5 Ways To Decrease Insulin Resistance

5 Ways To Decrease Insulin Resistance

When insulin resistance is building up, your brain has trouble receiving the messages that insulin is trying to get across. This being that your blood sugar levels are too high. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. When we eat, our body releases insulin. So when your brain can’t detect the level of sugar in your blood, it signals your body to keep eating. This can lead to problems like obesity and diabetes.

What Are The Signs ?

There are few symptoms that are associated with a high resistance. But as always you should speak to your doctor for a diagnosis.

• Extreme Hunger Or Thirst
• Feeling Hungry After A Meal
• Frequent Urination
• Tingling Sensation In Hands Or Feet
• Lethargy
• Frequent Infections

How To Reduce Insulin Resistance

• Weight Loss:

Weight loss can significantly improve your sensitivity to insulin. Excess weight, particularly in the belly area, reduces this sensitivity. Weight loss is also linked to a lower risk of diabetes.

• Exercise:

In conjunction with weight loss, exercising for 30 minutes at least 5 days out of a week has been shown to improve sensitivity. Exercise helps move sugar into the muscles for storage and promotes an immediate increase in sensitivity, which can last 2–48 hours, depending on the exercise. Aerobic and resistance training can help increase this sensitivity, but combining them in your workouts seems most effective.

• Diet:

Have more:

• Eating soluble fiber has many health benefits and has been linked to increased insulin sensitivity. It also helps feed the friendly bacteria in your gut.
• Cinnamon could help increase this sensitivity by increasing glucose transport into cells and may even mimic insulin to increase sugar uptake from the bloodstream.
• Drinking more green tea could help increase your insulin sensitivity and overall health.

Have less:

• Artificial trans fats could increase insulin resistance. They are also a risk factor for many other diseases, including diabetes, so they are worth avoiding.
• High intakes of fructose can increase the risk of insulin resistance. Foods that contain high amounts of added sugar are also high in fructose

• Reduce Stress:

Stress affects your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar. It encourages the body to go into “fight-or-flight” mode, which stimulates the production of stress hormones like cortisol and glucagon. These hormones break down glycogen, a form of stored sugar, into glucose, which enters your bloodstream for your body to use as a quick source of energy. Stress hormones also make the body more insulin resistant. Meditation, exercise, and sleep are great ways to help reduce stress.

• Supplements:

Supplements like chromium and magnesium supplements can increase insulin sensitivity. Resveratrol appears to increase insulin sensitivity, particularly among people with type 2 diabetes. There are also products like IGF-1 and Recomp RX that can help manage insulin sensitivity and even promote weight loss.

IGF-1

IGF (or Insulin Growth Factor)  is a hormone that your body makes naturally. It comes mainly from the liver and acts a lot like insulin. IGF helps to control growth hormone secretion in the pituitary gland. It works in conjunction with growth hormone to reproduce and regenerate cells. These hormones also affect how your body metabolizes sugar, or glucose. IGF and insulin can work together to rapidly reduce the level of glucose in your blood. As well as increase levels of protein. If you’re able to increase levels of this protein in your body, you could enhance your ability to build muscle and recover faster from training.

Recomp RX

Recomp RX is a muscle building, fat shredding supplement unlike the others.

The Break Down

Ursolic acid

Ursolic acid is a component of the waxy covering found on fruit and herbs. It also inhibits skeletal muscle atrophy via mRNA expression inhibition.Ursolic acid reduces MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 activity in muscle cells (which associated with muscle breakdown). Ursolic acid may also promotes muscle hypertrophy and promote the expression of insulin and IGF-1 signaling. Ursolic acid also stimulates skeletal muscle Akt activity which stimulates muscle growth and may reduce fat gain. It also exerts some estrogen blocking activity too, which might lead to increased testosterone levels. By increasing bodily energy expenditure, ursolic acid can help promote weight loss.

Banaba Leaf Extract

Banaba is a plant whose leaves are useful for anti-diabetic purposes. These leaves are rich in corosolic acid, which researchers believe is the primary component responsible for the plants glucose-controlling properties. Numerous studies have shown that banana extracts not only improve glucose transportation in the body, but also enhances insulin sensitivity. Banaba leaf extract optimizes the conservation of energy in the body, and may reduces appetite.

SMEDS delivery technology

SMEDS delivery technology (short for Self-Microemulsifying Delivery System) is a combination of several phospholipids derived from Non-GMO Soy Lecithin. This system is used to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of several compounds. Including SMEDS in Recomp RX provides a way to significantly improve ursolic acid bioavailability.
