Can excess fat in the liver cause type 2 diabetes?

Nearly 70% of North American adults will be diagnosed as diabetic or pre-diabetic, which can be avoided and cured with a healthy lifestyle.
Insulin sensitivity, caused by excess fat in the liver, is responsible for the majority of all cases of type II diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Fat in your liver prevents your liver from accepting sugar from the bloodstream, so you stop responding to insulin and become insulin sensitive.
The more fat you have in your liver, the greater your insulin resistance.
Some ways to prevent fat from getting in your liver include:

Some ways to prevent fat from getting in your liver include:

  1. Exercising before or after you eat. Contracting muscles remove sugar from your bloodstream without needing insulin.
  2. Eat a diet of vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, beans, nuts and other seeds.
  3. Avoid foods with added sugar and all sugared drinks including fruit juices, as well as mammal meat, processed meat, and fried foods. As you lose weight, liver fat is reduced and you become better able to respond to insulin.
  4. Get regular chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is focused on allowing your spine and nerves to work to the best of their ability, which also helps your organs to function to the best of their ability.

Make chiropractic a regular health habit for the whole family to ensure your spines and nervous systems are working the best they can.
