Insulin is one of the important regulatory hormones in the human body, which is not only involved in blood sugar regulation, but also closely related to the occurrence of cancer. High insulin levels have been called the "king of cancers" because numerous studies have found that high insulin levels are closely related to the occurrence of many cancers. The World Health Organization (WHO) also states that obesity, high blood sugar and high insulin levels are important causes of cancer.
So, how to lower insulin levels and stay away from the "king of cancer"? As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will share some methods based on Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions.
First of all, adjusting the diet is key. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dietary conditioning is the primary way to balance yin and yang in the body. Modern research has also confirmed that a reasonable diet can regulate insulin levels and prevent cancer. It is recommended to consume more high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. These foods are rich in dietary fiber, which slowly releases glucose and lowers insulin secretion. In addition, a moderate intake of high-quality proteins, such as eggs, fish, legumes, etc., can increase satiety, reduce carbohydrate intake, and thus reduce insulin secretion.
Second, exercise is an effective way to control insulin levels. Proper exercise can increase the metabolic rate of muscles and improve the body's ability to utilize glucose, thereby reducing insulin secretion. Long-term adherence to moderate aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, brisk walking, etc., can effectively prevent the occurrence of obesity and hyperinsulinemia and reduce the risk of cancer.
In addition to diet and exercise, TCM herbs can also help lower insulin levels. For example, bitter melon, known as the "insulin plant", is rich in bitter melon, which promotes the release and utilization of insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar and insulin levels. Ginseng is regarded by traditional Chinese medicine as a holy medicine that "tonifies the spleen and invigorates qi", which can not only regulate insulin secretion, but also has antioxidant and anti-tumor effects.
Mental regulation is also an important part of lowering insulin levels. Long-term stress and stress will increase the secretion of insulin. Therefore, maintaining a good attitude, arranging work and life reasonably, learning to relieve stress and adjust mood are of positive significance for maintaining healthy levels of insulin.
In summary, lowering insulin levels is the key to staying away from the "king of cancer". Dietary regulation, appropriate exercise, the application of Chinese herbal medicine, and psychological counseling are all effective methods. By making reasonable lifestyle adjustments, we can stay away from the "king of cancer" and the threat of cancer.
