Metabolic syndrome

Development of medicine pushed aside causes of death from infectious diseases. So, on the first place there were diseases, anyway, connected with disbolism. As the main reasons of lethal outcomes serve pathological changes of coagulant system of blood. The formed blood clots cause obstruction of vessels and as a result, development of heart attacks: myocardium, kidneys, brain (strokes). The beginning of process is preceded by disturbance of processing of food, that is, a metabolic syndrome which is announced by a pandemic of the 21st century now. It is connected with a slow-moving way of life and errors in food. Adjournment of fatty stocks in an organism leads to disturbance of regulation of metabolism which will be subdivided into two components:

• Catabolism – processes of an expenditure of the arrived energy by the proteolysis, fats and carbohydrates on polypeptide chains;
• Anabolism – synthesis from the received fragments of new carbohydrates which turn into the proteins and fats going for construction of body tissues.

The imbalance between these processes leads to redistribution of energy towards the accumulation happening in a fat depo. So the metabolic syndrome which symptoms are shown by vascular disorders in all bodies develops. But first of all, vessels of average diameter suffer: arteries and veins.

Reasons and factors of development of a metabolic syndrome

Set of the symptoms leading to disbolism has the unique reason – insulin resistance. Its development is promoted by the following factors:

• Genetic;
• Environmental.

The genetic analysis of family trees reveals predisposition to development of insulin resistance through one generation. That is, if the grandmother or at the grandfather had a metabolic syndrome, then the granddaughter or the grandson since the birth are in a risk zone.

At the people living in the conditions close to extreme obesity seldom develops. The organism is adjusted on power consumptions at prime necessity. Fatty stocks are practically not postponed. The similar state is descended, however environmental factors make essential amendments to the put genotype. The person gets to favorable conditions, energy is not spent, but stocks up "for rainy day".

The most widespread version of development of insulin resistance the hypodynamia in combination with the food containing a large amount of carbohydrates is considered. They are easily split, and the saved energy, is used on synthesis of fatty tissue which represents the endocrine organ demanding constant intake of "fuel".

Nevertheless at people with genetic predisposition the metabolic syndrome develops quicker, and its clinical manifestations – it is heavier.

Mechanism of development and symptoms of a metabolic syndrome

The Insulinorezistenost literally means "immunity to insulin". Insulin is the main hormone of exchange processes. The nutrients circulating in blood without participation of insulin cannot get in cells for energy development. There is a paradoxical situation: there is a lot of glucose in blood, but cells suffer an acute shortage of carbohydrates. The condition of insulin resistance some time is compensated by hormone hypersecretion a pancreas. Then the full clinical picture characterizing a metabolic syndrome which symptoms have similarity to a diabetes mellitus of the II type develops. Islets of Langerhans in a pancreas are exhausted, and production of own insulin stops.

The metabolic syndrome has the following signs:

• Central (men's) type of obesity, diagnostic criterion: a waist circle at men no more than 90 cm and 80 cm for women;
• Black acanthosis;
• Arterial hypertension, increase in the upper bounds of arterial pressure to 130 mm of mercury. and more;
• The female infertility connected with chronic anovulation.

Complications of a metabolic syndrome are similar to that at a diabetes mellitus of the II type.

Metabolic syndrome – recommendations

At detection of signs of insulin resistance first of all it is necessary to change a way of life. Lack of an exercise stress on production and in life is compensated by occupations physical culture. It is recommended to begin with daily morning exercises.

To refuse smoking and alcohol. Both substances render irritant action on kanabioidny system that leads to increase in appetite and lack of control of the consumed quantity of products.

Change of a diet prevents further development of a metabolic syndrome, the recommendation on which treatment first of all are directed to weight reduction. Weight loss on as much percent reduces risk of cardiovascular diseases by 10% of initial weight.

Important! It is not necessary to force dumping of body weight. Loss more than 10% of weight in a year leads to increase in load of cardiovascular and endocrine system.

Metabolic syndrome – a diet

In addition to performance of appointments of the doctor, at obesity it is necessary to keep to a diet constantly. Return to a former way of life will cause a disease recurrence therefore it is recommended to change it cardinally.

At a metabolic syndrome the diet provides an exception of the seasonings increasing appetite. Restriction acute and salty also promotes reduction of amount of food and drinks. Nevertheless the refusal of meat is not recommended. It is only necessary to limit their use to once a day.

Important! At a metabolic syndrome of the recommendation of doctors provide measurement of content of glucose of blood, and, if necessary, reception of sugar-lowering drugs.

Restriction or complete elimination from a diet of glucose is reached by reception of sweeteners which contain the small number of calories and do not influence insulin synthesis.

For normalization of activity of digestive tract the products containing a cellulose are recommended: cabbage, bean, dried fruits.

For the purpose of prevention of development of arterial hypertension it is necessary to limit reception of table salt, having replaced it with lemon juice.

When the metabolic syndrome develops, the diet is not limited to a set of dishes, it is important to adjust a diet: to 6 times a day with the last meal in 3 hours prior to a dream. Also character of meal is important. Is it is necessary as it is possible more slowly, slowly. Prompt meal does not promote saturation until walls of the crowded stomach do not stretch. At slow absorption of products, they begin to be processed by enzymes in an oral cavity, and the center of saturation already receives signals from digestive tract receptors.

Prevention of a metabolic syndrome

Obesity is around the world recognized as a disease, but its development depends on people. At tendency to corpulence it is necessary to watch over health, keeping to a diet and a healthy lifestyle.
