To Successfully Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Eliza Mendoza


Over the years, the medical field has made great achievements that has enabled man overcome various health problems. This has in turn presented a good opportunity for man to focus much attention on complicated health issues. One complicated issue is aptly classified as a health syndrome. If left unchecked it can lead to fully developed type II diabetes and other various diseases. Therefore, to successfully reverse insulin resistance will be an important milestone in ensuring man's well being.

The functions of this hormone within the body have to be fully understood in order to comprehend this problem. First of all, it is a hormone secreted in the pancreas and its purpose is to aid cell receptors capture glucose molecules from the blood stream. The pancreas cells first detect glucose in the blood and then release it so that the body can harness energy from the blood sugars. If this mechanism fails then it is termed as insulin resistance.

A number of efforts can be used to reverse this situation. First, diagnosed people should take on physical exercise so that they can be able to reduce weight. This is because being overweight leads to some fats being deposited in the blood vessels. This leads to a substantial increase in blood sugars further worsening the situation. Exercises also revitalize the cell receptors in performing their functions well.

Secondly, eating of appropriate diet can greatly reverse this condition. One should avoid diets with a high glycemic load. This diet has a bigger percentage of processed sugars and carbohydrates and should be avoided completely. One should instead eat whole foods, that is, a diet that is high on fiber, vegetables, and low in sugars and flours. These foods promote healthy metabolism and thus aiding in undoing the situation.

As a back up to the diet taken, one should take several natural nutritional supplements. Recommended supplements have been known to have several capabilities of restoring balance in insulin and glucose levels. For example, magnesium helps in glucose metabolism but it is usually deficient in obese people. Therefore, intake of magnesium, usually found in green leafy vegetables, should be highly promoted.

Managing stress levels also aids in containing the situation as it plays a big role in blood sugar imbalances. The body releases chemicals that interfere with insulin properties whenever one is stressful. Individual's doctors should therefore prescribe therapy as is required.

As a last measure, individuals should use medications prescribed by their doctors. There are mainly two categories of drugs, which work in different ways. The first helps in lowering blood sugars by making cells more responsive to this hormone. The second reduces absorption of sugar in the intestine thereby reducing its absorption after meals. Rightfully so, new drugs enter the market every day.

These are all preventive methods that should be adapted for the mitigation of the effects stated above. Failure to early reverse insulin resistance leads to difficulties in the protection and saving of lives. This is because diabetes subjects deadly effects to the patients.
