KNOWLEDGE IS POWER: When our METABOLISM works properly the pancreas secrets insulin & it along with sugar (glucose)travels to the LIVER where it is converted into FAT. The FAT will get used as fuel to energize the body.
INSULIN balances the blood sugar by carrying the glucose to the cells in the LIVER to be used or stored. INSULIN decides which. INSULIN must be present for food to be stored as FAT.INSULIN Resistance means the cells are filled with excess energy which will show up as FAT on our body. Control the INSULIN & we control our weight!!!
