New Hope for Metabolic Syndrome: How Diet, Seeds, Plants, and Probiotics Could Change the Game
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
This is one of the most comprehensive reviews I’ve seen on metabolic syndrome (MetS). It shows that treating MetS isn’t just about medications—what we eat matters. Researchers found that certain foods like pumpkin seeds, flaxseed oil, berries, walnuts, and olive oil may lower inflammation, improve blood sugar, and reduce fat buildup. They also emphasized the role of gut bacteria, physical activity, and personalized nutrition using tools like metabolomics (blood and urine testing for tiny molecules).
