\"\"<\/a>The Mediterranean Diet works.<\/p>\n

This research is from the Archives of Internal Medicine:<\/a> A traditional Mediterranean diet that includes a healthy serving of nuts each day may help reverse a cluster of risk factors for heart disease.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over 1,200 older adults who followed the diet had lower rates of metabolic syndrome — a clustering of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes and stroke, which includes high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, elevated blood sugar and unhealthy cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

This study also showed that the traditional Mediterranean diet was 7 times better at reducing metabolic syndrome than our theoretical approach (eating a “prudent” low fat diet), especially when you add in the consumption of nuts.<\/p>\n

The findings suggest that the Mediterranean diet can help manage metabolic syndrome, even without weight loss or exercise, the researchers report in the Archives of Internal Medicine<\/em>.
