ADVICE FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE - Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance affects all types of people and is not exactly the same in everyone, but the ultimate consequences can be similar. Most people who are afflicted have extra fat around the middle. You may be tall or thin, short or fat, or any combination and still have insulin resistance. This is not a genetic defect, an error in our development; it is simply an outcome of the fact that we have strayed from eating in harmony with our genetic makeup. In other words, we do not fit into our genes. 

 Here is what too much insulin really does to your body and health:
As long as your insulin levels are high you will fight a losing battle against weight loss. Insulin acts on your brain to increase appetite, specifically an appetite for sugar.
It increases LDL cholesterol, lowers HDL cholesterol, raises triglycerides, and increases blood pressure. Insulin resistance causes 50% of cases of high blood pressure.
It makes blood sticky and more likely to clot, leading to heart attacks and strokes.
It stimulates the growth of cancer cells. 
It increases inflammation and oxidative stress and ages the brain.
It increases homocysteine, because sugar consumption decreases B6 and folic acid.
