3. Plant-Based Diets are Best
When it comes to avoiding metabolic syndrome, eating a plant-based diet can go a long way to help lower the risk. However, most western diets consist of lots of red meat and foods that are fatty and sugary. A poor diet is one of the biggest risks when it comes to developing metabolic syndrome. In order to reduce the risk of developing this syndrome it is recommended to turn to a more
Mediterranean dietary style. This type of diet is heavy on fruits and veggies, legumes, whole grains, and seafood. There is less cheese, meat, sweets, and sugars. This diet plan is very heart-healthy and it also is good for keeping blood sugar levels in check. Following a diet that is more plant-based is recommended if you are at risk for developing metabolic syndrome because of your family history or current weight.
