Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a person has at least three of these five risk factors:
• Waist size over 35" (women) or 40" (men)
• Triglycerides at 150 mg/dl or higher
• HDL cholesterol under 50 mg/dl (women) or 40 mg/dl (men)
• Blood pressure 130/85 or higher
• Fasting blood sugar of 100 or more
Even one of these can be serious—but together they greatly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. About 35% of adults have metabolic syndrome. Studies have also linked it to reduced brain blood flow and a higher risk of dementia.
Thankfully, lifestyle and nutrition changes can improve—and sometimes reverse—these risks.
Reduce Waist Size
Visceral fat around internal organs contributes to metabolic syndrome. Science Daily highlighted a study showing that low-glycemic diets help control blood sugar and hormones after meals—supporting lasting weight loss. Whole, unprocessed foods digest slowly and support steady energy.
2. Lower Triglycerides
Weight loss and a low-glycemic diet can help. Add FiberWise, which includes seven natural fibers, antioxidants, and probiotics to help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar.
3. Raise HDL Cholesterol
Even modest weight loss helps improve HDL. Exercise—like walking—reduces belly fat and raises HDL levels. Phytomega (with plant sterols and omega-3s) and Coldwater Omega-3 also support healthy cholesterol.
4. Improve Blood Pressure
ProvexCV promotes healthy blood pressure by improving blood vessel function with powerful grape antioxidants—each bottle containing the equivalent of 10,000 grapes.
5. Balance Blood Sugar
GC Control Shakes have been clinically shown to support healthy insulin response, curb hunger, and reduce fatigue—making weight loss easier and more sustainable.
In Summary:
Focus on reducing belly fat, staying active, and eating a natural, low-glycemic diet. For nutritional support, take Vitality 6 +Heart, Phytomega, ProvexCV, FiberWise, Coldwater Omega-3, and GC Control Shakes.
