During the nutrition lecture at the CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course, CrossFit Seminar Staff member Dennis Marshall explains that the current problem with the standard American diet is the over-consumption of carbohydrates. “Too much insulin in the bloodstream—that’s what hyperinsulinemia refers to,” Marshall says, exploring the problem further. Hyperinsulinemia is a common element among a variety of chronic diseases such as obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, heart disease and diabetes. |
