Insulin Resistance - The Metabolic Nightmare

2005

 

 

 

On September 5th, 2005, U.S. News and World Report sounded the alarm.

Affecting 70 million Americans, a common disorder known as insulin

resistance can be linked to the biggest killers. This is no coincidence.

 

 

 

Acting as a biological escort service, insulin carries glucose and

other nutrients into the fat and muscle cells to be used as fuel. When

insulin resistance sets in, these cells resist glucose and it remains

in the bloodstream. In response, the pancreas releases more insulin.

 

 

 

The combination of high blood glucose and insulin sets the stage for a

metabolic nightmare. Excess insulin causes the kidneys to retain salt

– hypertension results. Excess insulin cogs the metabolic wheel –

obesity results. Excess glucose catalyzes the production of

artery-damaging and brain-clogging compounds known as advanced

glycated end (AGE) products – heart disease and Alzheimer's disease

result. Excess insulin stimulates cancer growth like gas on a fire –

tumors result. Excess insulin triggers androgen production in women –

infertility results.

 

 

 

The greatest health catastrophe ever recorded, insulin resistance is

projected to cause the first reduction in the average life expectancy

in 200 years. Victims will erase at least 10 years of their lives if

not addressed.

 

Habits create and eradicate disease. And this is especially true for

insulin resistance. A disorder of poor lifestyle and nutrition habits

rather than a rogue virus or bacteria, reversing insulin resistance is

simply a matter of embracing new healthy habits. Once done, insulin

is controlled. Suffering from insulin resistance is nothing more than

a bad dream.

 

 

 

Controlling insulin levels confers other health benefits. Physician

David Katz, Director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale Medical

School, suggests that learning how to regulate insulin could be the

master control of all disease. This includes heart disease,

Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Knowledge of how to reverse insulin

resistance is the long-awaited panacea that Americans have been

searching for.

 

 

 

As of 2005, Americans stand on the threshold of the most sweeping

health revolution in history. For the first time since the rise of

prescription drug tyranny, science has made it abundantly clear that

health freedom can be procured via simple lifestyle habits – not drugs.
