Metabolic syndrome is a set of risk factors for accelerated aging and age-related diseases. Its rapid and borderless expansion heralds a global health catastrophe.
Metabolic syndrome is not a disease. It’s a series of health problems that dramatically increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke, certain cancers, weakened immune defenses and accelerated aging.
We speak of metabolic syndrome when we observe in a patient with abdominal obesity at least 2 of the following factors:
Hyperglycemia, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure.
Metabolic syndrome affects 25% to 30% of the adult population in Europe, and increases with age. It is progressing rapidly throughout the world, affecting younger and younger people.
Most people with metabolic syndrome are unaware of their condition.
Extrinsic factors, such as junk food and a sedentary lifestyle, as well as epigenetic and genetic factors, are the main causes of metabolic syndrome.
Numerous studies show that glycation is directly associated with metabolic syndrome (1 & 2).
Metabolic syndrome can be controlled by adopting a specific lifestyle at its first signs:
– Daily physical exercise,
– Preventive diet (avoid sugars, favor foods with a low glycemic index),
– Stress and sleep management.
Nutritional supplementation against glycation helps control metabolic syndrome.

[Glycation is one of the major causes of aging. Resulting from the fixation of sugars on the proteins constituting the organism, glycation generates toxic compounds that cause cellular aging. Glycation is particularly involved in metabolic disorders, skin aging and cognitive decline.] [AGE BREAKER, patented nutritional supplements, based on rosmarinic acid, recognized by aging specialists around the world for their properties to reverse the effects of glycation.]More on www.agebreaker.com
