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.

One of the biggest problems we have today is dealing with stress.  Everyone gets stressed from time to time. Stress is actually a normal function of the body. However people who are chronically stressed often develop metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrom X. This is a condition that causes a person to gain more weight than they should, based on the calories they consume. A study funded by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were 60 million people, in 2000, to be effected by metabolic syndrome.

Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have determined a neurotransmitter (NPY) and the receptor (Y2R) are activated during stress leading to obesity and metabolic syndrome. They were able to block weight gain and metabolic syndrome in mice with a Y2R blocker injected directly into the abdominal fat. The result was a decrease in fat in the abdomen and reduced fat in the liver. It also helped control insulin resistance, and blood pressure.

Researchers are hopeful that this will work the same way in humans. This would lead to better control of metabolic syndrome and reduce chances of a person developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
