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.

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.

Applying two named strategies show synergistic kind of relationship; each adds to the quality of expected outcome from the other. If this approach strictly followed, its outcome is usually a favorable one with majority achieving nearly complete reverse. For this reason, it has also been described as a treatment for insulin resistance.

Similarly, taking adequate rest serves the same purpose just like above stated components of this treatment. It might be in a form of sleep at night, a nap in the day or simply managing stressing factors in favorable ways. A sleep of up to eight hours in any given night is just adequate to achieve desired effects. Reason behind this is that good rest limits stress related response by the body hence no triggers that increase blood sugar is produced.

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 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 conclusion, all persons should strive to ensure that their body is in good health. This is achievable by utilizing available and readily accessible information on how to stay healthy. Such information might be accessed online or from certified bodies like health facilities. In addition, one can take several tests to verify whether they are or not diabetic. It is a bold step that may be useful in arresting diabetic complications before late.
