“The heat treatment specifically targeted the skeletal muscle by increasing the expression of a type of transporter known as GLUT 4, which is responsible for transporting glucose into skeletal muscle from the bloodstream. Decreased glucose uptake by skeletal muscle is one of the mechanisms that leads to insulin resistance.”

“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.”

“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.”

“[...] 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.”

“Time-Restricted Feeding Improves Insulin Sensitivity, Blood Pressure, and Oxidative Stress Even without Weight Loss in Men with Prediabetes. Cell Metab. 2018 TRE is just one of three dietary levers one can use to improve health and manage weight.”

“FTA: > Losing as little as 30 minutes of sleep per day on weekdays can have long-term consequences for body weight and metabolism, a new study finds.”

“The participants performing exercise (without protein) maintained their aerobic capacity and body fat percentage, but these outcomes worsened in the control group. Resistance Exercise Training Increases Muscle Mass and Strength in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy.”

“Early-life nutrition influences lifelong health, and excessive calorie intake in infancy can set the stage for obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. However, okra, a vegetable rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, may help counteract these harmful effects.”

“Endurance exercise enhances muscle insulin sensitivity and prevents declines in mitochondrial respiratory capacity with aging. High-intensity interval exercise boosts mitochondrial biogenesis, and resistance exercise increases muscle mass, strength, and power.”

“A meta-analysis of 42 trials found that interrupting sitting reduced post-meal glucose and insulin, while small trials found improved cardiorespiratory fitness after brief stair-climbing sessions and increased muscle-protein-synthesis signaling after walking or squat breaks.”
