Nutritional principles for metabolic syndrome

Abstract

The aim. Based on the examination of people with metabolic syndrome, determine the necessary regimen, nutritional principles, and range of foods to prevent the development of complications from the gastrointestinal tract. Mаterials and methods. A narrative review of publications related to changes in risk factors, dietary principles, and the effectiveness of prevention of metabolic syndrome was conducted. The analysis included WHO sources, materials from open databases, and author's data. Results. One of the best ways to prevent metabolic syndrome is a balanced and rational diet. It is clear that in wartime it is difficult to adhere to the principles of healthy eating, especially since there may be a complete or partial lack of food, but we must remember that nutrition affects the psycho-emotional state, the development of new diseases, the exacerbation of existing ones, the reduction of life expectancy and the deterioration of its quality. Conclusions. Metabolic syndrome is a complex clinical and biochemical disease with a high risk of complications. Its prevention in war and emergency situations requires a multilevel, systemic approach, taking into account pathogenesis, comorbidities, psycho-emotional stress, and limited access to resources. But to support the body, it will be enough to follow the principles of nutrition and consume simple foods to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome, as well as its complications.
