Apply Smart Ways To Help Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Mattie MacDonald


Chronic illnesses form part of the most challenging types of diseases to treat; some being incurable while others can be managed sufficiently using available curative drugs. Diabetes is one such chronic illness and it has multiple causes. Two major causes are stated as resistance to insulin produced while the other is insufficient production of insulin from islet cells of pancreas. Scholars have done much research and have this far proven that it is possible to reverse insulin resistance.

Consumption of high amounts of carbohydrates is the primary factor which results to high sugars in vascular system. A precise way to prevent this from occurring is therefore by simply by avoiding or limiting intake of related food components. Instead of these sugar rich foods, one who is a victims of such resistance should eat more fatty and protein rich food. If carbohydrates must be eaten then they have to be taken in the least possible quantities and gradually.

A second strategy is exercise. By performing adequate exercise, an individual burns the excess of carbohydrate in vascular system. This has the effect of controlling its concentration. In such activity times, body cells take up and utilize much of the free sugars thereby limiting its levels in circulation. In addition to this, exercise has been demonstrated to limit adrenalin production from the adrenalin cortex. This prevents the high release of triglycerides by liver and consequently controls the disease.

It is worthy to note that the above two components are synergistic. Withdrawing sugar rich food from diet and regular exercise concurrently is very efficient in managing this condition. In addition, exercise serves to control autonomic nervous system hence stopping adrenal glands from releasing adrenalin. This hormone adrenalin is responsible for release of triglycerides into the blood stream, an activity which leads to rise of blood sugar.

Rest is a way of relieving stress and promoting comfort. A stress free body is relaxed and therefore does not produce stress related autonomic system response which would otherwise lead to release of more sugar into circulation. Such rest may be achieved by having a good sleep of not less than eight hours a day. Similarly, one may take a nap in the day and manage stressing factors appropriately.

Better still, it has been proven that nutritional deficiency contributes to this resistance. Most important among the involved food components are vitamin B6, glut-amine and chromium. If need be, these components should be supplemented to reduces occurrence of resistance in the population. Other food components and or nutrients include manganese, magnesium and vitamin B group among many more.

In line with the above mentioned practices, individuals should also make it their responsibility to avoid intake of substances which trigger release of triglycerides. These substances might originate from drugs of abuse or food substances. They include: smoking, drinking alcohol and also consumption of caffeine.

In summary therefore, all persons should make it their responsibility to remain healthy. This should be the case whether one has been diagnosed with such resistance or not. Even with the disease, one possibly leads a comfortable life and even restores self to a previous healthy state by following simple lifestyle guides. Quality life is an asset that all people should access in whichever way possible and not even diabetes should take it away.
