Insulin Resistance-The Hidden Root Behind the Poor Health and Excessive Body Fat Accumulation
Insulin controls how your body dells absorb nutrients from the food you eat. If its functions are impaired this causes Poor Nutrient Absorption and Incomplete Burning of the Calories
Insulin is among the most crucial hormone existing in your body.
The pancreas is a gland organ, placed at the abdominal, that produces and releases that hormone in the bloodstream along with other necessary enzymes and hormones.
Insulin participates in many body functions, but the primary one is to control how your cells accept the sugar from your blood using it for energy.
And when insulin sends a message to your cells that there’s fuel for them and your cells respond by accepting the glucose from your bloodstream, you get the energy you need.
There is NO SURPLUS because the energy, calories, glucose no matter how you name it, has been absorbed by the cells.
But when insulin signals that fuel is coming, but your cells do not open up to receive this fuel(glucose), your pancreas tries to compensate this by making more and more insulin, and the insulin levels rise higher.
Your body and your cells cannot respond well to the insulin signals – they resist them, or cannot “hear” them at all.
The sugars can’t enter the cells starting to accumulate in the bloodstream promoting high blood sugar levels.
The unprocessed sugar in your blood cannot be used. It is a SURPLUS which leads to the above-mentioned health and weight complications.
That forces your pancreas to compensate by making more and more insulin.
Over the months and years, your pancreas can no longer keep pace with the demand for more and more insulin.
Then, years after insulin resistance silently has begun – you may start receiving more often blood sugar spikes, and you may develop prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance often linked to two conditions and usually predisposes a person to develop hyperinsulinemia and type 2 diabetes as the pancreas begins to shut down and no longer produces enough insulin to control blood sugar levels.
How Dangerous is IR?
Insulin Resistance causes CLOGGING of your METABOLIC ENGINE leading to POOR metabolism, LOWERED energy levels, and HIGH body toxicity
Insulin resistance appears to be in the root of the already epidemic spread of overweight and obesity among the population.
Approximately 87 million American adults are with prediabetes, and 30-50% are at risk of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes – these are not the only threats posed by insulin resistance.
IR is a condition that is in THE ROOT OF POOR HEALTH, making you weak and exhausted, with lower vitality but with increased levels of oxidative stress, inflammation, and glycation – factors that would end you to early aging.
IF YOU NO TAKE ACTIONS, it will progress to severe health complications like:
- diabetes
- metabolic syndrome
- cardiac problems – doubles your risk for heart attack and stroke
- osteoarthritis
- non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- cancer
- risk of Alzheimer’s disease – there is research that has found a strong association between insulin resistance and memory function decline.
It is important to emphasise – IR is a primary reason for unsuccessful weight loss attempts for many people.
Without overcoming the insulin resistance, your efforts to drop pounds would be in vain.
The essential first step for that should be the carbs restriction in your diet.
And worse is that to some degree appears to be hard to perform, since carbs form a large part of our daily menu, and many people are addicted to them, without knowing how harmful this can be.
How IR Develops?
The driving forces promoting insulin resistance include:
- excess body weight
- poor eating habits
- too much belly fat
- poor sleep
- high stress levels
- a lack of exercise
- smoking
- ethnicity and genetic
- age
How old you are is also affects whether your body can metabolise the sugar well, due to the inevitable hormonal changes that occur in the middle age.
Remember, with age, your insulin sensitivity steadily decreases.
And if you aim for HIGH HEALTH STANDARDS – that include high energy, lean and toned muscles, the perfect weight, excellent sleep, mental strength, and great sex drive – then you should take care to improve your blood sugar & insulin sensitivity.
Knowing Insulin Resistance Symptoms Will Encourage You to Undertake Necessary Preventive Action
- Frequent urination.
- Extreme hunger and thirst (feeling hungry even after a meal).
- Weight gain, especially on your mead section
- Fatigue – often feeling more tired than usual.
- High triglyceride levels(bad cholesterol) and low HDL (good cholesterol)
- High blood pressure.
- High blood sugar.
- Frequent infections.
- You develop dark skin spots.
- Heart complications
Being more educated and responsible for that topic would drive you to take the right actions regarding your diet regime and lifestyle.
Despite it is an insidious condition, you definitely can start to improve blood sugar and optimize your Insulin sensitivity successfully.
