Click here to watch a video to better understand the relationship between muscle and insulin resistance
- Subway cars = Muscle fibers
- People = Blood glucose
- Subway attendants = Insulin
Most of the sugar is [people are] cleared from the bloodstream [subway platform] by muscle fibers [subway cars]. Normally [in between meals or fasting], little insulin is required, but after a large carbohydrate meal [rush hour] the bloodstream [platform] is filled with sugar [people]. More insulin [subway attendants] are required to clear the sugar [people] from the blood [platform]. In this video they are ultimately successful, but if there are simply too many people, some won't get into the subway car and will be turned Free Fatty Acids and stored as Triglycerides. Alternatively, you can eat smaller amounts at more frequent intervals rather than three large meals a day. The subways/muscles should be able to handle the load. Alternatively, you can exercise and increase your muscle mass [simply add more cars to the train] and reduce the risk of insulin resistance and obesity. |
