About metabolic syndrome

I am sharing this because I learned something I didn't know about metabolic syndrome.

 

Metabolic Syndrome

 

We eat food, digest it, and absorb the nutrients necessary for the human body.

to maintain the human body

Remove the remaining residue.

Understand the circulation process

It will help maintain the health of the elderly.

 

Above all, vascular health is very important in old age.

It is considered important.

 

How to prevent the most common diseases in old age, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and stroke

 

Understanding the metabolic processes of the human body well, I should eliminate bad habits and strive to keep my body healthy.

습니다.

 

The previous process can be summarized as follows.

 

1. The food we eat

Water is in the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

Leading to the anus

A 9-meter-long pipe

After passing,

It will come out as poop.

 

2. Food particles in the tube

During the passing process

All absorbed items

Go to the liver.

The liver converts this into glucose.

Changed to 0.

 

3. Glucose travels through the blood

Turning into muscle cells while wandering

I will be able to enter.

 

4. With glucose alone

Cannot enter the cell.

You must open the door to enter.

Going there,

Opening this door

It's insulin.

 

5. Insulin is related to food intake.

Every time I come in

It will be released from the pancreas.

 

6. From food in the liver

Absorbed nutrients

Convert to glucose

When it is born,

Insulin is for glucose

Cells within 2 hours

Put everything inside internally.

 

7. However, if food enters frequently and in large amounts, the insulin becomes exhausted and starts not functioning properly.

 

8. Glucose cannot all enter the cells and remains in the blood.

 

9. This is called "insulin resistance."

 

10. If "insulin resistance" develops and glucose cannot fully enter the cells, and even two hours after a meal there is still a lot of glucose remaining in the blood, it is called diabetes mellitus.

 

11. The remaining glucose in the blood initially damages the blood vessels, hardening them like sugar, and causes inflammation.

 

12. During the process of healing this inflammation, blood clots form.

 

The liver converts the glucose remaining in the blood, which cannot all enter the cells, into fat for storage.

 

14. This is called 'fatty liver'.

 

15. 'Fatty liver' is usually imagined as fat sticking around the liver, but

Specifically, it is the storage space of liver cells being filled with fat.

 

16. When the liver needs to work, but the surrounding tissue fills the space, the work cannot be done properly, and the liver begins to deteriorate.

 

Approximately one in every hundred people with fatty liver develops liver cancer.

 

Because there is a lot of glucose in the blood, even after filling the liver with fat, some glucose may remain.

 

19. Remaining glucose is excreted in the urine.

 

20. When glucose appears in the urine, it is detected in a urine test.

I was informed that I have diabetes.

 

Insulin is produced in the pancreas as needed, but when diabetes occurs,

Insulin resistance develops, preventing proper glucose uptake into the cells.

 

22. If insulin resistance allows only 20% efficiency in delivering glucose into cells, then

Injecting five times the insulin to reach 100% is insulin injection.

 

When the amount of glucose in the blood increases, the blood vessels begin to deteriorate, and the blood becomes thick.

 

24. As the blood becomes thicker, the heart must pump more forcefully to circulate the thicker blood.

 

It means developing high blood pressure.

 

26. The reason is that diabetes and high blood pressure often occur together, along with hyperlipidemia, which involves high levels of fat in the blood.

 

27. Diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia often occur together, so they are given a combined name.

 

28. The name is 'Metabolic Syndrome'.

 

There is no medication for 'metabolic syndrome'.

When you go to the hospital, they will give you medicine, but it is not a cure.

 

30. Hypertension medication does not treat hypertension, but only lowers blood pressure.

 

31. Diabetes medication is not a treatment but supplies insulin, and hyperlipidemia is not treated but only lowers cholesterol levels.

 

It's about providing symptom relief medication rather than a cure.

 

33. To date, metabolic syndrome can be treated with moderate exercise, fasting, and small meals.

 

People need to eat when they are hungry, that is, on an empty stomach.

 

35. Lack of exercise and frequent overeating can lead to heart attacks and strokes through diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.
