Proper and balanced nutrition is absolutely necessary for proper metabolic health.(Source, NYTimes) The connection between nutrition and metabolic syndrome is studied by Stephen Holt, MD. He offers another metabolic syndrome term- Syndrome X, Y, Z... In his book "Combat Syndrome X Y & Z" by Stephen Holt MD and Julian Whitaker, the authors claim the metabolic syndrome may qualify as the number- one public health problem faced by the Western societies.
In author's proper words, "Metabolic diet tailored to specific weight control targets and objectives consists of: a) Short-term accelerated weight loss with low carbohydrate approach; b) Long-term maintenance with restricted simple sugar, trans-fatty acids and saturated fats, moderate protein intake (1g/Kg) with vegetable protein inclusion, moderate salt intake.

Isaacs and Vagnini (2005) offer a complete and comprehensive nutritional path to a complete metabolic syndrome healing in their book "Overcoming Metabolic Syndrome". Karst (2006) believes that what and how much one eats may provoke the metabolic syndrome appearance (The Metabolic Syndrome Program). According to Kushi & Kushi (1993) the "Macrobiotic diet" is the correct road to final cure of most of the chronic degenerative diseases, such as cancer and metabolic syndrome including.

The right nutritional balance is an essential approach in the prevention and healing of the metabolic syndrome in its early and advanced stages. Consuming meals that include all ingredients is known to benefit the metabolic health, and could add years to people life, according to the U.S. Department of Health. The claim is that five or more daily portions of fruits and veggies may cut risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases. The researchers used data from eight studies in Europe, Japan and the U. S. have identified nearly 40 vitamins and minerals that the body needs for various tasks, from shoring up bones to bolstering the immune system and repairing cellular damage. Instead of delivering predictable effects at particular doses, nutrients team up in complex synergistic ways. (Source, HHS)
On October 10, 2008, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle announced the Wisconsin Genomics Initiative (WGI), which is a collaborative research effort among Marshfield Clinic, Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Their statement is, "The vision of WGI is to be able to predict for individual patients in a clinical setting the risks of disease susceptibility and treatment response using the combined power of cutting edge genetic, phenotypic, and environmental analyzes, thereby making the promise of personalized medicine a reality" (School of Medicine and Public Health, and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee)
The amount, type, balance, and the pharmacokinetic marker "bioavailability" of nutrients are all important in nutrition. It is well known that insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes are all intimately related to nutrition. By selecting nutrition from all four food groups, and by choosing fresh colorful vegetables and fruits, whole grains, rich sources of protein and good (healthy) fats, while avoiding heavily processed food is the way to go. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) published officially its nutrition recommendations and interventions for diabetes that are the same as the metabolic syndrome nutrition recommendations and interventions (ADA, 2007).
"Metabolic syndrome is a phenotypic expression of the genetic code as it interacts with the whole body environment and if someone has a genetic tendency to develop the metabolic syndrome phenotype, he/she will be far more likely to develop this phenotype if overweight, doesn't exercise, consumes a diet high in simple carbohydrates, saturated fats, and doesn't add specific nutrients" believes Steven Joyal MD (Source LEMagazine,2005). The author published a completely new ‘nutriphenotypic' approach, based on the individual phenotypic metabolic characteristic to weight management and obesity. His conclusions are that the ‘phenotypic nutritional approach' enables people to choose dietary strategies and nutrients that influence powerful biochemical and genetic factors to help control the expression of their genetic code to their benefit.
A new allopathic program for metabolic syndrome treatment proposed by Harvard University is already in use by the conventional medicine. A well-balanced diet combined with lifestyle changing approach and daily physical activity to prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome management was established. (Source, Harvard) The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2010) are the main cornerstone of the U.S. Federal nutrition policy and nutrition education activities. (Source, USDA)
Epidemiological data showed that metabolic syndrome is increasing in the State of Wisconsin. The 2nd Annual Diabetes Symposium of Wisconsin (2009) showed that better diagnosis, management, as well as institution of preventative measures can affect these outcomes positively. (Russell A. Wilke, MD, PhD "Obesity...Exploring Management Strategies for a Growing Epidemic") The future of nutrition will be based on the science of nutrigenomics - the study of the effects of foods and food constituents on gene expression.
