What to do if you think you may have diabetes type 2? See a doctor.
As you can see the illness is horrific, yet affects so many people worldwide. However, I’m sorry to
say it’s usually down to sheer ignorance, laziness and our surrounding lifestyles that lead to type 2
diabetes.
How to cure type two diabetes
Believe it or not if you don’t take this illness to far then it’s completely reversible on a holistic nature.
You simply:
Reduce carbohydrate intake to a reasonable amount
Prioritize your calorie intake ensuring you’re not in a calorie surplus
Eat whole foods, cutting out any junk alcohol and fizzy juice for example
Start to be more active, walks, jogs, exercise, light weight training etc.
What this does it starts to give the blood cells room for excess insulin levels. Its will slowly start to
decrease the blood sugar levels and create a much more balanced energy level. It will help to burn
excess fat and generally give the body a much-needed break for all the negative effects of unhealthy
living.
Once the body is in a healed state then you can start to increase some carbohydrates etc. and enjoy
a treat here and there. You must however continue to live healthy. Exercise and take care of your
body.
All this can be achieved. Seeking a good coach to help you through the process is essential.
Leptin
Leptin is a very important hormone in the body that tells us when we are full or hungry. It’s the
satiety hormone and can be the obesity hormone. It does however play a huge role in the
importance of health.
It’s a hormone that’s made from the adipose cells in fat that help to regulate energy balance and
inhibits hunger.
The more fat you hold the more leptin you have. This means the body is telling you that you have
sufficient energy stores and there’s no need to over indulge. However, when you diet you lose fat
from fat cells and the leptin levels drop. This increases hunger.
Everyone has a leptin threshold. When the leptin levels go lower than this threshold the body says
“hey I’m starving” it then activates a nerve called the vagus nerve which runs between the brain and
the abdomen. The vagus nerve is like your energy storage nerve and it helps you to understand
when you’re hungry. It’s like an indicator. So, when you eat your body will store energy into your fat
cells to increase your leptin levels back to or above the threshold.
The problem is that overweight people have a large amount of leptin and this creates what we call,
leptin resistance. The brain no longer gets the signal to stop eating.it becomes resistant to the
signals being sent by the vagus nerve. This is due to the fact if you constantly over eat then chances
are you will create more fat. This means more leptin way above your threshold. Your body no longer
knows when your full. You can’t however create less fat below what the bodies base levels are. You
would die through starvation.
