Insulin Resistance
Insulin is a hormone that helps store the fats and carbohydrates we eat.
If you have insulin resistance, your body produces more insulin than it would normally need to store the same amount of food.
This excess insulin can inhibit fat breakdown, which may interfere with weight management and contribute to other health issues.
The types and amounts of food you eat play a major role in how your body responds to insulin.
If you have insulin resistance, understanding how your diet affects this condition can be beneficial. Certain foods may support better insulin function and overall health more than others.
