Ways 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.

Secondly, consuming a good meal can help in reversing this problem. One should steer clear of meals that contain a high glycemic presence. These kinds of meals are loaded with big proportions of processed sugars and fats, and should therefore be shunned. Instead, they should take a balanced meal that contains high fiber, green vegetables, and low natural sugars. These meals assist in a correct metabolism rate and therefore reducing the effects of this syndrome.

Several nutritional supplements work in concert with the healthy diet taken. One should take the initiative of identifying the best supplements available because of their exceptional properties in stabilizing its levels. For example, some processed foods lack chromium therefore other extra sources have to be identified. Chromium is important as it increases cells tolerance to the hormone.

There is a positive correlation between the amount of stress a person has and the level of this medical condition. It is important to contain stressful episodes in order to minimize its effects. Several of its effects are harmful and have a tendency of interfering with a number of organ functionality. Stress causes rapid variations in blood sugars that make the pancreas to retaliate in a wrong way thus becoming spoiled in the process.

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.
