In my dietetic office I deal with particular interest, not only with those who are characterized by severe obesity, but also with those who have slightly increased body weight and those who have normal body weight, but have cardiovascular risk factors in their history, which are included in the diagnostic characteristics of Metabolic Syndrome.

There are 5 of these characteristics in total and only 3 are sufficient to say that someone has Metabolic Syndrome:

1. Waist circumference over 80 cm for women and 94 cm for men

2. Triglycerides over 150 mg/dL or being on medication for triglycerides.

3. Good HDL cholesterol below 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women, or be on medication for cholesterol lowering.

4. Fasting blood sugar above 100 mg/dL or be on medication for diabetes.

5. Blood pressure above 130/80 mm Hg or be on medication for hypertension

OF THESE 5 METABOLIC SYNDROME DIAGNOSTICS, the first one, namely increased waist circumference, is the only one that if reduced, all 4 other risk factors improve.

In my office, I give useful and practical nutritional advice for initial treatment and for maintaining good results. I have even removed the term “diet” because it somewhat refers to the concept of deprivation and punishment .

I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TAKE CARE OF YOU
