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.

Insulin is a hormone that, depending on its level, causes diabetes. It is produced in an abdominal organ known as a pancreas and its major role is controlling blood sugars level. The function of this hormone is to assist all tissue cells in attaching glucose particles on their surfaces. This action controls the level of sugars present in blood vessels, and it also enables the cells acquire much needed energy from the breaking down of glucose particles. Insulin resistance occurs when cells become impervious to its effects.

There exist several methods of tackling this problem. Regular exercise is the most preferred method because most victims experiencing this condition are heavy or obese. This is because excess body fats have surplus sugars that signal the pancreas to release extra hormone in order to return its normal levels. By staying inactive, these levels continuously rise to detrimental levels that result in complex health problems.

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.

Medical experts suggest that further inquiry into the functions of the hormone has to be undertaken. This was instigated after some new research revealed that it is one of the most important hormone in the body. Further inquiry is therefore important as the problem causes many deaths even with the current achievements in medicine and technology.
