What Causes Insulin Resistance?

Email

What Causes PCODInsulin 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 women might 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,impairing the vital process whereby glucose passes through the cell membrane to be converted into energy.

Effects of Insulin Resistance

This results in devastating effects:

  • PCOS Is RevesibleThe de-sensitized cell membranel causes the "rejected" insulin to enter the bloodstream 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 membranes' insulin insensitivity, glucose stays in the bloodstream 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.
