What is Insulin?
Category: Health Matters
Insulin is a hormone essential for regulating your carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
Its produced by beta cells in the islets of Langerhans inside your pancreas.
Insulin causes cells in your liver, muscles, and fatty tissues to take in glucose in a form known as glycogen- for more long-term life.
So now that you can see how crucial insulin is, how can you help it do its job better, particularly as you age?
Well, your body really needs to get the sugar out of your bloodstream more effectively and into the cells where it belongs- where it can do the work it was designed to do.
And of course, it would be great to increase the number of insulin “binding sites” on your body’s cells so they can improve their insulin sensitivity.
And even help support the health of your pancreas.
Insulin is the key to help unlock your healthy blood sugar levels. It also
Has a dramatic effect on your energy levels (wouldn’t it be great to recover that youthful energy you once had?)
Scientists have been busy studying centenarians, people who live to be 100 years or older.
While it seems contrary to what you’d expect, some of these people smoke, like chimney-or drink like a fish.
Some are sweet as can be; others are downright. Some eat well and exercise, while others are not exactly role models for healthy living.
So why do they live so long?
Here are the common factors researchers have discovered about centenarians, as reported by medical experts.
That’s why it’s so important to maintain your blood sugar in the normal range!
Because the roller coaster rides of blood sugar elevation may actually make you old before your time.
Too much sugar or glucose in your blood reacts with certain blood proteins to create “AGEs”- Advanced Glycosylation Endproducts.
Sounds funny, but these AGEs are related to the free radical theory of aging. Certain scientists and holistic physicians believe AGEs are related to accelerated aging throughout your body and that’s not so funny.
AGEs along with increased free radical products cause damage to your body’s cells and systems.
This is why you need an abundance of antioxidants in your system at all times to combat the accumulated damage.

So why do they live so long?
Here are the common factors researchers have discovered about centenarians, as reported by medical experts.
- They have relatively low insulin levels
- They have relatively low blood sugar levels for their age
- They have low triglyceride levels for their age
