Metro MediSpa Helps Patients with Anti-Aging Using Metformin

    WILMINGTON, NC, April 26, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Metro Medispa is a leading Anti-Aging Doctor in Wilmington North Carolina. Connie Odom, MD is a board certified physician specializing in weight loss and hormone replacement therapy.

Metformin is being hailed by many health experts as the next big wonder drug to reach the general public, and when you find out just what it can do, you will probably be inclined to agree with them.

"When I prescribe drugs and medications, though beneficial in some regards, most drugs have some kind of side effects," says Dr. Connie Odom. "Sometimes these side effects can be very unpleasant. Metformin however, is different, as it can provide numerous health benefits and so far, has been found to provide few side effects."

Primarily, metformin is prescribed to help treat type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, though, through new research, experts have found that it also does much more. Here are four surprising health benefits of the wonder-drug that is metformin.

Provides digestive health benefits - One unexpected side effect associated with metformin is it provides numerous digestive health benefits. Studies have revealed that metformin can help promote the production of healthy bacteria found within the digestive system, contributing to promoting digestion, nutrient absorption, and digestive health in general. It appears to function by helping the body to synthesize microbes and bacterium that play a fundamental role in the production of short-chain fatty acids.

Can prevent type 2 diabetes - Not only can metformin help to control and regulate type 2 diabetes, but studies have found that those suffering from pre-diabetes, can avoid the condition if they consume metformin for a prolonged duration of time. Studies have found that those at risk of type 2 diabetes, can reduce their risk of contracting the condition by as much as 31% when taking metformin.

Cognitive health benefits - Metformin has also been found to have a very positive effect on the brain, as there is evidence to suggest that the drug can provide cognitive health benefits and can help with brain cell regeneration. Experts have found that the drug can help neurons in the brain to multiply, which in turn may assist in the regeneration of brain cells in human beings.

May prevent certain cancers - While more research is required before a definitive answer is provided, there is substantial evidence which suggests that metformin can help protect against some cancers. In women, after three years of metformin supplementation, breast cancer risk factors could be cut by as much as 25%. What's more, pancreatic cancer risks have been found to have been lowered by as much as 62% in people taking metformin as opposed to those who do not take the drug.
