What Is Metabolic Syndrome?
8. Dietary Treatment
Adjusting your diet is a primary way to treat metabolic syndrome and gain control of your health. Approach it one step at a time, beginning with incorporating more whole foods into your menu. By moving away from processed foods, you are naturally eliminating the unintentional consumption of trans fats, salt, and sugar.
Move toward eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and lentils. Add in potassium-rich foods such as mushrooms and tomatoes to help balance blood pressure. Eat lean proteins in small amounts. The addition of omega-3 foods such as nuts, avocados, and fish can raise HDL to keep your heart healthy.
