The human body is like a large-scale processing factory, and the pancreatic islet is the “general commander” in regulating blood sugar.
When we enjoy delicious food, sugar rushes into our bloodstream, and insulin, the only hormone that lowers blood sugar in the body, helps us stabilize our blood sugar levels.
However, when cells become resistant to insulin and are unwilling to accept glucose, the body requires more and more insulin to maintain blood sugar balance. This is insulin resistance!

①Candy, candied fruit, preserved fruit:These high-sugar snacks can cause your blood sugar to rise and fall like a roller coaster, increasing your risk of insulin resistance.
②Biscuits with high sugar content: Many biscuits on the market contain a lot of sugar and their long-term consumption damages the health of the pancreatic islets.
③Ultra-processed foods:Processed foods like ice cream, burgers, and chocolate not only damage the pancreatic islets, but can also cause inflammation in the body.
④Sweet drinks:Sugary drinks such as milk tea and fruit juices are full of sugar, which can cause serious damage to the pancreatic islets.
⑤Alcohol:Excessive drinking can cause the death of pancreatic islet cells and damage the function of the pancreatic islets.
Improve insulin resistance,
Let’s start with the details of life!
