| Doctors have known for years that each of these health problems can increase the risk of other diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. Because these problems are related and tend to occur in clusters, they form a syndrome. Syndrome X also generates high levels of cell-damaging free radicals and causes premature aging, setting the stage for catastrophic health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases. Syndrome X is primarily a nutritional disease caused by eating the wrong foods. Syndrome X occurs when insulin resistance is combined with high levels of blood fats (cholesterol and triglyceride), too much body fat, and high blood pressure. If your condition is serious, your doctor may need prescribe an aggressive course of medication aimed at reducing the impact of any life-threatening symptoms. However, most individuals who commit to these changes do notice some weight-loss and a large increase in vitality in a much shorter period, often just a few weeks. |
