Your regular cold coffee consumption may eventually cause insulin resistance.

In a recent podcast about health, Samantha Ruth Prabhu talked about insulin resistance. In an interview with Alkesh Sharotri, Samantha explained the mechanisms underlying the emergence of insulin resistance. As a sports and performance nutritionist and wellness coach, Alkesh wears several hats. He stated that when we consume excessive amounts of sugar, our bodies store it as fat tissue because our bodies cannot handle it. When the body consumes sugary foods over an extended length of time, insulin resistance begins to develop in the body.

Insulin surges can have negative effects on our health, as Dr. Sonali Kagne, Deputy Consultant, Department of Endocrinology, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, discussed in an interview with HT Lifestyle. "Glucose, or sugar, is created when we consume food. Every single cell in our body gets its energy mostly from glucose. The bloodstream carries the glucose that is released when food is digested to different organs and cells. Only when insulin is present can glucose be used by insulin-dependent cells including the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissues. A hormone called insulin is generated by the pancreatic beta cells."

Impact of insulin surges on health:

Overweight:

Obesity is caused by high insulin levels. In patients who are obese or diabetic, it can increase morbidity and death from heart issues. It also encourages chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the heart muscles.

Inflammatory triggers:

It raises blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Extremely high triglyceride levels can occasionally cause pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. A persistently elevated cholesterol level raises the possibility that it will accumulate at the artery's inner walls, thereby impairing the organ it supplies with blood. 8. Alzheimer's disease and high insulin levels have also been connected.
