December 29th 2010 05:31
Previously we've discussed the ill effects of Metabolic Syndrome. And today we shall summarize the diet recommended by experts.
Especially this season of sharing, gift-giving, and party-ing one should watch out for the food he or she is eating.
For those with central/abdominal obesity it is necessary to reduce caloric intake. Saturated fats and cholesterol (sources include pork, beef, and the likes) should be trimmed down. Sweets has to be trimmed down as well.
If a person is hypertensive it is advised to reduce salt intake.
Persons with elevated triglyceride levels should consider taking in more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Unsaturated fats (preferably monounsaturated fats) can be included in the diet with moderation. Sources include almonds, olive oil, sesame seeds, fish, and others. Fats from fish are especially important since they reduce tendency for blood clots and blood vessel inflammation.
