According to Xinhua News Agency, on December 20, 2009, the number of cars in Beijing exceeded 4 million, more and more cars for the convenience of human life, but the increase in cars with the reduction of people’s exercise, the metabolic syndrome of the growing number of people. Xiao Wang is a professional woman, usually in addition to the office will be busy with family matters, although busy all day, a few years ago for work and life, the purchase of a small car, so commuting, picking up children more convenient, but see the rising performance and happy little family is still quite happy, a happy body will have inexhaustible energy. But nearly a year, Wang found that the body is a bit wrong, work, life is obviously unable to do, but usually their own body and there is no problem ah! When she went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said she was guilty of the “metabolic syndrome” with a potential danger. The company was surprised to find out what kind of problem it was. In the 1960s, someone called abnormal glucose tolerance and hypertension the “affluenza syndrome”, and in 1988, a famous American endocrinologist called insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, abnormal glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension collectively the “X syndrome”. “In 1989, someone also summarized abdominal obesity, abnormal glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension based on hyperinsulinemia as the “death quartet”. In 1998, a committee of experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) discussed the syndrome and recommended the name “metabolic syndrome”. At present, metabolic syndrome is considered to be the pathogenesis of cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, and the relationship between metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease has been described as “two bitter gourds on one vine”. From the naming process of metabolic syndrome, we can see that metabolic syndrome is a pathology caused by lifestyle changes, with less activity and more high-calorie food intake after the affluent life. And with the increase of cars, people’s activities are even less, such as not pay attention to physical exercise, metabolic syndrome may quietly happen to you. In recent years, with the development of China’s economy, the general improvement of people’s living standards and the gradual westernization of lifestyle, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has gradually increased. Especially in today’s society, those white-collar workers and leading cadres are often held by middle-aged people, who live a fast-paced life, have little time for exercise, and bear a high-intensity, overloaded workload, which may not be felt at all, but metabolic syndrome may have already been “lurking” in their bodies. At present, metabolic syndrome has become an epidemic in China and around the world, the disease has seriously affected people’s health. Surveys in larger cities in China show that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the middle-aged and elderly population is about 20.9%. Since it is closely related to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and significantly increases the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies and deaths, it has become imperative to enhance the awareness of the disease and to provide early interventions for its treatment. So how to prevent metabolic syndrome? From a medical point of view, obesity and low physical activity are the main factors influencing the rapid increase in the development of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners should take 20-30 minutes every day to take a brisk walk, do interval exercises in the middle of work, and minimize overeating, high-fat diet and sedentary lifestyle to reduce the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. A health truth is: exercise is better than no exercise, and more exercise is better than less exercise. Not moving at all will be a big problem.
