                    [Summary] => The metabolic syndrome or MS is an imminent threat in the Philippines and the rest of Asia, much worse in magnitude than the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) threat. It is most likely a result of the "eat all you can, and drink all you can" mentality.

When we hear circulation, we always have in mind the big blood vessels supplying the various organs of the body.

In the United States (the country with the most available resources for health care), a 1997 report prepared by an expert committee stated that among people with high blood pressure, only 68 percent were aware they had such a condition and only 53 percent were receiving medical treatment.

Mang Edgar, a 56-year-old taxi driver from Mandaluyong, has been experiencing chest heaviness for the past six months, particularly while climbing the stairs to his third-floor apartment.
