Insulin balance in our bodies is a most remarkable process, we eat carbohydrates which turns to sugar in the blood stream. Our pancreas releases insulin so blood sugar can be transferred into every cell giving you energy. Insulin resistance is when the cell becomes resistant to insulin and doesn’t allow the sugar to be transported properly. As a result you can experience:
- Fatigue
- Sugar Cravings
- Inability to Lose Weight
- Constant Hunger
- Fatigue after Meals
- Migrating Pains and Aches
Contributing factors in insulin resistance are:
- High Stress
- Poor Food Choices
- Lack of Exercise
- Not Knowing The Right Supplements
Today with a fast food place on every corner and everyday mounting stress it is easy to see that over 35% of the population experiences insulin resistance to some degree. Insulin resistance has become a contributing factor to poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular disease, obesity and certain types of cancer.
