metabolic syndrome

this is the new name for a combination of being overweight, having high blood pressure, eating a poor diet, not exercising -- all the things that have been proven to eventually lead to heart disease and/or diabetes. many americans -- sometimes even children and teens -- appear to have it.

so i was interested to read that one of the several lifestyle changes those with this syndrome could make as part of the plan to prevent serious illness is a vigorous yoga practice. apparently endocrinologist reza yavari of yale incorporates it in his intensive program to combat this growing problem.
