I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

A new study shows that eating a Mediterranean style diet may help with decreasing metabolic syndrome. A Mediterranean style diet is low in dairy, meat, fat, and junk food. It is high in nuts, legumes, fish, olive oil, and wine. These ingredients are high in beta-carotene, tocopherols, polyphenols, vitamin C, and other essential minerals.
1,224 participants with high risk for cardiovascular disease between the ages of 55 and 80 were randomly assigned to one of three groups: group 1 received advice on a low fat diet, group 2received advice on the Mediterranean diet and received 1 liter of virgin olive oil per week, group 3 received advice on the Mediterranean diet and received 30 grams of mixed nuts per day. Participants were then evaluated a year later.
Results show that metabolic syndrome was reduced by 13.7% in group 3, 6.7% in group 2, and 2% in group 1. However, changes in body weight were not found. Triglyceride and blood pressure levels dropped significantly in the group 3 though.
