Description: Researchers estimate that as many as two in ten Americans suffer to some extent from Syndrome X, a cluster of disorders also called Insulin Resistance Syndrome, whose symptoms include high blood pressure, obesity, infertility, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Without appropriate intervention and treatment, this newly identified condition can develop into serious, potentially life-threatening health problems. This book provides essential, up-to-the-minute information such as: the definition and causes of Syndrome X; who is likely to develop Insulin Resistance Syndrome; how to determine if one is at risk; preventive measures; the relationship between diabetes, heart disease and other health problems, and Syndrome X; available treatments; and much more.
