Metabolic syndrome

In Japan Metabolic syndrome has been much talked about since a few years ago.

This syndrome cause an arterial sclerosis.

It is now a social problem.

In general, such people with high blood sugar level, high blood pressure and a potbelly are said to be suffering from Metabolic syndrome.

There are some criterions for the syndrome: neutral fat, blood pressure, the size of waist, etc.

Japanese men with over 85cm waist size and Japanese women with over 88cm waist size have a possibility of Metabolic syndrome.

At the moment, these criterions don’t fit me, but I have to be careful about my food life because I can gain wait easily.

Sigh. Weight gain makes me so sad. I am overweight but not because I don't eat healthily or I don't exercise. I have a thyroid disorder that doesn't allow me to control my metabolism, so I either become underweight or overweight. And my medications for my thyroid disorder actually makes me gain even more weight. T__T

Medical conditions in English might be quite difficult for second language speakers to understand. I don't know how to say thyroid disorder in Japanese, but I know thyroid is 甲状腺. I hope you get what I mean. -__-;;

I'm very sorry to hear your condition.
Thanks to your Japanese explanation, I got what you said.
You are really positive, so I couldn't believe your disorder.

I do wish you to recover your health as soon as possible.
