In this video, I’m going to talk about insulin and lean muscle mass. There is a lot that happens at the cellular level that you should know.
It takes insulin to act as a key to unlock the door of the cell and allow amino acids to go into the cell to be converted to skeletal muscle protein. It’s true that we need insulin to make muscle protein.
The problem is that many people don’t understand insulin resistance. When you have insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, you have a lot of insulin, but it’s not working in the body. So, you basically have a deficiency of insulin. In this situation, you can’t get amino acids into the cells.
Consuming more carbs will just create resistance and block amino acids from being converted to muscle tissue.
Your body only needs a small amount of sugar and a moderate amount of insulin. You only need a very small amount of carbs. You need some insulin, but you don’t need to increase it by consuming carbs or sugar. You can have normal insulin levels without consuming carbs.
It takes exercise to stimulate growth hormone, which will make the amino acids convert to muscle protein. Growth hormone is triggered by high-intensity exercise with lots of recovery and sleep. You also need to consume a moderate amount of high-quality protein.
The sodium-potassium pump is the door that insulin unlocks. So, it would be best if you also consumed enough sodium and potassium to activate the pump. Sodium and potassium may also help with insulin resistance.
