“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.”

“Ketogenic diets—which significantly limit carbohydrates—reduce the body's insulin response (insulin signaling). When insulin signaling is very low, SHBG levels can rise, binding up more testosterone and reducing the amount of free testosterone available for the body to use.”

“A great source of polyphenols is blueberries—consuming blueberries (which are rich in a class of polyphenols called anthocyanins) improves cognitive function, while at the same time, leads to better insulin and glucose levels.”

“Both diet strategies lowered fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, a commonly used estimate of insulin resistance. TRE also reduced HbA1c, a marker that reflects average blood sugar over about three months, while CR more clearly lowered fasting glucose and improved QUICKI, an estimate of insulin sensitivity.”

“Muscle contraction moves GLUT4 transporters to the cell surface, while insulin sensitivity remains elevated after activity. These responses help explain why regular exercise improves glycemic control and why physically active muscle can dispose of glucose more effectively.”

“Furthermore, consuming protein after exercise does not elevate IGF-1 levels in the same way as consuming protein in a sedentary state, further demonstrating the protective effects of physical activity. Exercise enhances immune surveillance, reduces chronic inflammation, and improves insulin sensitivity, all of which lower cancer risk and enhance longevity.”

“Preliminary data in liver cells have shown that insulin resistance due to circadian dysregulation can be recovered through the activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol.”
