To Successfully Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Eliza Mendoza


The need to reverse insulin resistance as a medical syndrome, has never reached such heights as it does today. This is because a great number of people who are diabetic are already showing symptoms of this phenomenon. This is a disturbing trend because this syndrome is usually a precursor of type II diabetes and related diseases. Therefore, ways of reversing it have a potentially great preventive value.

Insulin resistance, also known as metabolic syndrome, is a physiological condition that arises when body cells fail to respond to the natural effects of the hormone insulin. Its main function is to help body cells absorb glucose from the blood stream for the synthesis of energy. If the cells fail to do this, the hormones level in the blood increases and so does the amount of glucose. This leads to life threatening diseases like type II diabetes.

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.

Affected people should change and carefully program their diets. First, intakes of foods that have a reputation of high sugar levels should be avoided at all costs.Consuming a balanced diet will efficiently maximize the burning of glucose in an individual's body therefore bringing the desired balance of this hormone and glucose levels.

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.

Lastly, doctors should simply recommend various pharmaceutical drugs to these patients. Obviously, it should be used as the last resort because drugs treat the symptoms instead of the cause. They also pose more threat to the individuals by subjecting them to more weight gain and high risk of heart failures. However, new drugs are produced currently that have less of these effects.

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.
