NCT ID NCT07354438

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a diet rich in antioxidants—like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes—can lower the risk of metabolic syndrome in adults aged 18 to 45. Metabolic syndrome includes high blood sugar, high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol, and excess belly fat. The 55 participants will follow this special diet, and researchers will measure changes in antioxidant intake and overall metabolic risk. The goal is to see if a simple dietary change can help prevent serious health problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Antioxidant-rich diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that a simple diet change helps reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise the chance of heart disease and diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Diet changes can be hard to stick with, and the effect on long-term health is still uncertain.
