Insulin resistance

Anytime you eat carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, chips, pastries, beer, pasta, rice and sweets), they are converted into sugar by your body during digestion. In order to use the sugar, your body then releases a hormone called insulin required by your cells to convert the sugar into energy.

The modern diet is primarily comprised of carbohydrates or refined sugar, and, over time, your cells start to be insensitive to your own insulin due to this abundance. In other words, your cells start to resist your own insulin and therefore, your body has to produce more insulin to get the same job done. Left untreated over time, your over-production of insulin will reach chronic levels.

Without this natural balance the insulin being resisted signals your body to store sugar as fat, this shifts your metabolism into the fat saving mode. That's the reason why millions of people keep gaining back weight from fat. You become tired and hungry and eat even more making you even more insulin resistant!

Insulin resistance causes excessive levels of sugar and insulin in your blood stream. Both sugar and insulin are destructive in excessive quantities, and have the effect of accelerating the aging process itself as well as contributing to heart disease, organ failure, and many other negative side effects.

Insulin resistance facts

• Insulin resistance inhibits the body from releasing fat for energy.

• Insulin resistance tells your body to store fat constantly.

• Insulin resistance causes salt retention and contributes to high blood pressure, which can lead to heart failure.

• Insulin resistance tells the liver to make more cholesterol, leading to heart disease.

• Insulin resistance speeds up your aging process, as more stress is placed on the body
