Health for All says
In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology and people's great attention to health, cancer has become one of the focuses of global attention. Cancer is known as the "king of cancer" in modern society, which poses a serious threat to human life and health. In order to explore the pathogenesis and prevention methods of cancer, scientists have conducted systematic research, and the latest research results show that lowering insulin levels can help stay away from the "king of cancer".
As an important hormone, the role of insulin in glucose metabolism is widely studied and recognized. However, recent studies have found a strong relationship between insulin and cancer. High insulin levels are not only associated with obesity and diabetes, but are also strongly associated with the development of many common cancer types such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Therefore, lowering insulin levels is considered one of the important strategies for the prevention and development of cancer.
So, how do you lower your insulin levels?As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to recommend several effective methods for you from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
First and foremost, dietary regulation is key to lowering insulin levels. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diet has an important impact on human health. When it comes to cancer prevention, TCM focuses on a balanced diet and moderate eating. It is recommended to eat foods with a low GI (glycemic index), such as brown rice, whole-grain bread, vegetables and fruits, which can stabilize blood sugar and reduce insulin secretion. In addition, TCM also emphasizes avoiding excessive consumption of high-GI foods such as white rice, sweets, and desserts, as these foods can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar, stimulate large amounts of insulin secretion, and increase the risk of cancer.
Secondly, TCM emphasizes the importance of exercise in lowering insulin levels. Moderate exercise can increase the body's ability to tolerate sugar and promote insulin sensitivity. According to TCM theory, suitable exercises include tai chi, qigong, walking, etc., which can relieve tension, improve the body's immunity, and improve insulin secretion and utilization. Therefore, we can schedule our exercise reasonably and exercise moderately, thereby reducing our insulin levels.
In addition, TCM also recommends some herbs and herbal formulas to lower insulin levels. For example, herbs such as skullcap, bitter melon, and hawthorn are widely used to regulate blood sugar and insulin secretion. In addition, some famous prescriptions, such as "Nourishing Stomach Tonic Soup" and "Wuling San", have significant effects on diabetes and obesity in traditional Chinese medicine.
In summary, lowering insulin levels is one of the important strategies for cancer prevention. Through dietary regulation, moderate exercise, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, we can effectively reduce insulin levels, thereby reducing the risk of cancer. However, it should be emphasized that these methods are only used as auxiliary means and cannot completely replace the best means of modern medicine. In the process of cancer prevention, we should comprehensively use the knowledge of Chinese and Western medicine to formulate appropriate plans according to individual conditions.
