You have:

Insulin Resistance

● Genetics

● Diet

● Physical Activity

REVERSING

your insulin resistance:

● Along with healthy eating, using your

MUSCLES every day.

● The more “FIT” your body's muscles, the

easier it is for circulating insulin to get into

cells,

● And the less insulin your pancreas has to

push out.

●

What happens when we use our

muscles?

●LUNGS: Oxygen in

●HEART: Pumps oxygen in blood

●MUSCLES:

●Use oxygen as fuel to burn fat &

carbohydrate!

As our muscles get better &

(more fit) at using O2,

the more fuel we can burn....

the more fit we are

& the longer we can exercise.

Why using our muscles EVERY

day makes a happy pancreas!

●Decreases insulin resistance.

●(genetics, diet, physical activity)

● This means, your body's OWN insulin that it

makes, is able to get into your cells & work!
