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!
