“Chronic inflammation (originating from the gut and other cells in the body), higher IGF-1, glucose, and insulin levels have all been identified to play a role in the obesity-cancer link. If you are one of the 69% of U.S. adults that are overweight/obese...”

“mTORC2 regulates cellular metabolism and plays a crucial role in maintaining both healthy and cancer cells. Various growth factors regulate mTORC2, including insulin, insulin-like growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor.”

“However, a subgroup of participants with mild obesity, lower insulin resistance, and reduced insulin secretion saw a greater reduction in blood sugar—about 7.2 mg/dL. These participants also had a distinct gut microbiota composition, including a higher abundance of bacterial genes linked to sulforaphane activation.”

“Clinical studies are needed to determine collagen's effectiveness in lowering human blood pressure. In rodent studies, marine hydrolyzed collagen improves glucose sensitivity and insulin resistance and decreases inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress.”

“Interleukin-6 participates in the immune response by mediating the acute phase response and fostering beneficial outcomes [such as insulin sensitization after exercise. However, when chronically elevated, IL-6 can also contribute to age-related chronic diseases.”

“Each of the participants performed cognitive tasks and provided blood samples before and after each meal/treatment. The authors of the study assessed the participants for changes in their episodic memory and executive function as well as plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides.”

“They also align with previous research showing that exercise snacks improve insulin sensitivity in people with insulin resistance. A key benefit of exercise snacks is that they eliminate the need for specialized equipment and the scheduling of leisure time for structured exercise.”

“For example, time-restricted eating within a 6-hour window without reducing calories or losing weight improves insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, blood pressure, oxidative stress and reduces evening appetite.”

“Preliminary evidence that insulin resistance may play a role in fibromyalgia. People high HbA1c (a biomarker for long-term blood glucose) were significantly more likely to have fibromyalgia even if they did not have type 2 diabetes.”

“Analysis of the 45 studies revealed significant reductions in post-meal blood glucose and insulin levels when the starch consumed had a high amylose content, was less-gelatinized, contained retrograded starch, or contained intact and large particles.”
