So, let’s chat about insulin resistance. It’s one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean? Basically, insulin resistance occurs when your cells start to ignore the insulin that’s circulating in your bloodstream. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body use sugar (glucose) for energy. When your cells resist insulin, your body has to produce more of it to get the same effect, which can lead to higher blood sugar levels.
Now, managing insulin resistance often involves a few lifestyle changes. Eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods—think fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats—can make a big difference. Regular physical activity is also key; it helps your body use insulin more effectively. Also, don’t forget about sleep and stress management—both can impact how your body processes insulin.
