Insulin resistance refers to the condition that cells no longer respond to insulin as readily as before, so the body releases more.
Apparently, insulin resistance can be augmented by stress.

The advice I’ve read to prevent hazard from the confusion:
HTH:)

Apparently, a hot shower can promote oxytocin release in the body. One of oxytocin’s effects is to relieve anxiety.
Believe it or not, a hot shower can also cause the release of growth hormone, which promotes healing.
Apparently, a hot shower likely has true biochemical effects.

Perhaps yes: serotonin. Serotonin is believed to reduce depression and perhaps promote contentment. Its release is augmented by eating carbohydrates but not by eating protein.
Interesting, eh?

During ketosis, the body releases fat stores into the bloodstream. In the liver, the fat is transformed into ketones that cells can use for energy.
Ketosis is a natural process that normally does not pose risk to a healthy person. However, to people with health conditions – diabetes, for instance – ketosis may pose serious risk.

Jack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane, Campbell River, BC.Back in my post from March 14 I bring up cortisol, Part 0. I observe therein that cortisol is released in response to stress. Cortisol, in turn, causes a flood of glucose into the bloodstream without a corresponding increase in insulin. The reason: neither brain cells nor exercising skeletal muscle cells need insulin to take up glucose, while fat cells do. Therefore, the cortisol makes a deluge of calories available for the brain and skeletal muscles so the body can solve the stress it faces.
A consequence of cortisol is that it can suppress normal body functions in favour of the stress response. In nature, the threat would soon pass, then the stress would release and the normal body functions would resume. However, the modern, long-term stress people can face may lead to elevated cortisol long-term. Immunity, digestion, reproduction, and growth can be disrupted. Elevated cortisol, combined with adrenaline and other hormones of stress response, can eventually compromise a patient’s physical and mental health.
Exercise can help regulate stress, as well as consume the immediate calorie flood that accompanies elevated cortisol.

One rule I find interesting is the 2 hour, 4 hour rule, which refers to foods that are harmful to consume if they spoil. It focuses on time the food has spent between 5°C and 60°C, and assumes refrigeration temperature < 5°C.

From the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information, United States) point of view, licorice has observed anti-inflammatory effect.

Suggested fibre intake might be 14g per 1000 calories, or 1.4g per 100 calories. The banana offers nearly twice that amount of fibre: I’d call it a good source fibre.
