Abstract

The review is devoted to the topical issues of non-pharmacological treatment of metabolic syndrome, namely, fight against hypodynamia (the mechanism of sanogenetic action of Scandinavian walking) and insulin resistance (the effect of drinking mineral water on normalization of insulin secretion).

These changes contribute to the formation of healthy lifestyle, they are highly effective, increase oxygenation of tissues, improve functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and have a pathogenetically directed effect on all links of metabolic syndrome: abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, violation of carbohydrate metabolism, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, sympaticotonia, arterial hypertension.
