Client Fitness Question Of The Week, 11
Unfortunately, I'm starting to get this question more and more---questions about metabolic syndrome.
Client Q: I have metabolic syndrome. What, if anything, can I do to improve my health?
Mark's A: Regular exercise and good nutrition can help the metabolic syndrome condition! Research backs up my claim!
A Johns Hopkins study has shown that regular moderate exercise can help lessen the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome includes medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, excess abdominal fat and high blood sugar.
These medical conditions increase a person's risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, or stroke. An improvement in body composition (less body fat, more lean muscle mass) was the key component in the patients' improved health. This is no surprise to me!
The exercisers in the study did not lose much weight (less than 5 pounds). But, they lost about 20% of their abdominal fat and increased lean muscle mass. The exercisers' program included cardio and weight training for 80 minutes (3 times a week).
Johns Hopkins researchers also found similar results with a study done on patients aged 55 to 75. A moderate exercise program decreased medical risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Again, improved body composition was the key to improved health.
Sounds familiar doesn't it---regular exercise and good nutrition! This combination continues to be the best way to attain or stay fit and healthy!
