There is a term called, “Metabolic Syndrome.” Almost every contestant on, “The Biggest Loser” has this syndrome.
Health vs. Weight
Today, being overweight is not the sum total of the problem with health. There are medical disorders that are developing in massive numbers throughout the developed countries.
The most prevalent is a syndrome called, “Metabolic Syndrome”. It is also called "Syndrome X".
Risks
It is a confluence of medical disorders that are present at the same time. Together they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.1 These result in early death and disability. This is how Americans are dying today.
It used to be that most deaths were a result of infections and accidents. Now it is from the metabolic syndrome.
This section is for this syndrome. I am finding that people who cannot lose weight no longer only have excess fat as a problem. They have medical disorders. There is PCOS, diabetes, insulin resistance, erectile dysfunction, high LDL (bad cholesterol), heart disease, lipodystrophy (abnormal absence of fat in one area of the body), etc. are some of them.
Beyond Weight Loss
It is no longer a matter of weight loss today. It has gone beyond weight. For the nation to get healthy and fit again, health and vitality need to be restored. The metabolic syndrome is the most important syndrome that needs to be addressed.
