Metabolic Syndrome - Quiz

Metabolic Syndrome.

 

The International Diabetes Federation has been working on a definition utilizing advanced metabolic measures to more quickly and accurately recognize early signs of insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. The criterion will include: abnormal body fat distribution, atherogenic dyslipidemia, vascular dysregulation, insulin resistance, pro-inflammatory states, prothrombotic state  and hormonal factors (pituitary-adrenal axis).

Take the quiz to test your knowledge!

 

 

 

 

1. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet limits daily sodium intake to:

 
2. Which component of metabolic syndrome (ATP III) is depicted incorrectly?
Fasting plasma glucose ≥100 mg/dL
Serum HDL-C <40 mg/dL in men, <50 mg/dL in women
Serum triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL
Waist circumference ≥40” in men, ≥35” in women
 

3. Lifestyle modifications focus on weight reduction and increased physical activity for the management of metabolic syndrome. How much moderately intense physical activity (eg, brisk walking) is recommended?

 
 

4. Which marker is elevated in patients with metabolic syndrome?

 

5. Approximately what percent of US adults meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome using ATP III criteria?

 

We have several treatment plans for metabolic disorders. There are I.V. therapies with essential nutrients and Momordica to kick start your metabolism. We have hundreds of successful weight loss patients who did our HCG diet combined with light exercise and a restricted diet.

Eliminate your inflammation. Reduce your risk of heart disease and cancers.

One of the best treatments is ozone chelation. Both therapies have been shown to reverse Type II diabetes. Chelation removes heavy metals that cause cardiovascular disease and free radical activity. Ozone kills pathogens that damage organ systems including the pancreas. The National Institutes of Health TACT Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy showed that 37% of patients with diabetes out of a total of 1700 patients had a 41% reduction in cardiac events, 52% drop in recurrent myocardial infarctions and 43% reduction of deaths. Chelation should become mainstream treatment for Type II diabetes. All Ozone and I.V. therapies are MD ordered and RN/NP administered in NYS.

For an oral route: I highly recommend Xymogen's CinnDromeX capsules and OptiMetabolix 2:1 for healthy glucose and insulin metabolism. You can't beat 21 grams of vegan protein coupled with B-vitamins, Chromium, Iodine, Brown seaweek, Cinnamon 10:1, Organic green tea extract, Alpha-Lipoic acid, Vanadium and Benfotiamine. This is a highly bioavailable and gut friendly shake is clinically validated and reduces the impact of high glycemic food.

Our ozone therapy combined with chelation is a proven therapy to reverse cardiovascular disease. Eliminating pathogens and heavy metals with ozone chelation allows your heart to function normally and your metabolism to behave normally.

Answer Key:
1. C. 2,400 mg - The DASH diet has been shown to improve triglycerides, diastolic BP and fasting glucose.

Azadbakh L, et al. Diabetes Care. 2005;28(12):2823-2831.
 
2. B. BP ≥140/90 mm Hg - Any BP ≥130/85 mm Hg or drug treatment for elevated BP. ATP III criteria define metabolic syndrome as the presence of any 3 of the 5 traits.

Adult Treatment Panel III. JAMA. 2001;285(19):2486-2497.
 
3. B. 30 minutes daily - Increasing the level of physical activity appears to further enhance the beneficial effect.

Thompson PD, et al. Circulation. 2003;107(24):3109-3116.
 
4. A. All of the answers are correct - Inflammatory and prothrombotic markers are associated with an increased risk for subsequent CVD and type 2 diabetes.

Koh KK, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2005;46(11):1978-1985.
 
5. E.35% - Actually, 34.5%. The number is even higher using International Diabetes Federation criteria for metabolic syndrome: 39%.

Ford ES. Diabetes Care. 2005;28(11):2745-2749.
