Clinical Studies Increased Protein causes reduced metabolic syndrome risk factors

Los Angeles, 6 October 2008 - Obesity often goes along and associated with metabolic syndrome - a group with five factors, which consist of high blood pressure, large waist circumference, blood sugar, trigliserida increased and reduced HDL cholesterol level.
Reduction in body weight is one of the first steps to protect or treat this syndrome, and researchers from the University of Ulm, Germany, found that the increase in the Feed protein eating pattern will reduce the risk factors syndrome metabolism when compared with the level of protein Feed standar.Penelitian this who presented at the end of this weekend at the Obesity Society annual meeting in Phoenix, involving 110 subject excess body weight with the metabolism syndrome randomly divided into two groups and one run during the first three months tahun.Selama phase decrease body weight, those who joined in high-protein group instructed to follow a diet with a protein matrix twice normal diet, they also replace two meals a day with Herbalife Formula 1 European, Shake makanan.Kelompok of other instructed to consume the amount of protein in the standard / normal with the usual pattern of eating, do not consume Shake makanan.Selama as a substitute for the next 9 months - phase management / maintain weight loss - all participants consumed a Shake every day for food sebagaibagian pattern of eating them, and both groups maintain Feed protein level in accordance with the pattern of eating that they anut during the previous three months . All the participants experienced a decrease in body weight after one year, but they joined in the high protein group decreased more (almost 12.5 kilograms, while the group Feed protein standards, only about 7 kilograms) with a decrease in body fat is also higher while maintaining the body mass without fat. A more significant is the end of the research findings that 64% of those who joined in the high protein group no longer enter the criteria of metabolism syndrome, compared with only 41% of the amount of protein standard Feed.

"We know that a decrease in body weight will reduce the risk factor syndrome metabolism," said Marion Flechtner-Mors, Ph.D., one of the perpetrators of this research and the head of the Obesity Research Group at the University of Ulm, Germany, "but we find that more and more objects / research participants showed increased resilience to risk factors during this Feed protein eating patterns in their improvement. "

Nearly 47 million U.S. citizens suffer metabolism syndrome, and the number continues to grow - with a parallel increase in cases Obesitas.Flechtner - Moss added, "Effective interventions, such as intervention pengkonsumsian of high protein foods to reduce body weight can reduce the risk factors associated with the syndrome and affect the metabolism life of millions of people.
