Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells don't respond well to insulin, causing high blood sugar levels. This condition can lead to serious health issues like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Insulin resistance is often related to being overweight, not getting enough exercise, and having poor dietary habits.
Several factors contribute to insulin resistance, including genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise, and being overweight. Visceral fat, which is fat stored around internal organs, is particularly harmful. Chronic stress and poor sleep patterns can also worsen insulin resistance by disrupting the body's hormonal balance.
