Metabolic syndrome is a group of disorders that includes abdominal obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol. Nowadays it is a worldwide health problem. Approximately 20% to 30% of the adult populations are affected by this problem. Gradually this number is increasing because of poor lifestyles especially regarding dietary pattern, physical inactivity, stressful life and rapid urbanization. Often these conditions are managed by pharmacological treatment; however, this is not enough in controlling this syndrome. Thus, Ayurveda can play a significant role to prevent this syndrome by following particular conducts like dietary regulation, daily regimen, seasonal regimen, pancha-karma and yoga therapy. Among them dietary regulation is very important factor for the prevention of metabolic syndrome and that is more emphasized in different Ayurvedic classics in many years ago.
