Reversing the Metabolic Syndrome

What is the Metabolic Syndrome?

 

The metabolic syndrome is a collection of high-risk symptoms including elevated lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), hypertension and a proinflammatory state.  Having the metabolic syndrome places the individual at high-risk for heart disease and diabetes.  Men are more prone to developing the metabolic syndrome due to their natural tendency to deposit excess fat as visceral adipose tissue (VAT) also called intra-abdominal fat.  Postmenopausal women are also at risk due to lower estrogen to androgen ratios.  The shift from a pear shape to an apple shape displays this hormonal shift.  In fact, the apple shape is primarily caused by VAT as opposed to subcutaneous (fat under the skin) fat.

 

The American Heart Association has established standards for diagnosing the metabolic syndrome.  The patient must have 3 of the following conditions:

 

1. Waist circumference greater than 40 inches for men, 35 inches for women.

2. Triglycerides greater than 150 mg/dL.

3. HDL Cholesterol less than 40 mg/d for men, less than 50 mg/dl for women.

4. Blood pressure greater than 130/85 mm Hg.

5. Fasting glucose greater than 100 mg/dL.

 

What causes the Metabolic Syndrome?

 

The metabolic syndrome appears to be caused by insulin resistance and the associated accumulation of VAT.  VAT releases inflammatory adipocytokines, which contribute to the proinflammatory state.  Fatty liver is also strongly correlated with VAT [1], and is a likely cause of the elevated lipids.

 

VAT accumulation correlates with fasting insulin, total whole-body glucose disposal, glucose oxidation and nonoxidative whole-body glucose disposal [2]. Also, factors associated with insulin resistance are also correlated with VAT accumulation, including triglycerides [3], hepatic lipase [4] and HL/LPL ratio [5]. Likewise, factors inversely associated with insulin resistance are also inversely correlated with VAT accumulation including HDL [3].

 

 

How can the Metabolic Syndrome be reversed?

 

Improving insulin sensitivity is of primary importance.  This requires an improved diet along with exercise. 

 

1. Lose weight.  Weight loss greatly improves insulin sensitivity.

2. Upgrade your fat intake.  Saturated fat significantly worsens insulin resistance, while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (especially omega-3) improve it [6].

3. Exercise.  Even something as simple as daily walking reduces visceral adipose tissue areas and improves insulin resistance [7].

4. Minimize stress.  Cortisol appears to be involved in VAT accumulation and insulin resistance.

5. Eat more fiber.  Fiber improves insulin sensitivity and is associated with lower amounts of VAT [9].  Pectin appears to be an especially effective fiber for reducing VAT [10].

6. Take supplements. Pantethine [11], taurine [12], calcium [13] and tea [14] all improve insulin sensitivity and reduce VAT.

MOGS to Battle China for RMT Market Dominance

Massive Online Gaming Sales LLC (more commonly known as MOGS) is undertaking a feat not accomplished by any American company before them; successfully competing with the Chinese giants of Real-Money Trading (RMT) for WoW Gold.

 

RMT emerged around 5 years ago and is described to gaming outsiders as “the sale of virtual gaming currencies, items and services”. The RMT industry broke into mainstream media through World of Warcraft, as hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers dedicated their time to “farming” Gold (the game’s currency). These hordes of low-waged workers have formed the supply basis for the entire industry, with little of the available stock of Gold coming from outside China. This provides a distinct advantage to Chinese companies within the industry, and has lead to the industry being dominated by Chinese outfits such as IGE, THSale and WoWMine. In contrast, companies outside the South-East Asian region must pay a premium for Chinese Gold or work hard to find Western suppliers of the precious virtual currency. Though these companies provide much better service quality to customers, the industry is notoriously price sensitive and low prices often drive orders to China.

 

MOGS is hoping to shift this trend by offering prices competitive to those found in China whilst not compromising on the high service quality that has allowed them to become America’s most respected RMT company. The company has re-branded their communications, re-designed their web site and brought in skilled industry veterans to help with this mammoth task.

 

Whilst WoW Gold makes up 80% of industry sales, MOGS will still maintain its efforts with FFXI Gil and EVE ISK, two games which MOGS traditionally enjoys great success. “We’re committed to growing and making moves on our Chinese competitors”, states Hayden Gill (MOGS CEO), “but we’ve no intention to alienate our existing customer base. Our success will come through extending our ethos of customer orientation, not emulating the tactics of those overseas”.

 

The success of this American company is in the hands of the MMORPG gamers of the Western hemisphere. Will they soon value superior service over lower prices? We shall wait and see.

Guitar Heat: One-stop place for all things related to guitar!

Guitar Heat is a different kind of guitar site from the run-of-the-mill you usually come across.  It has just about anything you could want if you love playing guitar, just want to learn or talk about it with other enthusiasts. When last time I visited the site, I saw many Guitar Books and Videos to be downloaded for free. These were books & videos by some of the legends themselves, like Vinnie Moore, Metallica, AcDc. Also from what I can make out is that there are almost regular additions to these sections. Also a must visit in this site is the Lessons section.
 
The Lessons section takes you from basic chord theory and construction through more advanced concepts such as modes and speed patterns.  Written in a style that’s easy to understand and illustrated with tablature, the lessons are explained simply and thoroughly. I must say about one of the lessons, Theory Behind Modes, I was never able to understand modes in a better and easier way before. What I like more is that all the lessons have suitable examples with them, also what I have seen is that the author is kind enough to reply back to almost all the comments posted. I made a personal request to the author to post a lesson on Guitar String Skipping, and he posted two lessons in that area.
 
If you want to talk to other guitarists, Guitar Heat has that, too.  The Community section is full of lively discussions about music, techniques, gear, bands and theory. If you want feedback on one of your songs, or want to promote you band Guitar Heat has a place for that, too.
 
Guitar Heat is your one-stop place on the internet for all things related to guitar!
