Summary

What is syndrome X? It's a resistance to insulin - the hormone needed to burn food for energy - combined with high cholesterol or triglycerides, high blood pressure, or too much body fat. Syndrome X ages you prematurely and significantly increases your risk of heart disease, hypertension, obesity, eye disease, nervous system disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases.

Syndrome X is the first book to tell you how to fight the epidemic disorder that is derailing the health of nearly a third of North Americans. It outlines a complete three-step program - including easy-to-follow diets, light physical activity, and readily available vitamins and nutritional supplements - that will safeguard you against developing syndrome X or reverse it if you already have it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ambivalent on cholesterol

Very interesting book covering causes, science and guides on how to avoid syndrome x. Very concrete tips and enlightening book.
i found some parts contradictory where total cholesterol is mentioned as bad, but in other parts the more nuanced subparts of cholesterols are discussed reflecting more modern knowledge..maybe it was updated and some parts of earlier revisions are kept?
Only imperial measures in this book. targets north american audience
