Abstract:

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) poses a significant health risk in developed countries like the United States, linked to poor diet, inactivity, aging, and genetic factors. It increases the likelihood of serious health issues, such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and cognitive impairment.

Preventing MetS is vital; this review focuses on natural methods to improve health by enhancing gut health, adopting healthier dietary choices, and incorporating functional foods, supplements, and herbs. These practical and cost-effective approaches target individuals without underlying endocrine disorders, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management.
