The title of this article is also the title of a new study conducted by Dr. Ray Strand, a family practice physician and an expert in nutritional medicine. The reason for the study was to determine whether a 12-week lifestyle modification program of low-glycemic foods, modest exercise, and nutritional supplementation could reverse symptoms of metabolic syndrome.

The results of this study are very encouraging, as they show that lifestyle modification is very effective in improving cardiovascular and metabolic health:

• Participants lost an average of 13 pounds
• Systolic blood pressure dropped nealy 8 percent; diastolic blood pressure dropped 6 percent
• Total cholesterol  levels dropped 15 percent
• LDL cholesterol levels dropped 17 percent
• Insulin sensitivity increased by 14 percent
• Fasting blood glucose levels declined slightly
