Following our Natural Health & Wellness Center “Beyond Holistic” can differentiate healing metabolic syndrome through holistic modality - approach comparatively to the conventional (allopathic) approach. It is a “step-by-step” programs which may help anyone avert the potentially deadly consequences of metabolic syndrome. It assures:
Step 1: Proper Assess of Body Composition.
The first step involves knowing and understanding your body composition and its importance in helping to prevent metabolic syndrome. Surprisingly, stepping on a scale and seeing what you weigh does not tell very much about your risk of developing metabolic disease.
Body mass index (BMI) is a standard measure of overweight and obesity. BMI is obtained by dividing your body weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m2). However, BMI fails to account for body composition. Your body composition is a measure of how much lean body mass (muscle) and adipose tissue (body fat) you have.
Example: Compare two 40-year-old men, both of whom stand six feet tall and weigh 200 pounds. One man is very muscular (about 7% body fat) and has a waist circumference of 32 inches. By contrast, the other man is out of shape (about 30% body fat) and has a waist circumference of 40 inches. The key point is both men have the same BMI.
Step 2: Maintaining Good Body Composition.
Maintaining a stable body weight means eating high-quality foods like salmon, vegetables, wild rice, berries, and citrus fruits. The food choices a person should make are those that would benefit everyone, whether or not with metabolic syndrome, obesity or Type 2 diabetes.
Maintaining a healthy weight, or if a person is overweight, losing 5%-10% of body weight could help improve your diabetes.
Eating foods that are highly processed or of low nutritional value, such as cakes, cookies, bagels, fried chicken, and American cheese are mistaken decision.
Eating a wide variety of foods, while having a colorful plate is the best way to ensure that the person is eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and other forms of protein such as nuts, low fat dairy products, and whole grains/cereals.
Studies show that diets that emphasize whole foods, such as the Mediterranean diet, Low Glycemic Index diet help maintain lean body mass while also improving metabolic markers like insulin, cholesterol, fibrinogen, and uric acid. In general, a healthy diet is a healthy diet.
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables can keep fat and sugar consumption down, and keep portions reasonable.
Choosing foods high in fiber such as whole grain breads, fruit, and cereal. A person needs 35 to 45 grams of fiber per day.
Watching for a portion/control, eating the amount of food in the meal plan or eating about the same amount of food each day, while distributing meals three to five hours apart.
Eating meal at regular times every day.
Skipping meals is a wrong decision. If you are taking a diabetes medicine, eat your meals and take your medicine at the same times each day.
Step 3: Improving Metabolic Function with Nutritional Supplements.
Smart supplementation can have a significant impact on metabolic health. Many nutritional supplements hold great promise for normalizing blood sugar and metabolic control. Between them is a whole vitamin complex with antioxidants.
Step 4: Changes in lifestyle
Changes in life style, and nutritional interventions with condition-specific dietary supplements, may have more to offer for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome than do existing Allopathic management strategies (Braaten, 1994).
Combating the specific components of this syndrome has become one of the most important public health initiatives in Western Society (Ford, 2002). In particular, the increasingly global initiative for achievement of a healthy body weight must be comprehensive in its tactics and current low carbohydrate diets require modification and facilitation with revised dietary guidelines and the help of key dietary supplements or functional foods.
