Sugar, sugar!

“For those PCOS-sufferers who are insulin-resistant (about 80% of them), Quitting Sugar is the number one thing that they need to do. I often refer my sugar-addicted patients to Sarah’s blog and resources.” – Lara Briden, Naturopathic Doctor.

High sugar levels, insulin resistance is PCOS nightmare. Here's why:

1. Sugar causes our pancreas to release insulin to move the sugar into our cells to be used as energy
2. Access sugar causes insulin resistance (our cells loses the ability to respond to insulin)
3. Insulin resistance increase sugar levels and causes more insulin to be released into our blood stream.

What happens now?

1. High insulin levels causes our ovaries to produce male hormones
2. Male hormones will over power our female hormones

The outcome?

1. Weight gain
2. Infertility
3. Hair loss
4. Access hair growth
5. Acne

How do we manage this?

1. Through our diet. The best way is to cut out starchy carbs and sugar.
2. Through exercise. It is highly recommended to incorporate regular exercises daily.
3. With supplements. Polyphenols have been proven to improve insulin sensitivity and promote healthy sugar levels.

To consume polyphenols, i take Vivix (Shaklee) daily. Just 1 teaspoon a day. Not only it improve insulin sensitivity, but it also fixes your telomeres. Your body will produce healthier cells.

If you are trying to reduce your sugar levels, why not try Vivix? Cmon! Give it a shot!
