 Insulin
Resistance has many factors that contribute to its presence in the body.
In essence, our environment and lifestyles have evolved too rapidly for
our bodies to keep pace. We are still genetically "wired" to
thrive on the entrenched habits of our ancestors who consumed different,
nutrient-rich foods, a diet low in carbohydrates and also sustained greater
levels of movement and exercise.
Some people may also have a genetic predisposition to Insulin Resistance.
Others develop Insulin Resistance through unhealthy lifestyles.
Over time, the above factors have damaged the complex ability of our bodies'
cells to properly utilize insulin to convert glucose to energy. Unhealthy
diets cause the pancreas to overproduce insulin that overwhelms the cell
reducing its sensitivity to insulin and impairing the vital process whereby
glucose passes through the cell wall to be converted into energy.
This results in devastating effects:
-
 The
de-sensitized cell wall causes the "rejected" insulin to
enter the blood stream where it causes a variety of conditions including
unbalanced hormones such as in PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and
Cardiovascular Disease.
- Unable to enter the cell because of the wall's insulin insensitivity,
glucose stays in the blood stream and is converted to fat, leading
to weight gain which can result in obesity.
- Eventually many health-related functions fail and cause numerous
serious diseases besides PCOS, such as the cluster of increased risk
for a heart attack or stroke called Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X)
and Pre-Diabetes, which if neglected, can lead to Type 2 Diabetes.
