What is insulin resistance and how to fight it?

Medicial

Insulin resistance is a disorder characterized by poor insulin sensitivity in the cells of the muscles, fat, and liver, which raises blood sugar levels and causes type 2 diabetes. Numerous metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease, are frequently associated with this illness. Insulin resistance can be caused by a variety of causes, including genetics, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, nutrition, chronic inflammation, hormone imbalances, and sleep disorders. A number of health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), can be brought on by unmanaged insulin resistance. In order to facilitate the entry of glucose into cells, the pancreas generates more insulin, which raises blood sugar levels and contributes to the emergence of various metabolic illnesses.
