way

body processes insulin after it has been produced by repparttar 150515

pancreas to regulate blood sugar (glucose). The underlying cause of PCOS, Insulin Resistance, has many factors that contribute to its presence in repparttar 150516

body. In essence, our environment and lifestyles have evolved too rapidly for our bodies to keep pace. We are still genetically “wired” to thrive on repparttar 150517

entrenched habits of our ancestors, who consumed different, nutrient-rich foods, a diet low in carbohydrates and who sustained greater levels of movement and exercise. Some people may also have a genetic predisposition to Insulin Resistance, while others develop repparttar 150518

condition through high stress and unhealthy lifestyles. Also check Dr. Barry Sears Books on Hormonal Balance. INSULIN RESISTANCE NEGATIVELY AFFECTS GLUCOSE AND INSULIN LEVELS SYMPTOMS OF PCOS Doctors very often misdiagnose PCOS. This became an issue of critical concern after a study in 2000 found that women suffering from PCOS have a higher risk of coronary heart disease. Researchers found a link between PCOS and other metabolic conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure and high levels of LDL “bad” cholesterol, all of which are risk factors for coronary heart disease. Studies have also shown an increased link between PCOS and atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty deposits called plague cling to repparttar 150519

interior walls of repparttar 150520

arteries, leading to blockages that can cause heart attacks or stroke. Not only do PCOS sufferers have higher rates of plaque buildup but those over 45 have thicker deposits of plaque. Another report indicated that up to 40% of women with PCOS have either impaired glucose tolerance or Type II Diabetes by repparttar 150521

age of 40. Many conditions can be managed by ourselves. It is well worth it to check repparttar 150522

No liquor. Liquor causes severe instability in blood sugar levels, and will cause serious problems. I stick only to beer and wine with a maximum of three drinks. If you monitor your sugar regularly and eat beforehand, you should be able to enjoy a nice night out.

3. Eating

Of repparttar areas available for improvement in my lifestyle, eating was repparttar 150472 easiest for me to adapt and overcome. When I learned that protein had a minor effect on my sugar that was good news, any hamburger and steak-loving American would be happy to hear that, but repparttar 150473 bad news was that French fries, baked potatoes, and (my favorite) sweet potatoes were off limits. That meant I had to learn to love vegetables.

From that point forward, I began cooking veggies with light butter and cayenne pepper. I know that sounds odd, but I like spicy food. As far as your diet is concerned, for repparttar 150474 sake of your happiness, find your favorite spices and seasonings and begin experimenting with healthy foods.

4. Exercise

When it comes to exercising many people (including myself) do not follow through for long enough to see substantial results. Personally, I believe in living an active lifestyle instead of becoming a fitness and free-weight junkie. What worked for me? Basic exercises (lunges, squats, and crunches) in front of repparttar 150475 television every morning followed by a 15 minute walk.

Complying with repparttar 150476 guidelines I listed above, I'm still able to have a fun, active lifestyle while controlling my diabetes.
