==Special Precautions of Argan Oil==
You should get information about the origin of the oil and the manner in which it has been extracted. Though argan oil can be expensive, don’t opt for a bargain. Very often, an inexpensive product or oil blend will be diluted with cheap ingredients and other types of oils. If you have sensitive skin, these will eventually cause irritation.
* Insulin Resistance : Argan oil is commonly used as a treatment for diabetes in Morocco. Studies have found that argan oil decreases insulin resistance, an initiating step in the development of diabetes. In a 2006 study, Dr. Haddad reported that argan oil enhanced the cellular response to low doses of insulin, a process that gets disrupted in diabetes. According to a 2009 study published in Metabolism, consumption of argan oil also reversed the metabolic changes associated with consuming a high-sugar diet, to reduce the risk on onset of diabetes. Overall, argan oil can reduce the harmful effects of a carbohydrate-rich diet, and protect against insulin resistance to fight diabetes and help keep you healthy.
