The Need To 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 hormone has everything to do with this phenomenon. Its production is in an intestinal organ called the pancreas and its main purpose is to check the level of blood sugars. This hormone achieves this by chemically enabling body cells to attach glucose on their surfaces. By doing this, the amount of sugars within the blood stream reduces and on the other hand, the cells synthesize energy from the glucose particles. Cells develop this problem when they fail to infuse glucose into their systems.

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.

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.

One should also take appropriate nutritional supplements. These supplements have various remarkable abilities that lower the hormone levels and blood sugars. For example, the Gymnema herb has the ability to aid in the regeneration of cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin. Another example is cinnamon, which has the double advantage of significantly increasing the metabolism of glucose and aiding people in losing weight.

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.

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.

Medical researchers are of the opinion that deeper scrutiny of the activities of this hormone need to be undertaken. Furthermore, new studies show that insulin is one of the most vital chemical within the human body. That said, health complications related to insulin functionality demands closer inspection especially those that mandates the need to reverse insulin resistance in the human body.
