Misdiagnosis of metabolic syndrome is common. It's a collection of conditions that get listed under the same name. This includes obesity in the core area, hypertension, high triglycerides and low HDL. It's generally a result of years of bad dieting and neglecting the body. It's bad on its own, but it can cause or worsen other conditions too—heart disease and diabetes in particular. Omega-3 acids can help you combat this dangerous condition. These fatty acids increase insulin resistance and decrease the risk factors for heart conditions.
