Healthy Lifestyle Reduces Insulin Resistance


http://theluckyberry.com

Experts estimate that 10 to 25 percent of adults may be insulin resistant. This condition means that the body can't use sugar properly. It greatly increases your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.

The biggest risk factor for insulin resistance is being overweight. Even more dangerous is carrying that extra weight around the middle.

Fortunately, people can reduce insulin resistance with moderate to intense exercise. In general, it is recommended that you try to work in 30 minutes of activity on most days of the week. A diet low in fat and calories also helps tame insulin resistance.
