Health Tips To Assist Individuals Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Mattie MacDonald


Inability to properly control blood sugar is the root cause of diabetes. This is a chronic illness which comes in many forms and types. It may arise as a result of insufficient insulin hormone production or due to resistance against produced hormone. In this case, the discussion focuses on management of resistance. This is observed in type two kind of diabetes. Scholars have now verified that there are simple and efficient strategies to reverse insulin resistance.

The first strategy involves eating habit. When sugar rich diet is consumed, there is usually a sudden rise in blood sugar promoting release of insulin to control it. When this fails as in cases of resistance, sugar in blood becomes chronically high. To avoid this, one therefore needs to consume much of protein and fatty food and stay away from carbohydrates. This effectively assists in manning blood sugars.

A second lifestyle practice for persons with this problem is engaging self in exercise. A rigorous exercise is equally a remedy for high blood sugars. This is because physical activity promotes or rather enhances respiration and consequently consumption of excess vascular carbohydrates. On a similar note, there is reduced production of insulin as result of reduced blood sugars. Reduction in levels of this sugar regulating hormone therefore makes the body more sensitive to remaining little amount of insulin. With time, a balance is reached and sugar level is controlled.

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.

Adequate nutritional is medicinal and has been shown to be the primary cause of certain diseases when remarkable alterations occur. For this particular condition in question, necessary elements include vitamin B6, chromium and glut-amine. Any imbalance in either intake or utilization of these substances leads to insulin resistance. There are other elements and or food nutrients that may cause similar effects if not taken in the diet to a level that cause deficiency.

In addition to above mentioned strategies, avoiding some other substances that stimulate production of triglycerides is necessary. These may include and are not limited to alcohol, tobacco smoke and caffeine.

In summary maintaining good health is essential and all persons should make their responsibility to achieve acceptable standards of health. On a similar note, it is worth noting that people can easily maintain or restore health simply by adjusting their lifestyle. It may sound difficult but worth doing. For instance, a person who is diabetic and also alcoholic must stop drinking alcohol and choose good health. Otherwise, even the use of drugs to control this disease may not bear any fruit.
