Dr. Mike Pritsker is a chiropractic doctor at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego. As a chiropractor, he regularly reviews different research with his patients. In the following article, he reveals some of the latest exercise and health research. According to a Study published in the Journal of Physiology that was published on November 1, 2010, a fat-rich energy dense diet is an important cause of insulin resistance in the body.
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas and it helps the cells of the body absorb glucose. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it properly. When people are insulin resistant, their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond properly to insulin. As a result, their bodies need more insulin to help glucose enter cells. The pancreas produces more and more insulin until it basically gets worn out and starts to fail. This can lead to diabetes.
How is all of this linked to exercise? According to the study's author, "This study is for the first time showing that fasted training is more potent than fed training to facilitate adaptations in muscle and to improve whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity during hyper-caloric fatrich diets." This is very important to know.
Generally after working out in the morning, the day seems to be more productive. In other words, the best time to work out seems to be on an empty stomach, which is usually first thing in the morning. Working out in the morning also has some additional benefits. And of course it's always great to start off the day knowing that you got a healthy workout out of the way.
