Learning To Reverse Insulin Resistance Could Be Key To Prevent The Onset Of Diabetes

By Lela Perkins


There can be few who have not heard about the threat that diabetes poses to the well being of the nation and the clinical care teams that serve the public. Comparatively few people understand the nature of this disease, its causes, treatment and particularly the importance of producing and regulating the hormone insulin. An increasing number are finding their bodies reject this vital hormone. Thankfully there are ways to reverse insulin resistance.

Insulin is produced within the beta cells of the pancreas and as mentioned is a hormone. Its key function is to regulate the metabolism of fat and carbohydrate in the body. Put simply it facilitates the absorption of glucose, that is not immedi ately consumed through organ function and exertion, by the liver, skeletal muscles and fat tissues. Failure to remove it from the blood would render it toxic. When blood glucose levels drop the body begins to draw on stored glucose again as a source of energy.

Failure of the body to effectively control these levels can result in diabetes. Type 1 diabetics depend on external sources of insulin, normally injected but sometimes in tablet form, because the body has ceased to produce the hormone. Type 2 diabetics differ in that they display resistance to the hormone and often receive other treatments to control blood glucose levels. Sometimes they have to resort back to insulin treatment if these fail. In a nutshell, this hormone makes possible and controls the release of energy within the body at a cellular level and so directly impacts on all bodily functions.

The resistant type condition influences the pancreas to go into over production in an attempt to correct what is thought to be a lack of this hormone. In reality the chemical required reaction to breakdown sugars is not occurring and toxic levels of glucose will accumulate in the blood. Indicators can be excessive fat deposits around the abdomen, cholesterol imbalance, hypertension are often confused with broader heart and circulatory problems.

Obesity arising from inactivity, excessive carbohydrate consumption, and hence more glucose once digested, from excessive junk and processed food all help to complicate and aggravate this condition. Regrettably the downward slide into the restrictive world of type two diabetes is largely avoidable. Proactive lifestyle, dietary choices and naturally occurring supplements can prevent or significantly delay the onset of symptoms.

The weird aspect about human nature is that making life enhancing choices is not hard. Our shops are bursting with high healthy salad greens and vegetables. These foods are low in starch, full of fiber and extremely nutritious. As they have very little sugary compounds in the first place, much of the job is done. Exercise admittedly is going to be more demanding but it can be pleasurable.

Another important part of a healthy diet is quality protein. This assists in producing hormones that influence against producing too much insulin. Sources from fish, soy, poultry and whey are best. Vitamins K, D, E, K as well as naturally occurring antioxidants all help in sorting out sugar levels. And of course, there is the exercise thing again.

In short many of the questions and problems required to be addressed, in order to reverse insulin resistance, are easy to determine and often require little more than will power to implement. Sufferers just need to want to do it.
