INSULIN RESISTANCE

Insulin is an essential hormone in your body that converts glucose in your food to energy you can use.

Insulin Resistance is a condition that prevents this hormone from doing its job effectively. Instead of turning into energy, the glucose turns into fat.

On the surface of your body’s cells there are “insulin receptors”. They respond to insulin by allowing glucose into the cell to be burned as energy. If you have Insulin Resistance, you have less of these receptors, so the system doesn’t work. Your body produces more insulin in its effort to get the cells to respond.

Now you have two problems. On the one hand, you have glucose that isn’t being burned as energy. Instead, your body stores it as fat and you suffer from weight problems. On the other hand, you start producing too much insulin, which can damage your arteries and eventually lead to heart problems.

Insulin Resistance causes of weight problems. But more than that, it threatens your health. Over time, Insulin Resistance can lead to Syndrome X or Metabolic Syndrome. PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
