You would be astounded by how many body systems are affected by high insulin, and also how many issues resolve with a healthy nutritional lifestyle! Whenever we eat, our blood sugar increases. Depending on what and when we eat, we can control how much our blood sugar levels rise. Insulin increases to open up our cells like a key to receive the sugar for energy and eliminate it from the blood. Too much insulin makes our bodies not want to respond to it, seeing it as toxic. This eventually becomes insulin resistance. Weight loss could then become exponentially more difficult.
