Here’s a test: define metabolism.
Go ahead, what is it? If you said it’s how fast you burn calories, you’re partially right.
Your metabolic rate does determine the number of calories your body burns. But your metabolism governs more than just your metabolic rate. It also keeps everything in balance – like your blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure.
When metabolism goes wrong
In ideal circumstances, your metabolism works like a well-oiled machine.
You eat energy in the form of food. The body breaks the food down into sugar. The sugar is transported out of the blood and into the cells by the hormone insulin. Simple.
But most of us don’t lead ideal lives.
We tend to eat diets high in simple carbohydrates (like bread, rice, and pastries), which cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. In response, the pancreas secretes loads of insulin.
That’s okay occasionally, but when we consistently eat simple carbs, so much insulin is flooded into the system that we can eventually become resistant to it.
In fact, one in five Americans suffers from insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes and metabolic syndrome – both of which increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. That’s why it’s important to learn how to lower blood sugar.
Balance your blood sugar
There are a number of things you can do to support normal blood sugar levels.
Exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet top the list.
But natural supplements can also help.
Glycemic Balance addresses all three critical aspects of blood sugar balance.
First, it increases your body’s sensitivity to insulin, with chromium, cinnamon, and EGCG from green tea.
Second, it imitates the effects of insulin with the mineral vanadium. And third, it ignites glucose metabolism, with a high-potency dose of biotin.
When you balance your blood sugar, you’re investing in your long-term health.
But you also get short-term benefits, like higher energy levels and an easier time losing weight.
Love your heart
If you’re resistant to insulin, chances are it’s putting a strain on your heart.
That’s why any program aimed at supporting optimal metabolism will also address cardiovascular health.
Give yourself a good foundation
Your body can survive even the most nutritionally deficient diet.
But for your metabolism to really thrive, it needs a multitude of vitamins and minerals – in just the right quantities.
