Metabolic syndrome or syndrome X is closely linked to a condition called insulin resistance and to obesity and inactivity. It is associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Its prevalence increases with age. It is thought to be caused by an underlying disorder of energy utilization and storage. Foods such as dry fruits, oats, barley, lentils, and brown rice can help improve this condition.
