WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT METABOLIC SYNDROME?
I wanted to give some information about the ‘metabolic syndrome’ that we have heard frequently lately…
Why?
Because it affects our health and accordingly our standard of living gradually by triggering each other. When we realize it, we have already entered a vicious circle. Metabolic syndrome mostly affects people who are sedentary as a result of modern life, sitting at a desk, without a system of nutrition and sleep, and who work under tension. Its incidence increases with advancing age and weight gain.
As a matter of fact, the disease itself is hidden in the names given to it! It has also been given various names such as Civilization Syndrome, Deadly Four, Beer Belly, Cardio-metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance Syndrome.
What diseases does the metabolic syndrome consist of?
1. Insulin resistance
2. Diabetes (Diabetes Mellitus)
3. Hypertension
4. Dyslipidemia (Disorder of blood lipids)
5. Obesity (Weight gain)
6. Cardiovascular disease
7. Fatty liver
8. Polycystic ovary syndrome
9. Coagulation disorder

Guess it’s time to take the tape measure and look around our waist.
Why?
Because we are on the scale to find out whether we have gained weight or not. However, the most important thing is in which area your weight is accumulated. In those with metabolic syndrome, fat accumulation is especially concentrated around the waist and abdomen. Body form is similar to apple. This type of lubrication, which is detected by waist circumference measurement, greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
When some of my patients come to me, besides their fat measurements, I definitely measure them with a tape measure, which has even become a joke, in case we came to a tailor.:)Dr.Güleryüz
Individuals with thin waists and whose lubrication is mostly gathered below the waist and hips On the other hand, it is pear type. Although our patients are uncomfortable with this type of fat due to aesthetic problems, it is the apple type body state that puts our health at risk and is shown as visceral obesity (abdominal obesity). For your information

Get your life moving!
But we can be protected from Metabolic Syndrome by adopting a healthy lifestyle!
Changing the diet and physical training are indispensable. Every day or at least four days a week, at least 30-45 minutes of walking. And of course we need to get rid of our excess weight.. Believe me, it is not that difficult..
If we cannot achieve this in this way, and especially if the risk of cardiovascular disease is high, drug treatment may be required. It may be necessary to supplement with lipid lowerers, antihypertensives and antidiabetics, according to the recommendation of your specialist.
