4. Improving Insulin Sensitivity
People living with blood glucose disorder; diabetes, struggle with pancreatic dysfunction. The pancreas releases insulin when it detects the presence of glucose in the bloodstream after eating a high-carb meal.
Insulin serves to mop up the excess blood sugar, reducing the amount of glucose in the blood. However, people that consistently keep their blood sugar in an elevated state, due to a poor diet high in carbs and sugar, are at risk of developing insulin insensitivity – one of the hallmarks of diabetes.
People with diabetes need regular insulin injections after meals to prevent them from falling into hypoglycemic shock, which leads to coma and death in some cases. Using nutritional yeast in your recipes improves insulin sensitivity, and enhances blood sugar regulation.
Obesity and diabetes are two social endemics sweeping the United States, with more than 100-million Americans living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Avoid the trend, clean up your diet and use nutritional yeast with your meals to keep your blood sugar manageable.
