Patients suffering from schizophrenia have a higher risk of premature death. An unhealthy lifestyle contributes to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes, suicides among them. In addition to the use of selected therapy with a restriction metabolic risk has become important to influence non-pharmacological factors such as proper diet, introducing the principles of a healthy lifestyle. A diet rich in fiber, the DASH diet, the Mediterranean diet may become beneficial in terms of lowering parameters metabolic, cardiovascular and immune related to premature mortality in schizophrenia.
