By Lila Bryant


If you have insulin resistance, a condition in which the body finds it hard to react to insulin hormone, there is a tendency that you may develop type 2 diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes is a serious lifestyle disease, there are still ways to reverse insulin resistance and eventually fight diabetes. The following article will help you fight insulin resistance through proper diet.

People who have suffered from insulin resistance are prone to develop failure of internal organs such as liver, pancreas and kidney, high blood pressure and heart disease, irregular cholesterol levels, excessive weight or obesity. Proper diet is among the best ways to reverse this disorder. The amount and type of food you eat determine your sugar and cholesterol levels.

The amount and type of food you put on your plate say a lot of things about your health. Although there are fruits that are high in sugar, it is imperative that you eat foods rich in fiber, green and leafy vegetables, foods low in sugar and flour, and less glucose. It is also important to eat foods rich in omega 3 fats for your heart. Soy products, beans, nuts, whole wheat and seeds are also good to remedy this condition.

Fatty acids. You need fats to keep your body warm and enhance your immune system. It is essential in healing and reducing inflammations. Insulin resistant patients need foods rich in whole omega 3 such as fish, eggs, a soy protein shake, or nut butters. Soy milk, tofu and salmon are good sources of protein. It can also come from other cold-water fish, for instance salmon, sable, herring, shellfish and sardines.

Fats. Fats are essential part of human diet. It gives heat to your body and protects you from infections. If you are insulin dependent, you still need fats to reduce inflammation. Eat foods rich in whole omega 3 such as fish, a soy protein shake, eggs, or nut butters. Protein cannot only be obtained from meat. High-quality proteins actually are from fish such as cold-water fish such as salmon, sable, shellfish, herring and sardines.

Eating frequency - Midnight meals can be very inviting. However, they reduce the ability of the system to take in all the nutrients, hence exhausting your heart, kidney and liver. The period that these organs should be resting and you're still eating isn't the proper way to cure this disorder. Finish eating no less than 2 - 3 hours prior to sleeping. Take in snack in time to regulate your glucose level and insulin.

Put enough fruit, seeds, nuts, legumes, whole-food carbohydrates from vegetables, fats and protein at every snack or meal. Sugar determines the glucose in your system so this is a part you must watch out for. Chew your food slowly and finely because your body is having a hard time absorbing large chunks of compounds such as carbohydrates.

The food you eat is an important part to reverse the disorder but there are still many things to do such as combining proper diet with proper exercise, healthy lifestyle, reducing excess weight and supplements.
