Adding more fruits and vegetables, while cutting back on sweets and processed foods, can help people with metabolic syndrome — like diabetes — reduce their medication use, says Dr. Hunninghake.
However, the doctor also noted that even if the patient has formed the habit of eating more fruits and vegetables, he or she should not stop taking medication on his or her own.
Dr. Hunninghake points out that a healthy diet in general, especially fruits and vegetables, is key to preventing and controlling disease.
Phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables help control metabolic syndrome – a root cause of many diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, and even cancer.
Professor Mitchell Elkind, Director of Clinical Science at the American Heart Association, also said: Poor nutrition is a major cause of chronic disease globally, including diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, heart attack and stroke, according to the Mirror .
