Metabolic syndrome can be reversed

A Mediterranean diet which includes olive oil, nuts, fish, complex carbs and vegetables can reverse metabolic syndrome according to Spanish research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

Metabolic syndrome is a group of abnormalities in normal function and chemical processes associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

 

“Mediterranean diets supplemented with olive oil or nuts were not associated with a reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome compared with a low-fat diet; however, both diets were associated with a significant rate of reversion of metabolic syndrome,”  Nancy Babio, PhD, with Jordi Salas-Salvadó, MD, PhD wrote.
