Metabolic syndrome: one in 5 Italians suffer from it. A mix of algae helps against hyperglycemia and overweight

One in five Italians suffer from metabolic syndrome and therefore have a high risk of diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver (fatty liver) and cardiovascular diseases in general. Unregulated diet and little physical activity are the main culprits for the greater spread of this syndrome. Good news comes from an all-Italian study just published in the prestigious international journal Journal of Diabetes Research which concerns a mix of two marine algae and chromium that have been shown to have important positive effects on the metabolic syndrome.
