“[...] A 2013 study published in the American Journal of Medicine found that cannabis consumers have 16 percent lower levels of fasting insulin and 17 percent lower insulin resistance levels than non-users.”

“In another study, older adults consuming 3.36 grams of omega-3s daily for two months had an increase in muscle protein synthesis in the presence of amino acids and insulin. Yet another study found that healthy older adults taking 4 grams of omega-3s daily for half a year increased various measures of muscle size and strength.”

“Read sample coverage of this topic from our premium member newsletter. Allulose reduces the blood sugar spikes caused by sugar. Regular consumption of high glycemic foods (e.g., soda, candy, pastries) may lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.”

“Visceral fat is fat stored in the abdomen and is associated with insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides, and fatty liver. This is in contrast to fat stored in the lower body, called subcutaneous fat, which is not associated with metabolic dysfunction.”

“These findings suggest that there is likely some flexibility in determining the window during which a person eats when practicing time-restricted eating. Studies also show that time-restricted eating improves circulating insulin and blood pressure independent of weight loss.”

“It also improved insulin sensitivity and increased mitochondrial proteins and ribosomes (which make new proteins) in muscle cells. The volunteers engaged in aerobic high-intensity interval training (cycling at >90% of peak oxygen consumption) for 3 days and 2 days per week of treadmill walking (45 min at 70% of VO2 peak) or strength training.”

“They determined that SARS-CoV-2 infects beta cells, and this infection promotes beta cell death and decreases insulin release. They also found that beta cells express ACE2, transmembrane serine protease 2, transferrin receptor, and neuropilin 1.”

“Evidence suggests cinnamon improves lipid profiles and protects against damage induced by oxidative stress. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found that cinnamon helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels and reduces insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“Researchers assessed the participant's aerobic capacity (measured as VO2 peak) and insulin sensitivity before and after their respective interventions. Ten of the 15 REHIT participants completed all 18 sessions, indicating high compliance.”
