I have recently read an article published in Medline Plus, which states that, “People with metabolic syndrome run four times the risk of heart disease and seven times the risk of diabetes”. It further reports that a person may have metabolic syndrome if he exhibits three of the following symptoms: abdominal obesity, high blood triglyceride levels, lower levels of “good” HDL cholesterol, elevated blood pressure and elevated fasting blood glucose.
This article concerns me because Nai has 4 of the 5 symptoms mentioned above. Fifteen days ago, he told me that he weighed 187 already lbs (I wonder what his weight is now?). This means that he is above the recommended weight for his height at his current age. I just hope that their drilling operations will stabilize soon so he will have enough time to exercise after a day’s (or a week’s) field work to go with his diet regimen, which I strongly believe does not fit his schedule. When he arrives tomorrow for his 7 off-base days, I will suggest that he change his tea to pomengranate or berry juice, eat more fruits like guava and banana, and vegetables like cabbage. In addition, while he can’t do some exercise at the moment, he can check out the list of best diet pills at consumerpricewatch.net and buy one of the safest, best pill to try out for himself.
