Insulin Resistance Explained

High blood sugar leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products, which wreak havoc on the body, causing inflammation and damage to blood vessels and organs. When insulin resistance develops, the body struggles to manage glucose, resulting in elevated insulin levels that promote fat storage and increase cravings for unhealthy foods. This hormonal imbalance can lead to conditions like PCOS in women and andropause in men, highlighting the critical need to manage insulin for overall health.
