Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your most common questions
- Can health be measured?
- Health still cannot be precisely measured by a single parameter. There are various criteria that indicate health status, such as blood test results or lung capacity, but there is no single measure for overall health.
- Does training help with insulin resistance?
- Yes, training significantly helps with insulin resistance. Physical activity is one of the proven ways you can increase cellular insulin sensitivity.
- How do bad habits affect insulin levels?
- Alcohol, smoking, and caffeine have the same effect - increased insulin secretion. These habits lead to hyperinsulinemia and depletion of serotonin stores, which further complicates the fight against insulin resistance.
- How do different foods affect blood glucose levels?
- Foods that digest quickly (such as sugar from juice or potatoes) rapidly raise blood glucose levels. In contrast, foods rich in fiber (such as green salad) cause very small changes in blood glucose levels.
- How do the requirements for mobility and stability differ for different parts of the back?
- Hips require a higher level of mobility. The lower back requires stability. The thoracic spine requires mobility. The cervical spine requires both abilities in equal measure.
- How does biorhythm affect insulin secretion?
- Biorhythm significantly affects insulin secretion. Humans are diurnal "animals," and continuous night shift work has proven to be one of the most detrimental things for human health. The dark period (from 9 PM to 6 AM) is most suitable for sleep and body recovery.
- How does insulin resistance affect hormones in women?
- In women, elevated insulin levels lead to increased testosterone levels, which diminish estrogen effects. This affects the absence of ovulation and increased progesterone production. All this together leads to menstrual cycle irregularities in women or cycles without ovulation.
- How does insulin resistance affect other hormones in the body?
- Insulin resistance can lead to hormonal imbalance. Hormones are chemical substances through which all cells in the body communicate. If any hormone is elevated, it will affect normal communication and all other hormones.
- How does insulin resistance develop?
- Increased insulin levels lead to cellular energy oversaturation, so cells begin to reject insulin - they become resistant. The body then starts producing larger amounts of insulin to "force" energy into the cell, and it fights back even more. This creates a vicious cycle.
- How does physical activity affect insulin sensitivity?
- Physical activity has both acute and chronic effects on improving insulin sensitivity. Aerobic training ("cardio") has a short-term positive effect, while strength training and higher intensity training provide significantly better and longer-lasting effects.
- How does stress affect insulin levels?
- Elevated stress levels lead to increased insulin levels. A moderate amount of stress can lead to positive adaptations, but excessive stress makes the body vulnerable and can lead to illness, including disorders in insulin regulation.
- Is training alone sufficient to fight insulin resistance?
- No, training alone is not sufficient. Along with strength training, changes in nutrition and lifestyle habits are needed. Exercise without weight loss helps regulate blood sugar levels in IR, but these effects are lost as soon as training is stopped.
- What are the consequences of insulin resistance?
- The cell rejects insulin (and thus energy), excess energy goes into fat deposits, and the hunger signal does not disappear - the person remains hungry. IR precedes the development of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis.
- What does spinal vitality mean?
- Spinal vitality is reflected through two qualities - stability and mobility which must be in balanced relationship. Stability is provided by the combined action of several muscle groups, while mobility relates to joints and the tissues surrounding them.
- What effects do different types of training have on insulin resistance?
- Aerobic training ("cardio") has a good but short-term effect on insulin sensitivity. Strength training ("weights", "bodyweight") and higher intensity training provide significantly better and longer-lasting effects. The cumulative effects of strength training form the basis for "curing" insulin resistance.
- What factors increase insulin concentration in the body?
- Insulin concentration increases when you are under stress, lack sufficient physical activity, consume simple sugars (sweets, snacks, processed food), caffeine, alcohol, medications, opiates, or when you smoke.
- What is body fat percentage and why is it important?
- Body fat percentage is a measure that shows what portion of body mass consists of fat tissue. It is important because it represents a more precise indicator of body structure and health than the Body Mass Index (BMI) alone.
- What is Body Mass Index (BMI) and how reliable is it?
- Body Mass Index (BMI) is the ratio of height and weight calculated by dividing body mass (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters). For example, 100kg / (1.9m x 1.9m) = 27.7 kg/m². BMI is a good indicator of the general status of a large group, but a poor indicator of individual status because it does not take body composition into account.
- What is insulin and how does it function in the body?
- Insulin is a hormone that the body produces in the pancreas. Under its action, all cells of our body are nourished.
- What is insulin resistance (IR) and when does it usually occur?
- Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition that occurs with normal aging - almost every person aged 80 years, regardless of gender, has IR. However, IR is beginning to appear in younger people, from 40, 30 and even 25 years old.
- What is the "vicious cycle" of insulin resistance?
- Over time, elevated insulin levels cause tissues to begin defending against it. Cells become insulin-resistant, and the pancreas secretes more insulin trying to lower blood glucose levels. This leads to a new condition - hyperinsulinemia, or increased insulin levels.
- What is the connection between insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
- Insulin resistance and PCOS are very closely interconnected. Every woman who has PCOS has reduced insulin sensitivity, and every woman who has IR has a high chance of developing PCOS. Genetics plays a significant role in PCOS occurrence, but it doesn't have to be decisive for infertility.
- What is the key to solving insulin resistance problems?
- The key lies in the "trinity" - a combination of training, proper nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits. This approach can solve many health problems arising from a fast-paced lifestyle.
- What is the main cause of back pain?
- From practice, 80% of back pain arises from lack of movement and physical exertion, while the remaining 20% occurs due to inadequate, poor movement, most often within some type of sports activity.
- What is the OGT test and what does it measure?
- The OGT (Oral Glucose Tolerance) test evaluates how your body responds to elevated blood glucose levels. During testing, the two most important parameters are the sugar (glucose) level and insulin level in the blood sample.
- What is the role of glucose in the body?
- Glucose serves as the body's energy source. Without it, the brain and internal organs would not be able to function normally. It is obtained from the food we eat or from our own energy reserves (fat, muscles).
- What is the role of insulin in the body?
- Insulin is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels after meals. Without insulin, cells would not receive energy and substrates for maintenance and growth. However, improper, excessive, or insufficient nutrition can lead to excessively high insulin concentrations in the blood.
- Why is strength training particularly beneficial for insulin resistance?
- Strength training activates more muscles, resulting in a greater number of insulin receptors, reducing the possibility of insulin resistance occurrence. The formula is: more active muscles = more insulin receptors = less possibility of IR occurrence.
