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.

Stress has been shown to be bad for people, and research proves that a heightened state of tension can disrupt normal hormonal balance. The response to insulin, which causes cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream, is lowered when the whole body is under stress of any kind. Those who try to juggle the demands of their work and their family, or those who suffer from isolation and loneliness, should learn and use stress-relieving techniques.

One great stress reliever, and another important tool in the battle against diabetes, is regular exercise taken outdoors. Both mental and physical health is improved by fresh air, physical movement, and interaction with nature. Muscles that are toned burn calories more efficiently than flab, and increased circulation on a regular basis boosts total health.

Weight control, which is vital to anyone who wants to avoid adult on-set diabetes, is linked to regular exercise. Those who can't walk freely have a hard time keeping the pounds at bay or getting them off once they've piled on. Since obesity is the single greatest cause of the problem of insulin imbalance, staying close to your ideal weight is important.

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.

There you have it. Limit portions, choose foods wisely, get lots of regular outdoor exercise, and don't let life stress you out. Keep your weight under control, break the sugar addiction, and get off the couch! Supplements like chromium (a trace mineral) and bitter melon (an herb) can help restore and maintain stable blood sugar levels. You can stay or get healthy with sensible, natural methods.
