The Chinese people have used herbal remedies for centuries. Can we learn from them and help turn around the number of cases of metabolic syndrome? Metabolic syndrome, also known as Syndrome X or Insulin Resistance is not only considered a disease in its own right, but is also a precursor to Type II diabetes. It is estimates to affect up to 25% of the USA population, most of whom are unaware that they have the condition. For more information on insulin resistance view our other articles.

So what herbs can help people that are pre-diabetic?

• Cinnamon and Fenugreek – These are both highly effective spices at lowering blood glucose levels.
• Ginger and Caper – These guys counter insulin resistance by increasing sensitivity to insulin.
• Capers, Coriander, and Garlic – mimic the effects of insulin on the cell receptors.
• Coriander – also enhances insulin secretion by the pancreas.

You can add spice to your life to help reverse metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. However the primary treatment is a change in lifestyle. We need to concentrate on our nutrition and health. Eating correctly and more exercise is the real key in reversing this deadly disease.

We are killing our children with food and don’t know it. Many families need to have both parents working to provide for the family. We have become accustomed to convenience with our food and nutrition choices. On top of that, super sized portions make it even worse. This type of nutrition must stop for our children health.

In a study that began in 1973 researchers tested children on their levels of blood glucose, triglycerides, “good” cholesterol, body weight, blood pressure, and etc. Thirty-one of these kids had at least three abnormal factors and were classified as having metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors — such as high blood pressure, obesity and high blood sugar levels — that together increase the likelihood of developing heart problems or diabetes.

Twenty-one of the thirty-one subjects continue to have metabolic syndrome as an adult, and seventeen of the subjects have cases of cardiovascular disease.

Many moms and dads have a lot of stress in their lives and many are too busy to cook. It is clear, from this study, that we must make time and have those family dinners with quality food and conversation. Most people gain weight after childhood, rather than lose weight. That is why we need to teach our children about proper nutrition so they will have a healthy future.
