Discuss the cause and identify two risk factors for developing metabolic syndrome. Provide recommendations for a diet that would decrease the risk of developing this syndrome.

Question 2

Kati is a 27-year-old Caucasian who works as a bank teller. She is 5'3 tall and weighs 102 pounds. She began experiencing recurrent gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, steatorrhea, and flatulence several months ago. She made an appointment with her physician after noticing that she was losing weight. Laboratory tests confirmed a diagnosis of celiac disease.
  The gastrointestinal symptoms Kati is experiencing are due to:
 
 a. severe damage to the intestinal mucosa and subsequent malabsorption.
  b. a lack of pancreatic enzymes and resulting malabsorption.
  c. gastrointestinal obstructions caused by the secretion of thick mucus.
  d. bacterial overgrowth causing a disruption in fat digestion and absorption.

Answer to Question 1

The underlying cause of metabolic syndrome is not entirely clear, but it is thought to result from central adiposity and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance refers to the diminished ability of cells to respond to the action of insulin in promoting the transport of glucose from blood into muscles and other tissues. To compensate, the pancreas produces more insulin, resulting in hyperinsulinemia. A sedentary lifestyle and a pro-inflammatory, atherogenic diet contribute to insulin resistance, while progressive weight gain, central obesity, inflammation, existing cancer and HIV increase the risk.
Recommendations:
 A Mediterranean-style diet (eating primarily plant-basedfoods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts
 Replacing butter with healthy fats, such as olive oil
 Using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavorfoods
 Limiting red meat to no more than a few times a month)
