Various strategies have been proposed to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome. These include increased physical activity (such as walking 30 minutes every day),<ref>{{cite journal |author=Lakka TA, Laaksonen DE |title=Physical activity in prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome |journal=Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquée, nutrition et métabolisme |volume=32 |issue=1 |pages=76-88 |year=2007 |pmid=17332786 |doi=10.1139/h06-113}}</ref> and a healthy, reduced calorie diet.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Feldeisen SE, Tucker KL |title=Nutritional strategies in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome |journal=Appl Physiol Nutr Metab |volume=32 |issue=1 |pages=46-60 |year=2007 |pmid=17332784 |doi=10.1139/h06-101}}</ref>  There are many studies that support the value of a healthy lifestyle  as above.  However, one study stated that these measures are effective in only a minority of people.<ref name="katzmaryk" /> The International Obesity Taskforce states that interventions on a sociopolitical level are required to reduce development of the metabolic syndrome in populations.<ref>{{cite journal |author=James PT, Rigby N, Leach R |title=The obesity epidemic, metabolic syndrome and future prevention strategies |journal=Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=3-8 |year=2004 |pmid=15167200 |doi=}}</ref>
A 2007 study of 2,375 male subjects over 20 years suggested that daily intake of a pint of milk or equivalent dairy products more than halved the risk of metabolic syndrome.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Elwood |first=PC |coauthors=Pickering JE, Fehily AM |year=2007 |title=Milk and dairy consumption, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome: the Caerphilly prospective study |journal= J Epidemiol Community Health |volume=61 |issue=8 |pages=695-698 |id=PMID 17630368  |url=http://jech.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/61/8/695 |doi=10.1136/jech.2006.053157}}</ref>  Other studies both support and dispute the authors' findings.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Snijder MB, van der Heijden AA, van Dam RM, ''et al'' |title=Is higher dairy consumption associated with lower body weight and fewer metabolic disturbances?
