Apply Smart Ways To Help Reverse Insulin Resistance

By Mattie MacDonald


Individuals are always in a continuum between disease and health. Some of the illnesses are chronic while others are acute. Diabetes is an example of a chronic illness. In this case, individuals are not in a position to control their blood sugars and therefore it fluctuates abnormally. One cause of this fluctuation is resistance to usual control mechanism; this far, it has been established that one can reverse insulin resistance by simple interventions like diet and exercise moderation.

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.

Exercise is yet another effective way of reversing chronic fluctuations in blood sugars. This may be possible in two ways; first is by eliminating excess sugars in the blood. During intense exercise, body cells consume much of available sugars through respiration and therefore there is no overload of the vascular system with carbohydrate. Secondly, intense activity promotes consumption of carbohydrates and therefore reduces production of insulin. Over a period of time, insulin levels begin to stabilize.

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.
