What Is Metabolic Syndrome?
6. Foods To Avoid
Avoiding metabolic syndrome also means reducing or eliminating certain kinds of foods from your diet. Some vegetable oils, including corn, peanut, and sesame oil, are known to be high in omega-6 and trans fats and are dangerous to your health. You can reduce your consumption by eliminating pastries, frozen pizza, fried foods, nondairy coffee creamer, microwave popcorn, and similar foods.
You can also benefit by cutting down on hidden salt commonly found in processed foods, including canned vegetables, cheese, ketchup, and salad dressings. Sugar in any form should be avoided as well as artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin.
