However, there are still ways to reverse insulin resistance.

People who have suffered from insulin resistance are prone to develop failure of internal organs such as liver, pancreas and kidney, high blood pressure and heart disease, irregular cholesterol levels, excessive weight or obesity. Proper diet is among the best ways to reverse this disorder. The amount and type of food you eat determine your sugar and cholesterol levels.

The volume and kinds of food you intake will determine the structure and reaction of your body. To reverse this disorder, you must eat fruits and vegetables rich in fiber and anti-oxidants but lesser in sugar and flour. Green and leafy vegetables are good sources of fiber while omega 3 and good fats will help your heart function well. To be particular, you need to overhaul you dietary plan and make sure that you eat the foods your body needs every day.

Fatty acids. You need fats to keep your body warm and enhance your immune system. It is essential in healing and reducing inflammations. Insulin resistant patients need foods rich in whole omega 3 such as fish, eggs, a soy protein shake, or nut butters. Soy milk, tofu and salmon are good sources of protein. It can also come from other cold-water fish, for instance salmon, sable, herring, shellfish and sardines.

Fats. Fats are essential part of human diet. It gives heat to your body and protects you from infections. If you are insulin dependent, you still need fats to reduce inflammation.

High-quality proteins actually are from fish such as cold-water fish such as salmon, sable, shellfish, herring and sardines.

Eating frequency - Midnight meals can be very inviting. However, they reduce the ability of the system to take in all the nutrients, hence exhausting your heart, kidney and liver. The period that these organs should be resting and you're still eating isn't the proper way to cure this disorder. Finish eating no less than 2 - 3 hours prior to sleeping. Take in snack in time to regulate your glucose level and insulin.

Combine enough fruit, seeds, nuts, legumes, whole-food carbohydrates from vegetables, fats and protein at every snack or meal. Also, control your sugar intake.

It takes time for your body to absorb carbohydrates alone, and this struggle causes your sugar and insulin levels to rise.

The food you eat is an important part to reverse the disorder but there are still many things to do such as combining proper diet with proper exercise, healthy lifestyle, reducing excess weight and supplements.
