(Newswire.net — 25 June 2013) New York, NY — The website HealthNewsWires.com has released an informative article and video detailing how to increase insulin sensitiviey and avoid the symptoms of insulin resistance through proper diet and herbal supplements.
In a new article and video from HealthNewsWires.com, the author provides important information about insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance. Defining insulin resistance as the body’s inability to process glucose from the bloodstream, the article describes how the body transforms glucose into energy needed by the cells, muscles and organs of the body for normal function. The body’s inability to access glucose in the blood causes increased levels of blood sugar in the body, affects metabolism, and may cause diabetes.
Nearly 35% of adults are considered insulin resistant, a condition that prevents the cells of the body from accessing a ready supply of glucose in the blood. The author describes how this condition is especially problematic when the muscles and cells are non-responsive to the presence of insulin; this causes a significant decrease in the glucose levels in the cells. For many, this condition may not be problematic until the pancreas can no longer meet the increased need for glucose.
Significant medical issues begin to appear when the body’s need for glucose exceeds the ability of the pancreas to create the required amount of insulin, causing the levels of glucose in the blood to increase.
The video explains that science has yet to determine what causes insulin resistance; researchers hypothesized a significant relationship between the condition and being obese, having deposits of adipose around the waist, and lack of physical activity. Recent research has also connected insulin resistance to genetics and family history.
The video also describes ways to address and prevent insulin resistance, including maintaining a healthy weight, following a healthy diet, participating in regular fitness activities and supplementing with herbs and supplements such as Cinnamomum Burmannii, Berberine, Pterocarpus Marsupium, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, R-Alpha-Lipoic-Acid.
