Why is Insulin Important?
Insulin is an important and necessary hormone and many essential functions. Without insulin, the body cells cannot absorb the glucose from the bloodstream, and the cells will be unable to make use of the calories from food. Insulin slows or suppresses certain processes like Gluconeogenesis, a process of formation of glucose and other carbs from non-carbodydrate sources; Lipolysis is the breakdown of fat; Glycogenolyiss is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose; Ketosis happens when body produces ketone bodies through a low carb diet; Protein synthesis. Insulin is one of the most important hormones in the body.
It seems that insulin regulates the most important process pertaining to our bodies...food and the how we process it and use it for energy. Without the proper control of insulin levels we grow fat and sick. We create inflammation in our bodies, the inflammation directly relates to high insulin levels. Inflammation is the underpinning of all illnesses from Parkisons Disease to Diabetes.
