Can Sex Help Reverse Diabetes?

It's way late night so I thought it would be a good time to introduce this provocative topic :-)

I've written about the importance of reducing stress in reversing your diabetes before. When humans are stressed out, a very powerful hormone called cortisol surges. It has been shown that if cortisol remains high all the time, it causes insulin resistance. To put this another way, cortisol contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Cortisol can also interfere with your efforts to reverse diabetes. Even if you modify your diet and get plenty of exercise, if you remain overly stressed out, it will be very difficult for you to reverse diabetes because you'll have too much cortisol pumping through your system.

Now for the good news -- great news really!

When humans have sex, cortisol is dramatically lowered almost instantly. So, in answer to the question, "Can sex help reverse diabetes?" Yes, most definitely, and this is the key to it.

Sex not only lowers cortisol, but the "feel good" oxytocin surges with reciprocal intimate touching between partners. This physical and emotional connection greatly reduces stress which in turn reduces cortisol which in turn paves the way for the reversal of your diabetes. When you lower stress, you lower one of the main hormones that causes insulin resistance.

So, the next time your significant other is resisting the amorous mood, you can let them know that you really need their help in reversing your diabetes ;-)
