Why Should You Care?
Several factors can elevate your risk for insulin resistance, such as:
- Higher BMI: A BMI over 29 ups your risk.
- Medications: Both SSRI antidepressants, which might increase carb cravings, and long-term steroid medications can be culprits.
- Stress: Those relentless stress hormones? They're not doing your insulin sensitivity any favors.
Signals Your Body Might Be Giving You
Watch out for:
- Waist-to-Hip Ratio: If your waist is nearly as wide, or wider, than your hips, it’s a potential sign.
- Skin Changes: Dark patches and skin tags aren't just cosmetic issues. They might be your body's SOS signal.
Turning the Tide: Taking Charge
- Dietary Shifts: Cut out processed delights. Think colorful veggies, lean protein, and whole grains. Remove the white bread and pasta and eat more greens and beans.
- Move More: You don’t have to run a marathon, but regular movement? Non-negotiable.
- Sleep & Stress: Prioritize those Zzzs and find your unique stress-buster. For me, it's a weekend hike.
