Transcript

Whenever you eat your stomach with digestive juices and enzymes, breaks down the food into nutrients that your body can use when you consume carbohydrates, these are broken down into sugars, or glucose. Your body uses glucose to fuel your cells. And in turn your cells, the mitochondria, the organelles inside your cells create energy for us to live. So when glucose is produced, first of all, it goes into the bloodstream. And they say that the blood sugar or the glucose level of the blood rises. And this is where insulin comes into the picture.

When your pancreas sees that the blood glucose levels are high, it creates an incentive. Have insulin to balance them out again. Insulin is a hormone responsible for pushing the glucose out of your bloodstream and into your cells, where it can be converted into energy. This is what's known as insulin signaling. As your muscles and fat cells pick up the glucose, your blood sugar levels return to normal. Insulin usually does a pretty good job maintaining healthy blood sugar levels in most people.

However, sometimes your cells stop responding to insulin and become what is known as insulin resistant. Insulin resistance is the root of many metabolic diseases, especially type two diabetes. If your cells in your muscles and your liver and other organs stop accepting sugar Then the sugar levels will inevitably rise, the pancreas will try to make more and more insulin. But eventually this becomes very difficult, it becomes worn out. On top of this, because of an unhealthy diet with too many carbs, the pancreas and the cells can become damaged the various cells inside the pancreas, so they're not too efficient anyway, we arrive at a situation where we have high blood sugar levels and high insulin levels, and the doctor may diagnose you with type two diabetes. Doctors often refer to insulin resistance as pre diabetes, because if nothing changes in your lifestyle, or your diet, then eventually you will be diagnosed with type two diabetes.

Having type two diabetes, high blood sugar and being insulin resistance has been correlated with Very serious medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, gout, and fatty liver disease. These are some of the leading causes of death not only in the US, but across the globe. For example, type two diabetes is responsible for approximately 30% of all cancers that are not smoking related. Most people don't even notice that they are insulin resistance. And some of the figures make interesting reading and also the symptoms are generally not related to the disease. 24% of adults over 20 have it He's prevalent in over 70% of obese, overweight women.

33% Of obese kids and teams have insulin resistance. These symptoms you see on the screen are heavily associated with insulin resistance, and thereby may increase your risk of having type one or type two diabetes. You're always hungry with intense sugar cravings and you have a feeling you can't eat enough carbs to feel satisfied. You gain weight easily and you can't seem to lose it, especially around your belly. If you carry a large amount of body weight in your stomach area, despite trying weight loss diets, insulin resistance may be the cause. You may have bloated swollen fingers and ankles due to potassium and sodium in the skin tags or dog discolored parts of the skin in the folds and creases of your neck, armpits fires and groin area or another symptom.

Gum disease can also happen. Since insulin resistance gets worse with the more carbs that you eat, then ketosis may will be the answer for the vast majority of people who want to correct the situation. The keto diet is known for correcting insulin resistance. The average American eats between 235 and 350 grams of carbohydrates every single day. The more carbs you eat, then the greater the level of blood sugar, the greater the level of blood sugar, and the more insulin you have in your body. It's a vicious circle the ketogenic diet He's a high fat, low carb diet.

Instead of eating 300 grams of carbohydrates per day, we restrict the intake to between 25 and 50. But how can the body survive on such a low carb limit? The answer lies in metabolic flexibility. Our body cells are very flexible. They can either burn sugar in the form of glucose, or they can use ketones, which are a product of eating fat. The ketone supply for your body's cells can either come from stored fat within your body and you lose weight or from fat that you eat.

When you remove sugar and carbs from your diet, your body will use up all the extra glucose in your blood. You'll be able to reset your blood sugar levels and insulin levels. Since all the extra sugar floating around in your blood will be gone. After a few days on a very low carb diet as your body starts to run on ketones, it will make less insulin because there is less glucose to handle. This will make your muscles and fat cells more responsive to insulin. That makes the keto diet the perfect insulin resistance antidote.

Clinical research finds that a very low carb high fat keto diet, lowest fasting insulin levels, it normalizes blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity. On top of this, it effectively aids weight loss much more than other low fat diets. Insulin resistance or pre diabetes is a very real problem at the moment is gaining epidemic proportions throughout Western In civilization, this condition can easily be helped and reversed by the ketogenic diet. Just two basic changes in your lifestyle, namely, adopting a ketogenic diet, and exercising daily will free you from the diseases that I just described. Use ketosis to battle insulin resistance and high blood glucose.
