Persisting high insulin sensitivity among middle - aged and older individuals in non-westernized traditional populations at a time when they still maintained their ancestral lifestyle, such as the African pygmies, the Ainu people of Japan, rural communities in Papua New Guinea, and traditional Pacific Islanders.
It is our speculation by
maintaining high insulin sensitivity, when carbohydrates are brought back during competition the slight insulin response actually speeds delivery of glucose to cells and conversion of glucose to ATP without seriously impacting high level fat metabolism.
It notes: «In a study of 331 very old patients, mean (SD) age 85 (7) years, low BMI, low diastolic blood pressure, low total and HDL cholesterol and
high insulin sensitivity predicted total mortality, indicating a «reverse metabolic syndrome» that is probably attributable to malnutrition and / or chronic disorders which have a negative impact on survival [1].»
HIS means:
High Insulin Sensitivity, a condition that occurs after twenty minutes of intense training and lasting up to an hour after training.
High insulin sensitivity is good because it allows the muscles to take up more carbs.
They now have a Pure Whey Fusion which has some more carbs in to allow for faster transport to the muscle during H.I.S. (
High Insulin Sensitivity), and seems to have the same amount of protein in it.
What this means is that when you have
high insulin sensitivity, you are able to eat carbohydrates without such a large rise in insulin.
This has a strong effect of blunting the glycemic load and thus maintaining low basal insulin levels and
high insulin sensitivity.
Our speculation is VESPA keeps the athlete «locked into» high level fat metabolism even when concentrated carbohydrates are introduced back into the diet and during fueling and
the high insulin sensitivity gained from the physiological shift to the «Fat - Adapted metabolic State» allows the carbs to be quickly and sustainably be converted to energy for only the very peak part of the aerobic spectrum and any surges into the anaerobic spectrum of metabolism.
Intermittent Fasting as it applies to «Strategic Carbohydrates»: Because IF maintains the Fat - Adapted Metabolic state, this by default will maintain low insulin levels and
high insulin sensitivity.
People with
a higher insulin sensitivity have better glucose control and ultimately, lower rates of diabetes.
Many studies have found that eating a diet rich in plant compounds is linked to
higher insulin sensitivity (39, 40, 41, 42).
Same question goes for breakfast sugars (nutella, maple syrup), are they that bad when consumed in
a high insulin sensitivity state?
