❤️Insulin - what is insulin?
Insulin is a hormonal response that occurs in the body when eating. Insulin helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels by converting excess carbohydrates into fat, but when this becomes inefficient, it leads to weight gain, fat storage, diabetes etc…
❤️Insulin Resistance:
Insulin resistance occurs when your body's cells become less responsive to insulin, causing a lack of cellular blood sugar uptake, resulting in higher-than-normal blood glucose levels.
❤️What causes insulin resistance?
☑️Hormonal Imbalance – Conditions like PCOS are known factors for developing insulin resistance
☑️Inflammation – chronic inflammation – this can be caused by poor diet, alcohol, processed foods and industrial seed oils
☑️Poor Diet: eating a diet high in processed foods, sugars, unhealthy trans fats can spike blood sugar levels contributing to insulin resistance.
☑️Lack of Physical Activity: a sedentary lifestyle reduces muscle mass and impairs glucose uptake into cells, leading to increased demand for insulin production
☑️ Frequency of eating (constant fueling)
