A 35-year-old man eats commercial bento almost every day at noon, and must take a cup of sugary hand-shake drink back to the office to enjoy. Over time, his weight and waist circumference have increased a lot. A medical examination found that he has moderate to severe Fatty liver, and has suffered from metabolic syndrome. According to doctors, men are more likely to suffer from the three highs, heart disease, and stroke in the future than ordinary people.

Liang Chengchao, deputy director of Beitou Health Management Hospital, said that the recent health examination report of the above-mentioned man showed that his waist circumference was as high as 112 cm, which exceeded the normal standard for men (90 cm), and his triglycerides were 239 mg/dl, which was also higher than the upper limit of the standard value. 150; Abdominal ultrasound showed that he had suffered from moderate to severe fatty liver. The man has already suffered from metabolic syndrome, and the chances of suffering from three highs, heart disease, and stroke in the future are much higher than ordinary people.

Liang Chengchao said that fatty liver has become the main culprit of chronic liver disease in the world. It not only damages the liver, but also causes chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. The cause of fatty liver is directly related to abnormal lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and obesity.

He said that the formation of fatty liver is closely related to sugar, starch, alcohol and excessive calories, especially the added sugar in hand-shake drinks is “high fructose corn syrup”, because only the liver can process a large amount of fructose and metabolize it into fat and uric acid. In addition, excess calories can also cause fatty liver.

There are 5 risk factors for metabolic syndrome, and if 3 of the 5 items are met, you will have metabolic syndrome:

1. Abdominal fat accumulation (waist circumference men≧90cm, women≧80cm)

2. High blood pressure (systolic blood pressure≧130mmHg or diastolic blood pressure≧85mmHg)

3. Low high-density cholesterol (men <40mg/dL, women <50mg/dL)

4. High triglyceride (TG) (≧150 mg/dl)

5. High fasting blood glucose (blood glucose ≧100mg/dL)
