The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is rising in developing
countries and developed countries at such high rates that it is now
considered a worldwide public health problem of pandemic
proportions. Yet its spread can usually be mitigated by diet and
lifestyle behavior. Nutritional Intervention in Metabolic Syndrome
brings together coverage of dietary patterns and dietary components
to create a complete understanding of the mechanisms by which these
diets and components may improve metabolic syndrome. It then
presents information on how to treat MS through lifestyle change
and nutritional intervention. Witten by experts, the book focuses
on diet therapy, nutritional intervention, and oxidative stress in
metabolic syndrome. It presents information on dietary patterns in
metabolic syndrome, including Mediterranean style diets, DASH, and
low calorie diets. The text then provides an understanding of the
physiopathology mechanisms in metabolic syndrome and strategies to
treat these conditions through nutritional intervention. Chapters
cover prevalence of MS, pathophysiology, MS in systemic lupus
erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, gene-nutrient interactions,
MS in adolescents and children, lifestyle change and physical
activity, and various effects of dietary components in MS. Research
studies examining food groups are important, and there is a trend
in the literature to verify the relationship between dietary
patterns and cardiovascular risk factors. However, studies
examining dietary components, such as olive oil, soy-based
products, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, berries, whole grains,
nuts, dairy foods, tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages are also
important. The coverage of both in this book gives you an
understanding of the pathophysiology underlying MS that you can use
to develop strategies to prevent and treat these conditions through
nutritional intervention.
