Manage Metabolic Syndrome with Lifestyle Changes

Management of metabolic syndrome primarily relies on lifestyle changes rather than medication, as there is no specific drug for it. While individual risk factors like blood pressure can be treated with medication for high-risk patients, many can benefit more from lifestyle adjustments. A low-carb Mediterranean diet is advocated for heart disease patients, supported by research indicating that coronary artery disease is a chronic inflammatory condition. This can be addressed through dietary changes that reduce inflammation, with an emphasis on the importance of understanding insulin resistance and chronic inflammation in treating heart disease.
