When you eat,
and your blood sugar levels start to rise, your body makes insulin.
What insulin does, is it opens up
the receptors in the cell; there are two receptors in each
cell and just as a side comment-- it
is worth noting, that a cancer cell has over 40 receptors for sugar.
The insulin
will open those receptors and allow the glucose molecules from the
food to penetrate from the
blood
into the cell
and oxygen
enters the cells
as well. Then, the oxygen
combusts
the sugar
and creates energy.
So what happens with the over abundance of sugar because of our poor diet?
All of a
sudden, the cell stops responding to insulin. It becomes insulin
resistance. So what happens with the excess sugar?
The
sugar now stays in the blood, the
body makes more insulin and you then have too much insulin and too much
sugar in the body, both of which are very
dangerous and can lead to disease and death.
The liver
begins to try and rectify by combining the sugar and insulin into fatty
acids and then storing it as fat; with the assumption that the insulin
resistance will someday disappear and the body will
“SURELY” be able to use that excess
fat.-- “WRONG” !!!
The glycemic
index basically says that if you eat something that has a high glycemic
index, your blood sugar will go up; as opposed to something with low GI, at
which case your blood sugar
will not
go up.
Studies found
that the Glycemic Index is really different for each person. In other
words, the studies showed that for one person,
carrots for example, might be worse
than oranges for one person, and
for another oranges might be
worse than carrots. So basically
the studies show that every person has his
or her own GI.
On top of
that, high glycemic foods are not necessarily carbohydrates, they could be
meat or they could be
nuts or something else. When you
ingest something that for you, is
a high GI food, along with sugar, then your
sugar level and insulin
resistance will go up. So instead of calling them Glycemic Index indicators
Dr Friedman, who provided the studies and
did the research, called them triggers. Why triggers? Because
they TRIGGER insulin resistance inside
the body.
After having discovered this, --the next
question was, how can a person find out what their food triggers are? This
lead to the development of the biofeedback system we have at our clinic
today.
The
biofeedback system will introduce a
signature, by way of low level
current to the body using the
Biofeedback for each
food and ask the body through this
biofeedback signature current, if that
particular food would tend to cause an
inappropriate blood sugar response
or not-- in an individuals’
body. This system will show with a high reliability, what your food
triggers are.
Avoid those
triggers and you will become healthier and start to lose body fat and
improve your weight ratio and/or improve your energy and over all good
health. Since lean muscle metabolizes and fat does not, by default you will
become healthier. This is what we refer to
as the science of
measurement
and that there is no one size fits
all program. We have a one on
one with each of our
clients to help develop their own
personal “Health Span” Helping to
reduce insulin resistance is only one!
There
was extensive research on different
ingredients in our products that
would assist the body to reduce insulin
resistance and to help control blood sugar levels. Another thing that the
health assessment will show you is what nutritional needs your body
requires; and which of our health and sustainable weight loss products
balance with your body to help your body become
balanced. You have no doubt heard Stephanie and I speak of
balance weekly, and how important this it is to balance your body. It will
give you a good indication of what nutrients your body needs to reach
optimal health. And these nutrients
will be pin pointed in the
printed report generated to
specifically analyze your body.
