Insulin resistance is a disorder in which the body no longer responds normally to the hormone insulin. In this case, many metabolic processes are impaired, including normal blood sugar levels. This syndrome, which has no early symptoms, can also lead to adult diabetes if not corrected. Lifestyle has a lot to do with this condition, and it only makes sense to try natural, common-sense insulin resistance reverse methods before resorting to medication.

There seems to be a genetic component to developing this condition, which involves a disruption in the proper release and response to insulin. However, this does not mean that a person is going to get this disorder, merely that their risk of developing it is higher than normal. If there is a history of diabetes in your family, you need to be even more strict about things like what you eat and how you spend your time.

There are several factors that contribute to the body becoming resistant to insulin, which regulates blood glucose levels among other metabolic processes. One of these is stress. Modern life is often very stressful, with the demands of both family and work. Even those without family can suffer loneliness and isolation, which are stressful, and those who may not work can have financial problems. Everyone should know of stress relieving things they can do.

One thing that has been proved over and over to be beneficial is regular outdoor exercise. People are designed to connect with nature, as well as with others. Muscle tone is important, too, since muscle tissue burns calories more efficiently than flab. Exercise improves circulation, and increased blood flow makes the whole body work better. Mental health is also improved when people get up and out.

Weight control, which is made possible by good food choices and regular physical activity, is vital to keeping diabetes at bay. People who are unable to walk freely need to find an alternative way to work their muscles. Obesity is probably the single greatest cause of insulin resistance and adult diabetes, and overweight is a national epidemic in America.

This brings us to the daily diet. People who eat 'empty calories', another term for junk food, inevitably gain weight and suffer impaired health. High-carbohydrate foods full of altered fats and sugars actually deplete many more nutrients than they contain. This also leaves less room for the whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and high-fiber foods that we need to nourish our bodies.

Limiting portion size is another good technique. People often eat more at each meal than their body can use; the excess is stored as fat. Even protein can be eaten to excess; the surplus is turned to glucose just like sugars and starches. Even pure water can be harmful if you drink too much.

Insulin resistance can be reversed with proper diet, control of portion sizes, adequate exercise, and a balanced lifestyle that curbs stress. Supplements of trace minerals such as chromium can help keep blood sugar stable, as can herbs like bitter melon and white mulberry. Check with your health advisers to see what things you could improve and what nutrients can help you achieve total well-being.
