What Is Syndrome X

What is Syndrome X? Well to me, it sounds one a great James Bond movie or a hot new Sifi movie, but it is not. In fact, snoring could be a symptom of Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome X.

If your snoring sounds like NY’s Grand Central Station and even your neighbors are complaining about your snoring and the Nazi sound police have been to your house twice this month…then that snoring could be big red flag on the field or trouble ahead. This is more of an issue than the fact that your significant other sleeping on the couch, with eear plugs.

Raucous snoring, as well as trouble falling asleep, waking your self up with your snoring and waking up unrefreshed, all mean you’re at a higher risk for Syndrome X.

Syndrome X is another name for metabolic syndrome, which can mean that you are probably going to be going down the road to heart disease, diabetes and strokes.

Statistics show that one in four adults in the U.S. has metabolic syndrome or syndrome X. Do the math Baby Boomers, that is 20 percent and of those 20 percent, many don’t have a clue about having Syndrome X or what metabolic syndrome symptoms are. Are you one?

What Are Metabolic Syndrome Symptoms

Until recently, the top symptoms for Metabolic Syndrome were bulging belly fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and low healthy HDL cholesterol.

Now researchers have added sleep troubles to the early warning signs. Such signs as serious snoring doubles your chances of metabolic syndrome or syndrome X and not only that, but…difficulty falling asleep increases your chances just about as much.

How Do You Stop Metabolic Syndrome Symptoms

Walk: Walk 30 minutes every day.
Lose Weight: If you lose 10 percent of the weight you gained since the age of 18, it will  reduce your risk of getting Syndrome X, by 30 percent.

Watch Your Fats: Only buy polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats(canola, walnut, olive and peanut oils) to raise your healthy HDL cholesterol and lower your bad LDL.

No Sugars or Syrups: Sugars and all syrups put you at risk for metabolic syndrome X and will clog your arteries, as well.

Get Better Sleep: Get treatment for your snoring and bad sleeping habits.

Visit your Doctor: Natural and pharmaceutical medications are available that can get you on the road to recovery.

Reviewing: What is Syndrome X? Something as simple as snoring, weight gain, bad sleeping patterns, bulging belly fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low healthy HDL cholesterol,and difficulty falling asleep. If you have three of these symptoms you have a 20 percent chance of having Syndrome X.
