Sugar and Glycemic Spikes
Sugar - a temptation that has been with us for generations. While its sweet taste may captivate me, lurking beneath the surface are sugar spikes, a threat to our health that often goes overlooked.
Decoding the Impact of Spikes
Glycemic spikes, the rapid surge in blood glucose levels triggered by sugary delights, may appear harmless initially. However, beneath the surface lies a series of detrimental effects that can wreak havoc on my well-being.
These sugar spikes tamper with endothelial function and nitric oxide production, disrupting the lining of my blood vessels and impairing essential compounds that support cardiovascular health. Additionally, they interfere with the formation of triglycerides in my gut and liver, a phenomenon that contributes to chronic metabolic disorders and vascular dysfunction over time.
The implications of fluctuating blood sugar levels are profound. They elevate my risk for chronic diseases, metabolic challenges, and heart-related complications. Maintaining stable blood sugar is essential for my overall health.
Yet, there's more to this story than just glucose - the other key player is insulin.
Insulin: Beyond Its Storage Role
When I delve into the realms of insulin's functions, I uncover a multifaceted role that extends well beyond its widely acknowledged duty as the body's energy storage hormone. Notably, insulin emerges as a potent growth factor, vigorously promoting cell division and proliferation. This revelation leads to a disconcerting realization of the true perils concealed within this hormone's influence.
Intriguingly, insulin's propensity for encouraging cell division within coronary arteries brings forth a heightened risk of coronary vascular smooth muscle proliferation. This, in turn, elevates the probability of encountering heart-related complications. But the impact doesn't halt there. In the intricate domains of the brain, insulin's effect fosters cerebral arteriosclerosis, a precursor to critical conditions like ischemia, stroke, and even dementia.
The reverberations of insulin's unrestrained influence echo across diverse organs, giving rise to a spectrum of disorders, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, cardiac failure, and chronic renal failure. The path forward is clear and has been evident for some time: the necessity to maintain both glucose and insulin levels within optimal bounds. Unfortunately, the consumption of ultra-processed foods tends to steer in the opposite direction, precipitating unwelcome surges in both.
