Insulin Resistance Recipes: Simple and Delicious Recipes to Lower Your Blood Sugar and Reverse Insulin Resistance Naturally: Healthy Cooking

By Monica Hamilton

Let food be thy medicine, said the ancient Greek physicians. Whenever we have a specific health issue – our first reflex should be to look at our food habits. But we don’t. Not until we get “Doctor’s Orders”.

High blood sugar and insulin resistance are more and more common in our society, and here, too, we need to let food be our medicine. Making the right choices about food, letting go of our fast-food/easy-food meals, is essential to returning to health.

One of the ways food can help is by choosing whole, natural foods that prepare from their raw state. These easy recipes can help you start – or get back into – doing that.

In this book, you will learn how to:

• Combine whole fresh foods into health-creating dishes and meals
• Use added fat healthfully
• Use spices to spice up the meal and speed up your metabolism
• Inspire yourself from “healthy regions” of the world for new and tasty recipes

Introduction

Here you are, straight from the doctor telling you that you need to make what seem to be major changes: you have high blood sugar or insulin resistance and the doctor is telling you to get it under control with a new diet and unfamiliar exercising.

High blood sugar doesn’t have to remain a problem. Insulin resistance doesn’t have to be a life-long challenge.  The ancient Greeks – mankind’s first doctors – said Let food be thy medicine. And if you choose whole, natural foods, and follow doctor’s orders about exercise and stress reduction and so on, you can create a return to health.

You are no longer living to eat, but eating to live. I hope these easy recipes from different parts of the world, all made with familiar foods from Mother Nature, will encourage you to explore even more delicious ways to return to and maintain good health!
