When it comes to annual lab results, we’re assailed with numbers: HDL, LDL, Serum Glucose, Triglycerides and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) to name a few. Is there any ONE no-lab-work-needed number that can give us a clue if we are preventing Metabolic Syndrome* and making deposits into our health bank?
Yes. We can calculate the ONE number with this magic formula: Take your height in inches and divide by two. (Example: a 5’6″ person is 66 inches tall. The math looks like this: 66/2 = 33 inches.) If your waist circumference (measured at the belly button) comes in at half your height or less, in our example, 33 inches – the Magic Number is reached.
Next step is for us to write down whatever our own mathematic number is and stick it on the refrigerator door.
In a year when an amazed doctor looks at our lab work and asks how we improved so much, we’ll be able to say “It was easy, doc. I let my Magic Number lead the way.”
*Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing our risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
