Insulin is the hormone of aging. Meaning, the more you release, the quicker you age! Did you know that?
Insulin is the most anabolic hormone. It contributes to growth within the body.
Its function is to regulate glucose (sugar) in the blood from every food we eat. Insulin acts like a shuttle. It helps glucose enter the body’s cells to be used for energy. If all the glucose is not needed for energy, the remainder is stored in fat cells or in the liver as glycogen.
The more sugar pumping through our blood, the more Insulin is needed to regulate it.
Insulin Resistance is on the rise in North America but something you can manage better through diet and lifestyle changes. Reverse the effects of aging by keeping your body Insulin Sensitive (able to manage carbs and blood sugar well).
