of
insulin for the rest of your life. Lifestyle changes are
crucial to reduce LDL cholesterol, hypertension (high blood
pressure) and glucose and insulin levels.
There is no one pill to counter Metabolic Syndrome. A complete
system is required to reverse this condition – one that includes
nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease
specific), a realistic exercise program combined with
nutritional guidance and a support network that will help you
change unhealthy lifestyle choices. Together, these factors can
result in:
Weight loss to achieve a desirable objective (a BMI, or Body Mass
Index, of less than 25 kg/m2)
Increased physical activity, with a goal of at least 30
minutes of moderate-intensity activity on 5 or more days per
week
Healthy eating habits that include reduced intake of saturated
fat, trans fat and cholesterol

is scientifically-designed to reverse Insulin Resistance and its
related risk of coronary artery disease. The system
includes a formulation called RejuvenX that can improve circulation
with antioxidant ingredients like CoQ10 and bilberry extract.
"I have been on the Insulite
System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver
functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I
was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the
AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in
years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has
changed my life.
I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program.
Your product is fantastic. I have
cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing
weight again after being
"stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4
lbs since
starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is
well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is
better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control
between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather
than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months
supply. Thank you!"

"Researchers agree that insulin
resistance is central to the metabolic syndrome. When target
cells are unresponsive to insulin, the pancreas responds by
pouring even more insulin into the bloodstream, leading to high
levels of the hormone in the blood, a condition called
compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The high level of insulin in the
blood forces glucose into cells but also starts the events
leading to arterial damage and eventually a heart attack. Under
these conditions, a person may not manifest either diabetes or
heart disease but could well be on the way to either or both."
"I wanted to let you know how much I
appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health.
It's hard to express in
words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily
provided for me.
I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I
can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank
you again!"

"Simply losing 5-7% of your body fat (typically 10-15 pounds) and increasing your physical activity by taking a brisk walk 4-5 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Type
II Diabetes by almost 60%."
"I started your product and found
it really boosts my system,
helping me get off ground zero, and stop the spiral downwards.
It gave me the
energy to start exercising and prepare healthy meals.
You are all very supportive, even though I am on the other side
of the world
(Australia). I am very glad that I am on your product, your
weekly messages
are also very encouraging, when I am finding things a bit
harder. Thank you for everything."
"A non-pharmacologic treatment for these
patients is needed, since drugs prescribed to lower blood
pressure have been shown to actually worsen carbohydrate and
lipid metabolism in Syndrome X patients, negating the beneficial
effects of those drugs."
"I cannot believe the difference
the Insulite System has made in how I feel. My appetite has
changed tremendously. I do not crave carbs and sugar and my
appetite is somewhat diminished."

"...approximately 90% of
overweight Hispanic children with a family history for type 2 diabetes have at least one
feature of the metabolic syndrome and 30% possess the metabolic syndrome.
Our results support the view that improving insulin resistance may be crucial in the prevention
of both type 2 diabetes and premature cardiovascular disease in this at-risk subpopulation
of Hispanic youth."
