Metabolic Syndrome is the increasingly common constellation of any three of abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol, high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar. It now affects a whopping 25% of all adults in the world. Treating it is important in the prevention of diabetes and heart disease. There may be a simple way to help do that.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids can significantly reduce the risk of heart failure, heart attack, and even death. A new study of 272,000 people adds to growing evidence that these “good fats” are vital for heart health and overall longevity.
A large meta-analysis confirms that eating nuts daily improves cholesterol by lowering LDL and apolipoprotein B, reinforcing nuts’ heart-healthy reputation despite their fatty profile (Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2024).
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale may be especially powerful for lowering blood pressure. In a recent study, just two weeks of cruciferous veggie soup led to greater reductions in blood pressure than other healthy vegetables.
Saffron may do more than spice up your meals—it could help manage metabolic syndrome. A new meta-analysis found that saffron significantly improved long-term blood sugar (HbA1c) and systolic blood pressure compared to placebo.
Garlic isn’t just for flavor—it may help fight high cholesterol. A new meta-analysis found that garlic significantly lowered total and LDL cholesterol, especially in people over 50, while slightly boosting HDL. Garlic oil showed the strongest effect.
