Detailed Information
Understanding Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when three or more of these five criteria are present: elevated waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood sugar. It affects approximately 25% of adults globally and is the precursor to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
How Hemp & CBD Can Help
Hemp seeds address multiple metabolic syndrome components: omega-3 fatty acids reduce triglycerides, arginine supports blood pressure, plant sterols lower cholesterol, fiber improves blood sugar control, and GLA reduces inflammation. CBD may help with insulin sensitivity, stress-related metabolic dysfunction, and reducing visceral fat inflammation.
Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda views metabolic syndrome as Santarpanajanya Vyadhi — diseases of excess. Medohara (fat-reducing) treatments include Guggulu for cholesterol, Triphala for digestion, Gudmar for blood sugar, and Arjuna for heart health. Panchakarma detoxification, particularly Virechana, helps reset metabolic function.
