How 10% Weight Loss Can Reverse a Deadly Cascade?
Lose 10%. Heal the metabolism. Save a life.
I wake up and go to the gym. I saw lots of people running on the treadmill. Trying to lose their body fat. Because everyone understands that weight loss tends to be a healthy life. True. But most of us assume that weight loss really wouldn’t make any difference unless one gets skinny. But that's not true.
If you are losing 10 percent of your body weight, you are still in the overweight category according to BMI. Don’t worry this could already make a big impact within your body. No, I am talking about that you will look good in an Instagram post. Instead, I am talking about real health, those measurable changes that have the potential of saving lives.
So what is that deadly cascade i am talking about? Let me explain.
It’s when our body system gets locked in the repetition of
High blood sugar
Belly fat
High blood pressure
High triglycerides
Low HDL (“good”) cholesterol
All together these constitute metabolic syndrome. I talked about this in my previous blog post. It’s a major culprit in heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and untimely death.
