How To Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Eliza Mendoza


Health problems that are preventable are difficult to treat and manage once they develop into more advanced stages. Today, the society faces an unprecedented amount of obese people at risk of contracting advance forms of diabetes. This is because most obese people already suffer from a syndrome called reverse insulin resistance. This syndrome is a precursor to diabetes. Therefore, it is of vital importance that preventive efforts that will reverse the phenomenon be adapted.

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.

There are a number of ways to undo this phenomenon. Physical exercise is the most recommended way as most people suffering from this condition are overweight or obese. This is because excess fat tissue has excess glucose within and this leads the pancreas to produce excess amounts of the hormone in order to counter balance it. If they stay inactive, these levels continue to increase resulting in the health issues stated above.

Following this, individuals should watch the type of diet they take as it also carries great weight in fighting the issue. Foods that are highly processed and those that have many sugars are to be blacklisted in their menu. Instead, a diet that contains the right assortment of nutrients responsible for several functionality in the body's metabolism should be encouraged.

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.

One should also be able to minimize the situations that increases stress levels . The efforts to reverse this phenomenon risks failure if the individual fails to contain stress. This is because stress causes the release of hormones that highly inhibits its effects on the cells. This has the opposite effect of increasing blood sugars.

There exists over the counter drugs that reverses this condition albeit in the short term. Acquisition of these drugs is easy and, with the direction from the physicians, can easily be self administered. Given the complexity of insulin in the body, these drugs pose some risk in their use. For example, some patients gain more weight when they use them. They should therefore be used as a last measure in combating insulin resistance.

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.
