Weight loss can reverse metabolic syndrome; controlling portion size and eating a low-glycemic diet can reduce weight. Your ongoing diet should be low in saturated fats and total calories; largely vegetarian; and rich in good fats like olive oil, proteins from foods like poultry, fish, wild game, unroasted nuts; and vegetable sources like any non-GMO (foods that are not genetically modified) soy foods.
Hide the salt shaker. Make sure your sodium intake is no higher than 2,300 mg (about one tablespoon of salt, total) or less a day -- or even lower to 1,500 mg if you already have high blood pressure or if you're in a high-risk group like middle-aged or older adults, or African Americans. Lowering your daily sodium by even a small amount could drop your pressure by 2 to 8 mmHg.
- Cut down on caffeine and alcoholic beverages.
- Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.
- Don't skip breakfast. You'll end up loading up on calories that won't get burned off by the end of the day.
