Description Metabolic syndrome is a disorder of energy utilization and storage, diagnosed by a cooccurrence
newlineof three out of five of the following medical conditions: abdominal (central)
newlineobesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, high serum triglycerides,
newlineand low high-density cholesterol (HDL) levels. Non-communicable diseases, which
newlineinclude Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, are world s biggest killer diseases,
newlineestimated to cause 3.5 million deaths each year. Eighty percent of them are found in the
newlinelow and middle-income countries. The WHO has developed an action plan for
newlineimplementation of global strategies in prevention and control of non-communicable
newlinediseases. One of the objectives of this plan is to develop simple strategies to identify those
newlineat risks together with appropriate and cost effective interventions.The naturopathic treatment approach frequently includes important dietary and
newlinelifestyle recommendations included in current medical treatment guidelines for diabetes,
newlinehypertension, and hyperlipidemia, although improvements can be made on the precision of
newlinerecommendations. A study shown a naturopathic dietary approach to diabetes appears to
newlinebe feasible to implement among NIDDM patients. The intervention may also improve selfmanagement,
newlineglycemic control, and have influences in other domains of self-care
newlinebehaviors. HbA1c improved by an average of 0.5%, which is clinically meaningful.
