Goode asked:


It has now become established that problems like obesity, cardiovascular problems, diabetes and hypertension are closely associated to one another. This was first proposed by Gerald Reaven in the year 1988 when he presented the Banting lecture. This interlinking was collectively termed as Syndrome X during that time and is now recognized as Metabolic Syndrome.

One causative factor for this syndrome has been identified as insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone produced by the body to keep the glucose level in the blood in check. Insulin resistance alters the glucose levels as it does not get moved into the cells of the body thereby causing high levels in the blood. Glucose is found in the body due to the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller sugars.

Carbohydrates form a part of everyone’s diet. Carbohydrates are made of polysaccharides or larger sugars that need to be broken down into smaller sugars or monosaccharides to get absorbed into the body. Polysaccharides, if they are not broken down cannot be taken up by the body.

Carbohydrates are broken down partly during the digestion process. Carbohydrate metabolism encompasses every process that is helpful in the reduction of carbohydrates and also includes the development and exchange of carbohydrates in an organism.

Cells in the body utilize the monosaccharides formed by breakdown of carbohydrates. Around 4 calories are got by the consumption of a gram of carbohydrate. The energy got from the metabolism of carbohydrates is stored in the energy units of the body called adenosine tri phosphate (ATP).

Carbohydrates are important for every living organism as an energy resource as this food is easier to utilize and breakdown when compared to fats or proteins.

Sedentary life styles and excessive carbohydrate intake in people with lower rates of metabolism reduces the rate at which carbohydrates are utilized as energy. Glucose that is not utilized by the body gets converted into fats once the glycogen levels in the body get saturated. If there is excess of carbohydrates in the diet, there is a higher chance of it getting stored up as fat. This results in obesity and is related to the disruption of carbohydrate metabolism in the body.

Excess carbohydrates in the diet have an impact on the organ systems too over a period of time. One such effect is the onset of diabetes mellitus that can be life threatening, if uncontrolled.

Diabetes mellitus has an impact on many other organ systems in the body and can lead to complications like cardiovascular problems, nervous system disorders, eye problems that can result in blindness and many skin disorders. This makes it very vital to regulate the intake of carbohydrates in the diet to keep the carbohydrate metabolism intact and to utilize all the carbohydrates that are consumed in the diet. This keeps the risk of developing disorders of metabolism like cardiovascular problems, diabetes, hypertension and obesity at a minimum.

Along with regulating the diet, everyone should also develop a regular exercise program to improve and maintain a healthy rate of metabolism to preserve good health and to have the energy and vigor to go through their day-to-day activities.

Metabolic syndrome is a very dangerous situation. It is a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure and high blood levels of glucose. Because of that disorder heap, metabolic syndrome raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

The likelihood that adolescents will develop metabolic syndrome rises in cases of exposure to tobacco smoke, either through active or passive smoke.

This association is even stronger among teens who are overweight or at risk of being overweight.

According to statistics, the metabolic syndrome primarily strikes those teens who are overweight or at-risk for overweight, a group that has tripled during the last two decades. This makes a growing segment of the youth population uniquely vulnerable to the development of this syndrome and to subsequent premature cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.

Causes

The common causes and risk factor’s of Metabolic syndrome include the following:

The exact cause of metabolic syndrome is not known.

Eating a diet that has too many calories and too much saturated fat, and not getting enough physical activity.

Smoking.

Have a history of type 2 diabetes are at risk for metabolic syndrome X.

A diagnosis of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or polycystic ovary syndrome- a similar type of metabolic problem that affects a woman’s hormones and reproductive system- also increases the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Symptoms of Metabolic syndrome

Some sign and symptoms related to metabolic syndrome are as follows:

High blood pressure.

Elevated uric acid levels.

Diagnosing Metabolic Syndrome

While academics attending the ADA’s 66th Scientific Sessions debate and question the importance of clustering certain risk factors under a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, it’s unarguable value lies in its ability to single out those individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Translated into practical terms, this means that a person diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome has three times the normal risk of developing cardiovascular disease, as well as three times the normal risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Add to this the recent reliable evidence that lifestyle interventions that result in weight loss can prevent or at least delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, and the importance of diagnosing metabolic syndrome becomes obvious. And there is a more subtle but no less significant reason for diagnosing metabolic syndrome – the fact that insulin resistance is the underlying cause. This is because insulin resistance, by its very nature, makes weight loss on conventional diets almost impossible. Anyone who tries to lose weight on a low fat / high carbohydrate diet in order to significantly increase their life expectancy, is more or less doomed to failure if they have insulin resistance.

Symptoms which detect hypothyroidism are fatigue, exhaustion, tiredness, weight gain, dry or coarse hair, hair loss, muscle cramps and frequent muscle aches, constipation, depression, irritability, lapse of memory, sensitivity towards cold, puffy face, abnormal menstrual cycles and decreased libido. Many of these symptoms go unnoticed but as you get older these become a real threat.

Natural Treatments

Kanchanara – Bauhinia veriegata (purple mountain ebony) is mainly useful for functioning of thyroid. Other herbs like jatamansi, brahmi guggulu, shilajita, gokshura, punarnava are some of the other useful herbs.

You can try this home remedy which may help your problem. Make a fine paste of vegetable jalakumbhi (Pistia Straticies) to be applied over your neck to reduce the swelling.

Coconut oil has fatty acid chains which may help to improve your metabolism.

Yoga

You can try yoga which has been effective even before the existence of medical science. Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) can be a very suitable asana to help your thyroid gland. The pressure applied on the gland provides the necessary boost to the thyroid gland. Once you have done sarvangasana you should perform matsyasana, also beneficial to improve your thyroid gland.

These asanas should not be practiced if you are suffering from severe thyroitoxicosis or enlarged goiter. You can include Surya Namskara, Pavamuktasana to help you with this problem. One of the best ways to deal with thyroid problems is to practice Ujjayi Pranayama.

Are you sluggish and low on energy? Do you feel like you work and work toward your weight loss goal and never seem to make any dramatic improvement?

You could be suffering from a slow metabolism. Even though you may have a slow metabolism, it does not have to destroy your weight loss efforts. You can dramatically improve your metabolism, and boost your energy levels without taking supplements.

Your metabolism simply refers to the conversion of food to usable energy by the body. It is the biological process, by which energy is extracted from food, and the net result is how fast or slowly the body burns those calories.

A few steps you can take to improve your metabolism naturally are:

Drink Water Water is great to drink and you should be drinking a minimum of 8 to 10, glasses daily, of course, more is better. It will help increase your metabolism and flush out sodium, toxins, and fat. Drinking water before meals will fill your stomach so you feel full and prevent overeating. Avoid excess colas, coffee, teas, and sugary juices. Caffeine will dehydrate you, and the sugar will do more damage than good in the long-run.

Eat Every Three Hours Eat a small balanced meal every three hours, including snacks. Meals and snacks should be balanced, meaning they should contain a complete protein, carbohydrates, as well as natural fat. Failure to eat consistently can lead to a slower metabolism and fat storage. Also, skipping meals slows down your metabolism. To ignite fat loss you need to be consuming the right foods in a balanced manner throughout the day.

Don’t Skip Breakfast Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gets your metabolism running in high gear. You wouldn’t drive your car to work on an empty tank, and you shouldn’t start your day without adequate nourishment. Your first meal sets your metabolism for the day and keeps it going, as long as you eat every three hours. If you get up early and eat a late breakfast, you miss out on several hours of burning calories.

Don’t Fear Fat Fat has developed a bad reputation. Many people think fat makes you fat. This is false. The type of fat and how much fat you eat impacts your body fat composition. Fat is needed by the body. Those who follow a very low-fat diet have a harder time ridding their body of fat. Choose natural healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, various nuts, flax, and natural peanut butter to receive your necessary fats.

Omit Trans Fat Trans fat is the bad fat, the cause of weight gain, low energy, depression, cancer, and heart disease. You will never get the body you desire by eating “healthy” fast food, frozen dinners, and other processed choices. If it’s man-made, it’s not the best choice, and will halt fat loss endeavors. Eat the foods Mother Nature has provided to meet your fat loss goals.

Be Active Daily Stay active at least six days a week. Take the stairs when possible or park further out to get that little bit of extra movement to keep the heart and lungs working optimally. The more movement you get daily, the better you will feel overall.

Do Cardiovascular Exercise Cardio exercise is necessary for heart and lung health. It also burns calories. Doing cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach can tap into fat stores, and keep your body burning calories at a high rate for about an hour after cardio is finished. If you fail to eat adequately daily, first morning cardio on an empty stomach can work against you. Doing morning cardio on very low calorie diet can burn muscle. Another good time to incorporate cardio is in the evening after your last meal. This allows you to burn calories so you are not sleeping on them. You do not have to implement a morning and evening session, choose one or the other or cycle between the two to prevent staleness and boredom.

HIIT It Blend some High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) into your cardiovascular program from time to time to give your body and metabolism a good shock. The body is programmed for adaptation. Therefore, doing the same cardio format day in and day out can become stale really fast. Take one or two days a week and implement some HIIT to give the body an added shock.

HIIT is basically alternating low intensity and moderate to high intensity cardio training. For example, a 20 minute HIIT session would look similar to this:

Minute 1 and 2 Low Intensity (Walking)

Minute 3 and 4 High Intensity (Light jogging or running)

Minute 5 and 6 Low Intensity

Minute 7 and 8 High Intensity

and so on…

Weight Train Resistance training builds muscle, which is metabolically active tissue. The more muscle you acquire, the faster your metabolism will be. Adding more lean muscle tissue to your body will put curves in the right places and allow you to eat more calories a day.

Listen to Your Body Killing yourself with workouts is just as dangerous as not working out at all. Listen to your body and get proper rest. Don’t train if you are ill, still sore from the previous workout, or just simply too tired. Training in such a state can cause more problems than it solves.

If any of the above fails to prove results in 4 to 6 weeks, there could be an underlying problem, such as a food allergy, sluggish thyroid, hormonal imbalance, toxins, parasites, etc. If so, I recommend searching for a natural healer in your area to determine the cause. and work from there. For the most part, proper diet, detoxifying, and herbs can correct any ailments.

Are you running on the right fuel? That depends on whether you are a Ferrari or a Mack Truck?

Imagine you’re the owner of a beautiful, big, brand new Mack Truck, and you pull into the most exclusive petrol station that has the highest quality gasoline from the world’s leading refinery. Now this gasoline is as good as it gets, and you’re driving the best truck on 18 wheels. The man at the station decides to put the best quality gasoline in that big diesel engine. Oops! That Mack Truck had better have plenty of sleeping area because you’re not going anywhere fast. Now it’s not the fuel’s or the truck’s fault, it was simply the wrong fuel.

This analogy between individuality and appropriate fuel source is the principle behind Metabolic Typing. Below we examine:

• What Metabolic Typing is

• The three basic Metabolic Types

• The history behind Metabolic Typing

• How you can find out which Metabolic Type you are?

What is Metabolic Typing?

The following excerpt is drawn directly from The Metabolic Typing Diet by Wolcott & Fahey. (1)

Metabolic typing is based on the fact that over thousands of years of evolutionary history, people in different parts of the world developed very distinct nutritional needs (biochemical individuality), in response to a whole range of variables, including climate and geography and whatever plant and animal life their environments had to offer.

As a result, people today have widely varying nutrient requirements, especially with regard to macronutrients – the proteins, carbohydrates and fats that are the fundamental dietary “building blocks”, most essential to sustaining life.

We all need a full spectrum of nutrients. But, different people have genetically programmed requirements for different amounts of various nutrients.

It is these differing genetically based requirements that explain why a certain nutrient can cause one person to feel good, have no effect on another, and cause a third person to feel worse. Basically unless you acquire all the nutrients for which you have been genetically programmed, your cells’ ability to perform their functions will be impaired.

Conversely when you eat according to your own unique hereditary requirements, as opposed to following some universal dos and don’ts or randomly prescribed dietary advice, it’s entirely possible that you can…

• Achieve and maintain your ideal weight

• Strengthen your immune system

• Optimize physical energy and mental clarity

• Enhance athletic performance and endurance

• Overcome mood swings and depression

• Prevent and reverse degenerative disease

There’s no single greater influence on your health than the food you eat several times a day, every single day of your life. One must first identify the specific raw materials that will support the body’s unique biochemical requirements, and then supply them in the right combinations. Then, simply step aside and let your body repair, rebuild, and regulate itself.

The three basic Metabolic Types

1. Protein types (fast oxidisers) – some characteristics of people who are a protein type are: strong appetites (live to eat), cravings for salty and fatty foods, failure with low calorie diets, as well as fatigue, anxiety or nervousness. They burn or oxidise carbohydrates quickly and must eat more protein and fat to slow this process. Protein types also have a higher requirement for purines, which is a type of amino acid found in dark meats, like red meat, chicken legs and anchovies.

An average ratio would be 35% carbohydrates, 45% protein, and 20% fats and oils.

2. Carb types (slow oxidisers) – some characteristics of the carb types are: weak appetite, high tolerance for sweets, type-A personalities, variable energy, and caffeine dependency. They don’t burn fats and proteins as efficiently and therefore require a higher amount of carbohydrates (remember though not all carbohydrates are the same so it doesn’t mean they can eat all the pasta they want).

Carb types often do well on meals consisting of around 70% carbohydrates and 30% light meats and lower fat foods.

3. Mixed types – as the name suggests they sit somewhere in the middle.

Some characteristics of the mixed type are: variable appetite, cravings for sweets and carbs, weight control problems, fatigue, anxiety, and nervousness. (6)

Carb type Mixed type Protein type

The history behind Metabolic Typing

In 95-55 BC Lucritius said: “What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others.”

Since the beginning of time different cultures have had to adapt to the surroundings they lived in, including the available food within their region and as a result of this, biochemical differences arose. In his ground breaking book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Dr. Weston A. Price documented the vast differences of diet among 16 indigenous cultures. One example was between the Eskimos who eat a diet predominately of fat and protein, while the Quetchus Indians of South America ate mainly plant based foods and only a small amount of meat. Both peoples were equally healthy and had excellent physiques on a vastly different diet, which if swapped might not have the same result. (5)

Now in the Far East Metabolic typing has existed for thousands of years. For example India Ayurvedic Medicine (5000 years old) recognises three body types – pitta, vatta and kapha – each requiring their own specific dietary needs.

Chinese medicine also teaches different constitutions and therefore recommends different dietary needs (earth, wood, water, metal and fire).

In the west Metabolic Typing has been steadily improved upon with time through contributions from various progressively-minded researchers with the underlying notion of ‘health being dependent on one’s ability to obtain all the nutrients for which one has a genetic requirement’. (4)

Several of the key figures include:

Dr. Roger Williams, the noted biochemist and author of the classic 1956 book ‘Biochemical Individuality’ states that all people are genetically predisposed to specific nutritional needs, which, if not met, may lead to chronic health problems.

This he termed a person’s biochemical individuality. He believed that all such chronic problems, even the most serious ones, are caused by such ‘cellular malnutrition”. (2)

From Williams and several other key figures came the first form of Metabolic Typing by Dr. William Kelley in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Dr. George Watson, a clinical psychologist and scientist, also examined the role of nutrition on the body and particularly the mind in his fascinating book ‘Nutrition and Your Mind’. He states the case that mental and emotional disorders are the result of the physical malfunctioning of the body’s metabolism. Dr. Watson had noticed that some people were fast oxidisers, who burned foods and nutrients quickly, while others were slow oxidisers who burned foods and nutrients slowly.

By prescribing specific foods and nutrients to balance oxidative imbalances in patients he discovered that many of their clinical problems were resolved. (3)

Today one of the leading authority’s on Metabolic Typing is William Wolcott (author of The Metabolic Typing Diet), who further refined the work of his predecessor’s Kelley and Watson and through the clinical findings of thousands of patients over a period of 30 years.

How you can find out your Metabolic Type?

Beginning with the low cost alternatives:

1. On mercola.com is a very basic test available for free (10 questions). Mercola.com is the largest online health newsletter and amazing resource for holistic health.

2. This months book review Paul Chek’s ‘Eat, move and be healthy’ also uses a basic Metabolic Test (14 questions).

3. The Metabolic Typing Diet (which I thoroughly recommend) by William Wolcott has a 65 question test.

However through my experience with these tests most people begin around the mixed type as their level of awareness is generally low and influenced by outside factors regarding what is good for them. If you are to use them it is imperative that you follow the fine tuning guides accompanying or they will remain simply guesses and you may miss out on the benefits that Metabolic Typing has to offer.

4. The most thorough initial way is through a professional Metabolic Typing Advisor who uses a comprehensive online questionnaire that examines physical and psychological traits and reactions to food. For further information go to www.metabolictyping.com.

Here is my challenge to you:

1. Complete one of the tests to find out your Metabolic Type

2. Begin tuning into your body’s feedback mechanisms

Remember this is the most essential aspect of metabolic typing – creating awareness or, simply stated, “listening to your body” in regards to how certain foods make you feel. So are you a Mack Truck, Ferrari or something in between?
