Try Holistic Methods To Achieve Insulin Resistance Reverse

By Pamela Hall


Adult on-set diabetes is a serious problem which starts when the body becomes less responsive to the hormone insulin, which it produces as part of normal metabolism. Although this condition, (insulin resistance), can be addressed with medication, it makes more sense to try holistic measures first. Insulin resistance reverse is possible with a comprehensive program of stress reduction, exercise, diet, and weight control.

There seems to be a genetic component to developing this condition, which involves a disruption in the proper release and response to insulin. However, this does not mean that a person is going to get this disorder, merely that their risk of developing it is higher than normal. If there is a history of diabetes in your family, you need to be even more strict about things like what you eat and how you spend your time.

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 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.

As you can see, this is becoming a total health regime. Weight control is vital to anyone in danger of insulin imbalance. Exercise is key to proper weight control; those who cannot walk or do more strenuous physical activity have a much harder time controlling their weight. Obesity is perhaps the greatest risk factor for developing adult-onset diabetes.

This, of course, also depends on paying attention to diet. Eating lots of junk foods, which are also called 'empty calories', is unhealthy and sure to lead to weight gain. High-carb foods made with sugar, salt, and altered fats takes nutrients from your body when they are digested, and this kind of food adds little if anything of value. Sugar can be a serious addiction, which pushes out good foods like vegetables, fruit, and whole grains.

Many people also eat when they're not hungry, as well as eating too much at mealtimes. Consuming more calories than you can burn leads to obesity, digestive problems, and hormonal imbalances. The body converts many things to glucose, including starches (like bagels) and excess protein. Even water can have a negative impact if consumed in excess.

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.
