In a world dominated by processed meals and sedentary lifestyles, health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and raised triglycerides are increasing. Fortunately, nature provides formidable allies. Today we’re introducing you to cinnamon, a spice that not only adds flavor to your meals but also helps regulate blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.
Why is cinnamon so powerful?
Cinnamon, particularly the Ceylon kind, has been used in traditional medicine for ages due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic benefits. What makes it so relevant today is its capacity to:
Improve insulin sensitivity.
Reduce the fasting blood glucose levels.
Lower your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Reduce triglyceride levels in the blood
What does science say?
Several studies have found that ingesting 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon per day can have a substantial impact on patients with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon was discovered in a meta-analysis published in the Journal of Medicinal Food to lower glucose, total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels, while possibly increasing HDL (good) cholesterol.
