Spice slashes Blood Sugar

Spice slashes blood sugar in just 12 weeks By Dr. Allan Spreen on 12/27/2010 google_protectAndRun("render_ads.js::google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad); If you're diabetic, there's one simple change you can make to your routine to improve your blood sugar control: Eat more cinnamon.

That alone could make the difference in how well you manage your blood sugar. In fact, a recent study published in the journal Diabetic Medicine found that cinnamon significantly improves blood sugar in just 12 weeks...plus, it even improves blood pressure in diabetics who take it every day!

World's oldest spice has many health benefits

I've written before about the benefits of cinnamon. It is one of the oldest spices known to man and has been used medicinally for thousands of years. In fact, cinnamon contains powerful polyphenols, which have been shown to:

• Boost brain function
• Thwart infections
• Zap bacteria
• Speed healing
• Relieve menstrual pain
• Improve circulation
• Soothe gastrointestinal discomfort

Cinnamon is also beneficial to anyone at risk for heart disease or stroke...and that covers just about everyone! Cinnamon contains oils that naturally thin the blood. In fact, these compounds prevent platelets from clumping together in your arteries, so unwanted blood clots don't tend to form. Cinnamon also contains compounds that effectively reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and slash triglycerides.
