Metabolic syndrome is primarily a nutritional disease caused by eating the wrong type of foods. All systems of the human body are connected and any nutritional damage that affects one system affects the entire body. It does not occur overnight…it is an accumulation of years of starving the body of the essential nutrients that it requires. The body is very forgiving of the self-abuse of nutrient starvation…but the results are seen in the physical appearance and felt in the internal health issues.
