EXCESS WEIGHT, OBESITY AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Excess weight and obesity greatly increase the likelihood of developing coronary artery disease (CAD). This latter disorder occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle become narrowed. The deterioration is a process called atherosclerosis and is caused by a build-up of plaque on the inner walls or linings of medium-sized and large arteries.

Plaque, which consists of a substance containing cholesterol, calcium, clotting proteins and other compounds, reduces the circumference of the arteries, impeding blood flow to the heart and oxygen supply to the heart muscle.

Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death in the U.S. in both men and women. When blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart are reduced or cut off, you can develop:

Angina - chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart is not getting enough blood.

Heart attack - this happens when a blood clot suddenly cuts off most or all blood supply to part of the heart. Cells in the heart muscle that do not receive enough oxygen-carrying blood begin to die. This can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle. Over time, coronary artery disease can weaken your heart muscle.

Heart Failure - this occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood to the rest of the body effectively. Heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. But it does mean that your heart is failing to pump blood the way that it should.

Arrhythmia - changes in the normal rhythm of your heartbeats, some of which can be quite serious.

Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) - an underlying cause of coronary artery disease, this disorder is characterized by a group of risk factors that include:

Obesity and Coronary Artery Disease Insulin Resistance

Abdominal obesity - excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen
Atherogenic dyslipidemia - blood fat disorders like high triglycerides, low HDL "good" cholesterol and high LDL "bad" cholesterol which foster plaque build-up in artery walls
Elevated blood pressure
Insulin Resistance - an underlying factor in obesity caused by the body's inability to properly use blood sugar and insulin
Prothrombotic state - the presence of high fibrinogen or plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 in the blood stream
Proinflammatory state - the presence of elevated C-reactive protein in the blood

Metabolic Syndrome sufferers are at increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease as well as coronary artery disease and other disorders related to plaque build-up. These include stroke and peripheral vascular disease, as well as Pre- and Type 2 Diabetes. More than 50 million Americans are estimated to have Metabolic Syndrome.

Excess weight gain and obesity caused by the glucose and insulin imbalance called Insulin Resistance are key risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome. The American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute advise that Metabolic Syndrome sufferers can be identified by having three or more of these components:

Elevated waist circumference:
Men - Equal to or greater than 40 inches (102 cm)
Women - Equal to or greater than 35 inches (88 cm)
Elevated triglycerides:
Equal to or greater than 150 mg/dL
Reduced HDL (“good”) cholesterol:
Men - Less than 40 mg/dL
Women - Less than 50 mg/dL
Elevated blood pressure:
Equal to or greater than 130/85 mm Hg
Elevated fasting glucose:
At least 110 mg/dL

The primary goal of someone suffering from excess weight and obesity-linked Metabolic Syndrome is to reduce the risk for coronary artery disease, Cardiovascular Disease and Pre-Diabetes. The latter is a reversible condition which, if neglected, can lead to irreversible Type 2 Diabetes and may require daily insulin injections for life. Type 2 Diabetes significantly increases the risk for blindness, amputation and kidney disease.

Excess weight and obesity may also linked to the onset of inflammation. For more information, click on Inflammation, Insulin Resistance and Weight Issues.

Lifestyle changes are crucial to reduce Cardiovascular Disease risks like LDL "bad" cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure) and unbalanced glucose and insulin levels.

There is no one pill to counter excess weight and obesity . A complete system is required to reverse this condition - one that includes nutraceuticals (vitamins, herbs and minerals that are disease-specific), a realistic exercise program combined with nutritional guidance and a support network that will help you change unhealthy lifestyle choices. Together, these factors can result in:

Weight loss to achieve a desirable BMI (Body Mass Index) of less than 25 kg/m2
Increased physical activity, with an ultimate goal of at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity 3-5 days per week
Healthy eating habits that include reduced intake of saturated fat, trans-fat and cholesterol

"I have been on the Insulite System for approx 3 months. I have lost 33 lbs, my liver functions are normal and my A1C came back at 5.1, down from 8.03 months ago. I was taking 10 Glucovance pills daily, now I take only 2 pills in the AM. My blood sugar is normal, my energy is higher than it has been in years and I feel great. Insulite along with a change in my diet has changed my life. I tell everyone that asks me what I have done to change my life, about the Insulite program. Your product is fantastic. I have cut out all sweets, flour, dairy and have no cravings."

"In less than 3 weeks I've started losing weight again after being "stuck" on Weight Watchers for about a year. I've lost about 4 lbs since starting Insulite but more significantly my blood pressure is well within normal limits now and I can tell my metabolism is better. I am not getting that slump between meals and am able to control between-meal snacking, and I have a lot of energy throughout the day rather than periods where I need to nap. I just ordered the 6 months supply. Thank you!"

"Obesity is no longer an American disease. Globalization's bounty—economic development, lowered trade costs, and rising incomes—has turned it into a worldwide pandemic for rich and poor alike. If it's left unchecked, the economic health of developing countries will surely be crushed under the weight."

"I cannot believe the difference the Insulite System has made in how I feel. My appetite has changed tremendously. I do not crave carbs and sugar and my appetite is somewhat diminished."

"There is a clear and consistent scientific literature showing pervasive bias against overweight people. It is logical that the bias begets discrimination. There is now sufficient evidence of discrimination to suggest it may be powerful and occurs across important areas of living. Studies on employment have shown hiring prejudice in laboratory studies. Subjects report being less inclined to hire an overweight person than a thin person, even with identical qualifications. Individuals make negative inferences about obese persons in the workplace, feeling that such people are lazy, lack self-discipline, and are less competent. One might expect these attributions to affect wages, promotions, and disciplinary actions, and such seems to be the case. Overweight women, for the same work, receive less pay than their thin counterparts. This does not seem to be the case for men, but overweight men sort themselves into lower-level jobs. There is evidence that promotion prospects are dimmer for overweight individuals, and there are many examples of people being fired on account of excess weight."

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your caring advice and guiding me towards taking control of my health. It's hard to express in words how long I have been trying to find the answers you have so easily provided for me. I am so excited about the positive changes in my health and I can't wait to see where I am six months from now, yet alone the year. Thank you again!"

"Middle-age people who are overweight but have normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels are kidding themselves if they think their health is just fine." "Northwestern University researchers tracked 17,643 patients for three decades and found that being overweight in mid-life substantially increased the risk of dying of heart disease later in life – even in people who began the study with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels."

"Simply losing 5-7% of your body fat (typically 10-15 pounds) and increasing your physical activity by taking a brisk walk 4-5 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Type II Diabetes by almost 60%."
