How To Treat Insulin Resistance

Consume Fish Frequently

Cultures that consume fish frequently have long demonstrated lower rates of heart disease and diabetes, and provide an excellent dietary example to follow in the battle against insulin resistance.

Patients with insulin resistance often struggle with obesity and high cholesterol as well. Making fish a dietary staple can not only help individuals maintain a healthy cholesterol balance, but also promote weight loss. Fish pack far fewer calories per pound than other types of animal proteins, even chicken. What’s more, cold water fish such as salmon and tuna contain high percentages of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help restore a healthy balance in an individual's cholesterol levels by raising the 'good' cholesterol and reducing the 'bad.'
