Keeping insulin levels low will help lose weight and body fat. ⁣
⁣
Will also prevent the on set of hyperinsulinemia which is often associated with type 2 diabetes and has been linked to obesity, heart disease and cancer.⁣
⁣
Here are some tips on keeping insulin from spiking and keeping look sugar level low⁣
⁣
# Go Low Carb⁣
⁣
Carbohydrates (carbs) are what cause blood sugar to rise.⁣
⁣
When you eat carbs, they are broken down into simple sugars. Those sugars then enter the bloodstream. Cut back on refined carbs in particular bread, pasta, rice, cereal.⁣
⁣
# Intermittent fasting⁣
⁣
this way of eating naturally keeps insulin level low. Breakfast IS NOT the most important meal of the day. When you're not eating your body will tap in to body fat for fuel.⁣
⁣
# Exercise more⁣
⁣
Exercise helps control blood sugar spikes by increasing the sensitivity of your cells to the hormone insulin.⁣
⁣
Exercise also causes muscle to absorb sugar from the blood, helping to lower blood sugar levels ⁣
⁣
Strength training and H.I.I.T are two of the best types of exercise to help with this.⁣
⁣
# Sleep more and stress less⁣
⁣
Both too little and too much sleep have been associated with poor blood sugar control.⁣
⁣
Even having one or two bad nights can affect your blood sugar levels⁣
⁣
Stress can negatively affect your health in a number of ways, causing headaches, increased blood pressure and anxiety.⁣
⁣
It has also been shown to affect blood sugar. As stress levels go up, your body releases certain hormones. The effect is to release stored energy in the form of sugar into your bloodstream for the fight-or-flight response

I love this definition of resilience
