The Reasons To Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Lisa Williamson


In the past decades, the medical industry has made huge steps that has enabled man trounce different health diseases. This has given rise to much needed time for researchers to concentrate on tackling new health issues. One complex health problem is insulin resistance also categorized as a health syndrome. When left unimpeded it can cause a full type II diabetes and other related diseases. Therefore, steps needed to reverse insulin resistance will provide a platform for tackling diabetes.

The roles of insulin in the human body have to be explained so that the syndrome is understood. In simple terms, it is a chemical produced inside the pancreas and its role is to help tissue cells grab sugar components from the blood vessels. The pancreas has censor cells that detect sugar levels in blood levels and then responds by secreting insulin for the body to be able to produce energy from the sugars absorbed. Resistance happens when the cells become unable to absorb sugars.

The above phenomena and its consequences can be undone in several ways. The most obvious one is that the affected person should get physically fit by undertaking rigorous activities. This has positive results in that the person looses body fats by oxidation thereby loosing excess sugar in the blood is thus making cells be responsive to insulin effects.

Another way is that people should control the type of food eaten as it is also important in tackling this syndrome. Foods that have undergone several processing and those that contain high sugars should be avoided. The ideal diet should have the right mixture of nutrients that aid the body in healthy metabolism.

Some naturally occurring nutritional supplements are equally important as the diet to be taken. Suggested supplements have a history of being capable to restore the balance in insulin and blood sugar levels. Magnesium, for instance, aids in sugar oxidation but it is regularly lacking in obese patients. Thus, eating magnesium rich food like fresh and green vegetables should be highly recommended.

Good handling of stress levels is vital for combating this phenomenon because stress is a condition that can overturn achievements made by other initiatives. It makes the body produce other hormones that disrupt insulin functionality. One should therefore get the necessary professional help to deal with it.

A number of easily available drugs are recommended for alleviating the effects of this medical condition. These drugs are initially prescribed by doctors and are later self administered. However, their use has harmful effects if used for a long time because of its interference in the hormone's production. In some occasions, several patients experience additional weight. It should be used as a desperate and last tactic in combating the syndrome.

The measures described are not a cure to the ailment but are just preventive measures. Diabetes cannot be cured but it can be prevented by following the right steps. Understanding this concept leads to most lives being saved.
