Insulin resistance is a condition that occurs when your body has trouble using insulin effectively to absorb and utilize blood sugar. Normally, your body releases insulin to help keep your blood sugar in balance, helping your cells absorb and process glucose in your bloodstream. With insulin resistance, this system doesn’t work the way it should—your cells don’t respond properly to insulin, and your body produces more and more insulin to compensate. At some point, if your body can’t keep up with the insulin production required to deal with the level of blood sugar in your body, it can cause a dangerous buildup of blood sugar that can increase your risk of serious disease. Insulin resistance is commonly tied to being sedentary, to being overweight or carrying excess weight around the mid-section, and to eating a diet high in sugars and refined carbohydrates. Fortunately, insulin resistance can be reversed—lifestyle changes can make all the difference and ultimately put you on the path to better health. Once your blood sugar levels are normalized, you can experience improved energy and the ability to live life on your own terms again. Read more…
