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.

Several ways are on hand in tackling this syndrome. Firstly, affected people should undertake fitness programs that will help them in reducing weight. This is because an overweight person has concentrated fats stored in blood vessels. This causes a significant rise in sugar levels therefore exacerbating the condition. Physical activities aid in rejuvenating cell structures so that they work at full capacities.

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.

Some naturally occurring nutritional supplements are equally important as the diet to be taken. Suggested supplements have a history of being capable to restore the balance in insulin and blood sugar levels. Magnesium, for instance, aids in sugar oxidation but it is regularly lacking in obese patients. Thus, eating magnesium rich food like fresh and green vegetables should be highly recommended.

There is a positive correlation between the amount of stress a person has and the level of this medical condition. It is important to contain stressful episodes in order to minimize its effects. Several of its effects are harmful and have a tendency of interfering with a number of organ functionality. Stress causes rapid variations in blood sugars that make the pancreas to retaliate in a wrong way thus becoming spoiled in the process.

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.
