Metabolic
Syndrome creates an increased risk of Cardiovascular
Disease,
generating symptoms like hypertension (high blood pressure) that
can lead to a heart attack and stroke. This dangerous condition
is affecting a growing number of people as obesity reaches
epidemic levels in the United States. Obesity and Metabolic
Syndrome, also known as Syndrome X, are linked by Insulin
Resistance. This latter condition is being increasingly
identified as an underlying cause of obesity, which, in turn is
a crucial factor in heart disease prevention because it inflicts
major damage on the cardiovascular system.
"...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."
Insulin Resistance prevents the efficient conversion of food
into energy because of a vastly reduced number of insulin
receptors on the cell wall. It’s been estimated that a typical
healthy person has 20,000 insulin receptor sites per cell, while
the average overweight individual can have as few as 5,000.
If you have a greatly reduced number of insulin receptor sites on
the cells’ surface, your ability to lose weight is severely
compromised.
Insulin acts as “a key in a lock”, allowing glucose to pass
through the cell wall and be converted to energy. If you have
too few receptor sites, glucose bounces off the cell wall
instead of passing through the insulin door. As a result,
glucose floats freely in the blood stream, causing elevated
levels of blood sugar, which are sent to the liver. Once there,
the sugar is converted into fat and carried via the blood stream
throughout the body in a process that can lead to weight gain
and obesity.
Free-floating insulin also has a harmful affect. It can damage
the lining of the arteries and contribute to the development of
atherosclerosis, which is characterized by a dangerous build-up
of plaque on the artery walls.
In
addition, the imbalance of glucose and insulin can lead to a
greater risk of developing Cardiovascular Disease because it
causes increased levels of triglycerides, which are fat-storing
substances carried through the blood stream to the tissues. As
your weight increases, stressors build up on the entire
cardiovascular system. The heart and lungs, for example, have to
work harder to distribute an adequate amount of
freshly-oxygenated blood throughout the body. As well as the
increase in triglycerides, there is also a lowering of “good”
HDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart attack and
stroke.
Increased
insulin and glucose levels in those suffering from Metabolic
Syndrome have also been proven to cause changes in the kidneys’
ability to remove salt as well as increasing the risk of blood
clot formation. All of these are key factors in the development
of Cardiovascular Disease, heart attacks and stroke.
"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."
