How to reduce insulin resistance - #20165

Hello Marriam,

Since you are currently taking Metformin and Spirocard, I would like to know if you have undergone tests such as fasting blood glucose and postprandial (PP) blood sugar. Kindly share your reports for a more precise assessment.

Based on your symptoms, Ayurveda suggests that your Agni (digestive strength) is imbalanced. To improve this, you need to focus on lifestyle modifications.

### Recommendations:

✅ Do:
- Include fruits and sprouts in your breakfast.
- Follow a millet-based diet for better digestion.
- Have an early dinner to support metabolism.
- Maintain a consistent sleep schedule.
- Drink herbal tea made with ½ teaspoon of Triphala powder.
- Practice yoga postures such as Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, and Padhastasana.
- Perform pranayama techniques like Bhramari Pranayama and Bhastrika Pranayama.
- Consume green juice made from neem and bitter gourd in the morning.

❌ Avoid:
- Dairy products
- Sugary foods
- Non-vegetarian food
- White rice

🚰 Stay hydrated throughout the day.

Please share more details about your reports so I can provide the best possible guidance. Looking forward to your response!

Insulin resistance often manifests with symptoms like weight gain, cravings for sugar and carbs, and can also aggravate acne and gastrointestinal issues. Even though your hormones appear normal, these indicators align with what we see in insulin resistance contexts. Let’s explore how Ayurveda can help you address this.

First off, we can start with diet, an integral part of Ayurvedic healing. Your cravings for sugary, carbohydrate-rich foods may be signs of kapha imbalance, which can lead to insulin-related challenges. Aim to incorporate more bitter and pungent tastes, which help in balancing kapha and enhancing metabolism. Green leafy vegetables, bitter gourds, and spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger should be your dietary allies. These not only help balance your doshas but can also improve digestion and support in detoxifying the body.

Next, consider the timing and quantity of your meals. Small, frequent meals help in keeping your blood sugar stable and can reduce those cravings. Try not to eat heavy meals late at night, as they can slacken your metabolic fire, or agni, which needs to be strong for optimal digestion and balance.

For your gastrointestinal concerns, avoiding processed foods, white sugars and refined flours can work wonders. Integrating fiber-rich foods such as lentils, and whole grains like quinoa can stabilize gut health. Herbal teas like those made from mint or fennel can assist in soothing any digestive discomfort.

Lifestyle adjustments play a key role too. Regular physical activity, such as yoga or brisk walking for 30 minutes each day, can significantly improve your insulin sensitivity. Pranayama (breathing exercises) like kapalbhati or anulom vilom are particularly beneficial for balancing internal energies and managing stress, which can further exacerbate insulin resistance.

Finally, consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner if possible. They can give you personalized guidance, possibly include Ayurvedic herbs like gudmar (gymnema sylvestre) or methi (fenugreek), used for managing blood sugar levels effectively.

While these suggestions drawn from Ayurveda may support your journey toward reducing symptoms and improving your overall balance, please monitor your health closely, especially if you notice any changes, and consult your healthcare provider. Safety first!
