Be Aware of Metabolic Syndrome!

“Metabolic syndrome” consists of two or more risk factors, such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar and/or fat levels, in addition to visceral obesity (when the girth of the abdominal is over 85cm for men and 90cm for women). If left untreated, arteriosclerosis increases, which can lead to fatal heart disease and/or cerebro-vascular disease. It is a good idea to become more familiar with the causes and effects of metabolic syndrome, and learn how to prevent it.
