The definition of metabolic syndrome:
- Men with a waistline of over 102 cm and women with a waistline of over 88cm.
- The value of triglyceride found in the bloodstream should not be higher than 1,7 mmol/l
- The level of HDL (so called good cholesterol) should not be less than 1,0 mmol/l in men and not less than 1,3 mmol/l in women.
- Blood pressure should not be higher than 130/85 mmHg
- A high level of blood sugar (glycemia – on an empty stomach) higher than 5,6 mmol/l
It is important to choose food carefully in order to avoid “civilizational diseases” that have developed due to eating an unhealthy diet. These diseases include heart disease, type 2 Diabetes , obesity and colon cancer.
More information about these diseases can be found on the website of the Czech Institute of metabolic syndrome (http://institut.metabolickysyndrom-klub.cz).
