🤨Is insulin bad?
NO… Insulin is essential to life. What’s bad is TOO MUCH INSULIN (TMI) and INSULIN RESISTANCE (IR).
❓What happens with TMI and IR?
Many of the normal functions become excessive, leading to chronic diseases.
❓How do we get TMI and IR?
By eating the wrong foods excessively and repeatedly.
❓Which foods are the worst for this?
Processed, sugary foods and refined carbs.
❓What are the consequences of TMI and IR?
Obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, chronic inflammation, heart diseases, kidney diseases, dementia, cancer, PCOS, acne, fatty liver, etc.
🧐Insulin plays a major role in salt absorption by the kidneys. Insulin is supposed to rise and fall based on food and drinks. But with TMI, salt absorption becomes excessive, leading to salt and fluid retention, which is a major cause of high blood pressure.
If this is sustained long-term, cue the addition of a diabetes diagnosis.
Like most chronic metabolic diseases, reversal is possible.
