Metabolic syndrome is a multifactorial condition characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, representing a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. This review explores the nutritional and metabolic mechanisms underlying the syndrome, focusing on the role of nutraceuticals, dietary interventions, and lifestyle strategies in its prevention and management. Emphasis is given to functional nutrition approaches, including the modulation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic flexibility.
