THE EFFECTS OF INSULIN RESISTANCE ON THE BODY
Turkey Medicals hospital member and Internal Medicine Specialist Prof. Dr. “One of the reasons for the increase in cases of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer is insulin resistance, which occurs with an abundant calorie diet and inactivity,” was said.
Insulin resistance is a condition that usually develops as a result of eating foods with too much sugar and simple carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, rice). It can be defined as a difficulty in exerting the effect of insulin secreted to control sugar in the body. Under normal conditions, the body can control sugar with 1 unit of insulin, while in patients with insulin resistance, the body remains in a state of secreting 2-3 units of insulin. As insulin resistance increases, insulin also increases to maintain sugar control. This means that too much insulin is secreted in the body. Internal Medicine Specialist Prof. Dr. explained the effects of insulin resistance on the body, which is described as the plague of the age, and the ways to deal with this problem as follows.
.
PAY ATTENTION TO WAIST AND BELLY FAT!
High insulin levels are the most common cause of chronic diseases. The people who live the longest are the people who consume the least sugar and have the lowest insulin levels. With insulin resistance, excessive fatness in the abdominal area is paralleled. The thicker the waist, this means that the more insulin the pancreas secretes. Fats that accumulate in the waist and abdomen are more dangerous than fats that accumulate in the hips and thighs. As the waist thickens, the life span becomes shorter.
.
WHAT DOES IT LEAD TO?
Insulin is a hormone that stores fat, which leads to inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. The higher the insulin level, the greater the insulin resistance. Insulin resistance negatively affects the entire hormonal balance of the body. The body loses muscle and becomes fat. The liver is one of the most fatty organs. Since insulin resistance leads to episodes of hypoglycemia, a person feels the need to eat often and in excess, therefore obesity and diabetes develop. At a later stage, cardiovascular diseases and the development of cancer occur. Insulin causes the absorption of sodium from the kidneys. With an increase in fluid and weight, hypertension and heart failure may develop. Magnesium is needed for the secretion of insulin. As a result of excessive secretion of insulin, the magnesium consumed decreases. Low magnesium also leads to contraction of blood vessels and increased blood pressure. Thyroid hormones, cortisol and stress hormones are the most affected hormones. Thyroid functions are impaired, there may be the development of polycystic ovary disease and infertility. Chronic stress increases the level of cortisol in the blood. This condition also leads to waist fat and insulin resistance. In order to prevent insulin resistance and diabetes, thyroid hormones and stress hormones should be normal.
The trick to a healthy life: Insulin sensitivity
Insulin sensitivity Insulin sensitivity is the opposite of insulin resistance. It plays a vital role in living healthy and aging healthy. Not eating too much, being hungry from time to time creates insulin sensitivity and prolongs life. In experiments with mice, it was found that the diseases of mice that starved 2 days a week decreased and their life expectancy increased. Not eating every day after 18.00 and 20.00 in the evening, fasting and sleeping for a period of 12-14 hours rest the body, renews it and leads to insulin sensitivity. Whole grains, vegetables and fruits, low fat, legumes and fiber, magnesium, calcium, chromium, zinc and B vitamins provide insulin sensitivity.
.
HERE ARE THE REASONS
The causes of insulin resistance are:
– Liquid sugary drinks
– Refined carbohydrates
– Sweeteners
– Trans fats
– Omega-6s found in plants such as soy, corn, sunflower
– Chronic infections, bacterial endotoxins
– Environmental toxins (PCB, pesticides)
– Chronic stress
– Saturated fats
– Alcohol (>30 g/day)
– Lack of fiber
– Food sensitivities (eggs, corn, peanuts)
– Food allergies
– Heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, lead)
