Using Holistic Methods To Achieve Insulin Resistance Reverse

By Pamela Hall


Modern society has some illnesses that can have serious consequences. However, many can be handled with lifestyle changes and dietary discipline. The onset of Type II diabetes is one of these. Insulin resistance reverse is not hard, if the person who is afflicted with this metabolic disorder is willing to address the issues that can contribute to this problem, which is a precursor to diabetes.

Researchers say that there is a genetic propensity for this disorder. This simply means that some people are more prone to it than others, not that it is inevitable. People who have family members with diabetes need to pay close attention to things that increase the risk of developing the disease: improper diet, a sedentary lifestyle, and too much worry.

These are leading factors that contribute to cellular resistance to the absorption of the hormone and a corresponding increase in pancreatic secretions of it. Insulin regulates blood glucose levels by signalling the cells to absorb this nutrient; if the cells' response is sluggish, the pancreas secretes more of the hormone. Stress is a major factor in hormonal disruption, so care must be taken by those who juggle family and work, who suffer from loneliness or depression, and who are under undue tension.

One thing that has been proved over and over to be beneficial is regular outdoor exercise. People are designed to connect with nature, as well as with others. Muscle tone is important, too, since muscle tissue burns calories more efficiently than flab. Exercise improves circulation, and increased blood flow makes the whole body work better. Mental health is also improved when people get up and out.

Weight control, which is made possible by good food choices and regular physical activity, is vital to keeping diabetes at bay. People who are unable to walk freely need to find an alternative way to work their muscles. Obesity is probably the single greatest cause of insulin resistance and adult diabetes, and overweight is a national epidemic in America.

This brings us to the daily diet. People who eat 'empty calories', another term for junk food, inevitably gain weight and suffer impaired health. High-carbohydrate foods full of altered fats and sugars actually deplete many more nutrients than they contain. This also leaves less room for the whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber foods that we need to nourish our bodies.

Eating too much, even if the food is good, is another problem. People get used to restaurant-sized portions and consume more calories than they can burn. Even if they avoid bad fats and too much sugar, they may eat too much protein. The body will actually convert excess protein into glucose, so the excess will be stored as fat. Anything, even water, can be a negative if it is consumed in excessive amounts.

If you are diagnosed with insulin resistance, try changing your diet, giving up your sedentary lifestyle, losing weight, and getting more relaxation before you accept a prescription drug. Supplements can help keep your blood sugar stable; chromium is an important trace mineral, and bitter melon is one herb known to be effective. Digestive enzymes can help you digest fiber foods, which can cause problems at first for those used to a processed diet.
