Abstract


The Role of Nutrition in The Treatment of Hyperinsulinemia and InsulinResistance

Authors: Rupar Iyar

At the start of the 20th century, disease was mainly caused by infectious agents. The top three causes of death were pneumonia, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections. Improved pub-lic sanitation and advancement in antimicrobial agents have transformed this landscape. To-day, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death. Cardiovascu-lar disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, gout, acne, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothy-roidism, erectile dysfunction, vertigo, and tinnitus are typically conditions termed as ‘idiopathic.’ However, a growing body of evidence suggests a common underlying cause – metabol-ic derangement resulting from chronic hyperinsulinemia leading to the end-point of insulin re-sistance. Virtually no medical specialty is immune to insulin resistance. Currently, there is no forum in our medical community to synthesize and unite the clinical research into a unified method that can be applied in treatment. To fight insulin resistance, the body multiplies the production of insulin to maintain healthy levels of blood glucose. This leads to high insulin lev-els in the bloodstream. Research tells us that this condition shows up almost thirteen years be-fore the onset of many chronic diseases. ‘You are what you eat’ is a common saying and is technically accurate. What we eat, deter-mines how we look, feel, and function. Nutrients from foods we eat provide the foundation for all cells in our body. Every cell in the body has a shelf life, ranging from a day or two for a stomach cell, to four months for a red blood cell. The nutrients we provide our body, and the time we offer them, become the basis for the integrity of our health's foundation. Although we may not realize it, every moment, we are constantly repairing, healing, and rebuilding our bod-ies. Eating a clean, nutrient-rich diet, combined with appropriate supplements when needed, and the right homeopathic remedy can help us heal more quickly.
