Insulin-resistant diet therapy

Mirabelli et al. 2020). An appropriately composed diet reduces the likelihood of developing insulin resistance and its severity. What should a diet look like when insulin resistant? It affects up to 2535% of the population in Western countries (M. Untreated leads to many metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even infertility.

1. What is insulin resistance?

Insulin receptors are found in most cells of the body. Simply put, cells do not respond to insulin, so there is a steady increase in blood glucose levels that cannot be used as an energy source for the cell. Excess insulin in the blood can lead to overweight and obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hypertension, lipid dysfunction, and infertility (MIO). Insulin resistance is a decreased sensitivity of the insulin receptor in tissues that can be used to produce insulin. Insulin is still used in the test to diagnose insulin resistance in the brain and blood cells.

2. Insulin resistance is the cause

Factors that increase the risk of developing this disorder include: excessive calorie intake, lack of physical activity, ?? increased fat tissue in the abdomen (so-called bone fat), emotional stress,?? body aging. Excess free fatty acids can accumulate in cells and reduce their insulin sensitivity, which can cause impairment of glucose production.

3. Insulin resistance Symptoms may occur

For a long time, insulin resistance is symptomless, but with time, alarming signs begin to appear: weight gain, sleepiness after meals, ?? reduced mood, ̇ irritation,  memory and concentration problems, ¢ dark redness (skin changes most commonly occurring around the elbow and neck), ¢ chronic fatigue, ‡ hunger strokes of about 23 hours after eating, ✓ feeling cold, ◦ excessive cravings for sweets,  difficulty in losing weight.

4. Insulin resistance is the diagnosis

HOMA-IR above 2,02,5 indicates insulin resistance. The results of the above tests allow the calculation of the Homa-IR, which is an indicator of fasting glucose and insulin levels.

5. Insulin-resistant diet therapy

On the one hand, people with insulin resistance are very likely to struggle with excess body weight and increased blood glucose. Insulin supplementation between meals also reduces the concentration of free fatty acids in the blood and increases the sensitivity of the cells to insulin (T. In those who are insulin resistant, weight reduction is recommended and the introduction of a calorie-deficient diet is recommended). Insulin is produced under the influence of the food consumed and the increase of glucose levels in their blood.

6. The following is the list of food additives used in the preparation of food preparations:

Low glycemic index products cause a slow increase in blood glucose levels and a small release of insulin and hence a longer feeling of satiety. They cause a rapid increase in glucose level and high insulin release. Glycemic Index (GI) determines the rate of increase in the glucose concentration in the blood as a percentage after consuming a food that contains 50 g of absorbable carbohydrates, compared to a rise in the level of glucose when consuming 50 g.

7. Glycemic index of selected foodstuffs (A. Jeznach-Steinhagen 2020)

8. The Mediterranean diet

Pigeon, B. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by a high intake of vegetables and fruits, dried seeds of legumes, whole grain cereal products, olive oil and nuts with a reduced consumption of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Polyphenols have a positive effect on cell insulin sensitivity, reducing oxidative stress, and reducing inflammation. The more intense color of the vegetable or fruit, the more polyphenolic compounds it has.

9. Insulin resistance and physical activity

A low- or moderate-intensity aerobic (oxygen) exercise is recommended. It is important that the type of activity is tailored to your tastes and health. An appropriately composed diet with a low glycemic index, rich in vegetables and fruits, avoiding stress, and regular physical activity contribute to increasing your insulin sensitivity and thus reducing your insulin resistance. Regular exercise has a positive effect on weight loss and improves your cells' sensitivities to insulin.
