6. It Improves Insulin Resistance
Improved insulin resistance is a serious problem if it points toward diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that the body uses in order to extract glucose from the blood when levels are high and then either use that to provide extra energy or to store as fat.
The problem is that low insulin sensitivity means that your body doesn’t properly use the sugar that’s in the body. As such, you don’t get to use it when you need it – when you’re active or when the levels are very high. Thus you might feel very tired and lethargic but still find yourself gaining weight over time! Eventually, this can lead to diabetes. Among other things, diabetes causes levels of sugar to become so high in the blood that it becomes highly toxic and begins to damage the nerves and impair organ function.
So if lemon really can improve insulin resistance (and more studies need to be conducted before this can be confirmed) then that would make it hugely beneficial for those trying to lose weight and even more so for those that are at high risk of diabetes.
