Insulin Linked Problem

You come across so many people today who are fighting with problems and dealing with disorders like high cholesterol,insulin imbalance,polycuystic ovaries and so on.The list is endless,but what is intersting is that these disorders are all linked to hyper-responsive insulin.
When we eat food that contains its own fibre,the body digests the food over time,slowly releasing chunks of glucose into the system.when the glucose is released,it triggers a rise in the homone called insulin,which uses the glucose.If the insulin rise is gentle,the body does well.But if the rise is sudden and very sharp,which typically happens with the consumption of refined food,then the side effects of high insulin levels emerge - weight gain.cholesterol problems,imbalanced blood sugar, and irregular cycles in women.
