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.

Insulin is a hormone that, depending on its level, causes diabetes. It is produced in an abdominal organ known as a pancreas and its major role is controlling blood sugars level. The function of this hormone is to assist all tissue cells in attaching glucose particles on their surfaces. This action controls the level of sugars present in blood vessels, and it also enables the cells acquire much needed energy from the breaking down of glucose particles. Insulin resistance occurs when cells become impervious to its effects.

There exist several methods of tackling this problem. Regular exercise is the most preferred method because most victims experiencing this condition are heavy or obese. This is because excess body fats have surplus sugars that signal the pancreas to release extra hormone in order to return its normal levels. By staying inactive, these levels continuously rise to detrimental levels that result in complex health problems.

The victims should also modify and manage well their diets. For a start, diets that are considered high on sugar levels should be scraped from their eating schedules. Diets managed in the approved balance will efficiently exploit the oxidation of sugars in the human body thus resulting in normal levels of insulin and sugar.

Several nutritional supplements work in concert with the healthy diet taken. One should take the initiative of identifying the best supplements available because of their exceptional properties in stabilizing its levels. For example, some processed foods lack chromium therefore other extra sources have to be identified. Chromium is important as it increases cells tolerance to the hormone.

Good handling of stress levels is vital for combating this phenomenon because stress is a condition that can overturn achievements made by other initiatives. It makes the body produce other hormones that disrupt insulin functionality. One should therefore get the necessary professional help to deal with it.

Doctors could also suggest a variety of pharmaceutical drugs to patients suffering from this condition. This is only to be undertaken if the situation escalates to full diabetes so that its symptoms are minimized. Apparently, their side effects cause the patient gain more body weight and it further increases incidences of heart attacks. Fortunately there are new medicines produced which have minimal side effects.

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.
