Could Insulin Resistance and the "Hidden Hunger of Cells" be the Neglected Issue in Diabetes?

Could Insulin Resistance and the "Hidden Hunger of Cells" be the Neglected Issue in Diabetes?

Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body resists insulin and the pancreas cannot fulfill its duties sufficiently. 

Under normal conditions, after the absorption of nutrients, our body secretes insulin and draws the sugar in the blood into the cells. However, in case of insulin resistance, the cells cannot respond to the insulin hormone and the sugar that cannot be taken into the cells gradually increases in the blood. This is called insulin resistance. The first question that comes to mind when it comes to insulin resistance is whether it is likely to turn into diabetes.

Insulin resistance also increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes. As a result of the deterioration of the ability to use and secrete insulin, the phenomenon we call diabetes occurs. In addition, if dietary changes are not made, it can lead to other health problems such as heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure.  Studies show that insulin resistance is directly related to diabetes. Diabetes, commonly known as diabetes, is an advanced form of insulin resistance.  If the problem of insulin resistance is not solved over the years, it will worsen and increase over time and begin to affect other organs. 
Many factors should be considered in the treatment of insulin resistance. In particular, adopting a healthy diet, i.e. a balanced diet, is a very important step to control insulin resistance. It will help to control weight loss and blood glucose levels. This should be taken into consideration when managing weight.
 Exercise is also very important in the treatment of insulin resistance. Regular exercise affects the sensitivity levels of cells, making them more sensitive to insulin. 
As soon as you are diagnosed with insulin resistance, it is time to review your lifestyle and make radical changes. Diabetes can affect all body metabolism structures. 
One of these body metabolism structures is hypertension because it affects the blood vessels. 
If you have hypertension, pay attention to insulin resistance!
Insulin acts not only on the liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue, but also on most human organs and cell types, including the arterial vasculature and kidney. 
Insulin can cause renal sodium processing, that is, sodium retention in the renal system. This can lead to hypertension. Therefore, in case of hypertension, especially if there is insulin resistance, it should be resolved. Lifestyle and habits have a great influence on insulin resistance. At this point, we can evaluate common mistakes. 
THE 5 MOST COMMON MISTAKES IN INSULIN RESISTANCE!
Lifestyle is behind many health problems, especially insulin resistance. If the lifestyle is good, the person gets better. If the lifestyle is bad, there is a high probability of facing many diseases. Now let's focus on the 5 most common mistakes together.

1- INSUFFICIENT PROTEIN 
Eating more carbohydrates and less protein in your diet can upset the body's insulin balance. This is to be expected considering that the building blocks of the body and most of our muscles are made up of proteins. 

2- TIMING
Eating at the same time every day can help to regularize your diet. Although it may not be exactly the same every day, eating as close to the previous day as possible will be more suitable for the balance of insulin release. The number and frequency of meals can be determined entirely according to the needs of the individual, but it will be an advantage in terms of metabolic rate if the timing is at the same time every day. At Vitalica Wellnes, Turkey's best wellness center, your meals and vitamin and mineral needs are determined by expert staff and offered to you at the most appropriate time according to your circadian rhythm. 

3- INACTIVITY
A sedentary lifestyle is the enemy of insulin health. Not only does it stress you out, it makes you eat more. Of course, this is one of the causes of insulin resistance. At Vitalica wellness, insulin resistance is supported to break insulin resistance by providing breath and body integrity after the interval morning walk after the yoga session, which starts with greeting the sun every morning with expert staff. 

4- SLEEP DISORDER
Insufficient and poor quality sleep increases the likelihood that the next day will be stressful. This blocks the correct monitoring of hunger signals and leads to more intense eating attacks. At the same time, as a result of insufficient secretion of the satiety hormone "leptin", which is released more intensely during sleep, the person cannot feel full. At this point, it instinctively turns to simple carbohydrates that will provide energy to the cells in the fastest way. Since simple carbohydrates are low in fiber, they pass through the digestion process quickly, are converted into energy by the body and raise blood sugar levels.

5- THE LOGIC OF OVER-RESTRICTION
An overly restrictive diet gives you a feeling of deprivation, which can cause stress hormones to be released more than usual, which can make insulin levels aggressive. When this becomes a habit, the person needs to consume more food in order to provide enough energy to their cells between periods of extreme restrictive periods, and since the first choice will be to turn to simple carbohydrates that will quickly raise blood sugar, they may quickly gain weight and enter into a spiral of behavior that will further disrupt the sugar balance. 
          It is very difficult to make choices that will help us keep our blood sugar in balance under intense daily stress. Especially in women, the higher proportion of fat compared to total body weight invites insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a very common disorder among women. Unfortunately, poor nutrition brought by the daily hustle and bustle of life wears out the sugar metabolism. When we examine this situation more specifically through working women; The biggest common point of a teacher, accountant, lawyer, cook or a woman who is busy all day with the great responsibilities of the house, regardless of the profession, is that the diet gradually starts to deteriorate in the stress of work and home. Having a quick breakfast in the morning (pastry, etc.), and preparing pasta, rice, etc. that is either ready to eat or can be prepared immediately when you get home in the evening... In both cases, the result is to rush the meal and catch up with other responsibilities as soon as possible... 
Yes, you may have a busy lifestyle... but it should not be forgotten that on-the-go and fad diets are one of the biggest drivers of insulin resistance. Awareness of this is very important. Because this situation is literally a vicious circle. Over time, it can increase insulin resistance and invite many diseases. Moreover, fat gain will be inevitable. 

 One of the first things to do is not to see healthy eating as a challenge and not to overestimate it. With small habit changes, healthy eating can become our lifestyle. It could be starting the day with protein foods in the morning or having a lunch rich in vegetables and protein. There are many options to suit your lifestyle. As long as you avoid high energy foods in the morning. 
Creating a meal plan is one of the most important things to do at this point. In this way, it offers the opportunity to complete our cupboards with suitable foods that will leave us among the right options when shopping for the kitchen, that is, when choosing food, and to complete the day in a stress-free way within the plan and program without stressing about what to cook today. In addition, it is also possible to participate in "Healthy Nutrition Group Classes in the Chef's Studio" organized in a social environment in accordance with the content of detox programs, in the company of expert staff, trainers and chef cooks. In these classes, you can learn all the tricks of Vitalica Wellness' unique kitchen's fit and healthy recipes and sustainable healthy nutrition cuisine, from preparation to presentation, and learn how to make the flavors that you will be a regular in your own kitchen.

At this point, the biggest favor you can do for yourself is to choose one of the wellness programs specially planned for you at our Vitalica Wellness Center at Le Meridien Bodrum Beach Resort, the best wellness center in Turkey. As with our master detox program; it is planned to meet your vitamin and mineral needs calculated specifically for you and triggers your organs to work at maximum performance. . In this way, the pancreas, which secretes the hormone insulin, regenerates itself in a healthy way and ensures its balanced release. In detox programs, the body spends much less energy on digestive functions and since the chewing function is completely deactivated at certain day intervals, the pancreas, which is triggered by the brain through the chewing mechanism, is left to rest. 

Resting the body and organs would be the right choice for maximizing mental and physical regeneration. 
The number of Type 2 Diabetes patients worldwide has more than doubled in the last 20 years. Moreover, it is a disease not only of the elderly but also of young people and children. 
Diabetes, one of the most serious acquired systemic diseases, does not develop in a day. 
First, blood sugar fluctuations, excessive insulin release, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR>1) and high blood sugar (<90 mg/dl at fasting) occur. 
Insulin resistance is actually the last before the bridge, but also the missed exit because it is not taken seriously!

Although high blood glucose levels are the most prominent feature of insulin resistance, there is a neglected fact. Since the main energy source "glucose" remains inside the vessels, how are the cells fed? More precisely, what happens to cells that do not get enough nutrition? 
These first signals in prediabetes or "hidden diabetes" are not related to high blood sugar levels but to cellular starvation. Cellular starvation may be the cause of weakness and feeling tired quickly, which is a common complaint. 
In addition, starved cells primarily reduce luxury functions such as regeneration and repair in order to save energy. Delay in wound healing, prolonged simple infections and fat gain are also signals of this period. 
If we recognize this important period and take advantage of the opportunity, we can prevent problems related to chronic high blood sugar, cardiovascular diseases, kidney failure, vision loss, nerve damage and diabetic foot.
