Steps Needed To Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Lisa Williamson


Preventable medical conditions are hard to manage and control once they are allowed to make the transition into advanced stages. Nowadays, most societies are experiencing a rise in the number of obese patients at risk of developing advance diabetes. A good number of obese patients are presently suffering from metabolic syndrome which leads to diabetes. Therefore, it is important that preventive measures be devised in order to reverse insulin resistance because diabetes cannot be cured.

The roles of insulin in the human body have to be explained so that the syndrome is understood. In simple terms, it is a chemical produced inside the pancreas and its role is to help tissue cells grab sugar components from the blood vessels. The pancreas has censor cells that detect sugar levels in blood levels and then responds by secreting insulin for the body to be able to produce energy from the sugars absorbed. Resistance happens when the cells become unable to absorb sugars.

The above phenomena and its consequences can be undone in several ways. The most obvious one is that the affected person should get physically fit by undertaking rigorous activities. This has positive results in that the person looses body fats by oxidation thereby loosing excess sugar in the blood is thus making cells be responsive to insulin effects.

Another way is that people should control the type of food eaten as it is also important in tackling this syndrome. Foods that have undergone several processing and those that contain high sugars should be avoided. The ideal diet should have the right mixture of nutrients that aid the body in healthy metabolism.

Some naturally occurring nutritional supplements are equally important as the diet to be taken. Suggested supplements have a history of being capable to restore the balance in insulin and blood sugar levels. Magnesium, for instance, aids in sugar oxidation but it is regularly lacking in obese patients. Thus, eating magnesium rich food like fresh and green vegetables should be highly recommended.

There is a positive correlation between the amount of stress a person has and the level of this medical condition. It is important to contain stressful episodes in order to minimize its effects. Several of its effects are harmful and have a tendency of interfering with a number of organ functionality. Stress causes rapid variations in blood sugars that make the pancreas to retaliate in a wrong way thus becoming spoiled in the process.

The last course of action is using medications prescribed by doctors. There exist two types of medicines, which function in two distinct ways. The first aid in reducing blood sugar levels by making cells to be more responsive to insulin. The second curtails assimilation of glucose in the intestine thereby decreasing its absorption after eating. Several medications are introduced in the market at all times.

Medical experts suggest that further inquiry into the functions of the hormone has to be undertaken. This was instigated after some new research revealed that it is one of the most important hormone in the body. Further inquiry is therefore important as the problem causes many deaths even with the current achievements in medicine and technology.
