The Power Of Cinnamon

The Power Of Cinnamon

More than 170 million people throughout the world suffer from
diabetes and the number continues to climb. Could it be that
many of these people could benefit from an easily accessible
product such as cinnamon?

This spice, which most of us have in our kitchen, has been
shown to have the power to cut blood sugar levels nearly as
much as statin drugs!

The magic ingredient in cinnamon is believed to be a substance
called MHCP. The MHCP is thought to be the reason cinnamon
reignites the ability of fat cells in diabetics to respond to
insulin and dramatically increase glucose removal.

In addition, two new studies reveal new evidence for the
beneficial effects of cinnamon as an anti-inflammatory agent
and support earlier research of its power as an anti-oxidant
agent and an agent able to lower cholesterol, triglycerides,
and glucose, and improve the functioning of insulin.

However, before you run out and buy a case of cinnamon, keep
the following in mind. Eating mouthfuls of cinnamon straight
from the bottle may not be the best solution. Table cinnamon is
not water soluble, which means it can build up in the body with
unknown consequences.

Also, some of the beneficial qualities of cinnamon, such as
lowering total cholesterol, only occurred by taking the capsule
form. It is believed that a person’s saliva may have some
harmful effects on cinnamon.

Do not despair; there are still plenty of benefits if you don’t
have time to get cinnamon capsules. It is my guess that most of
us will just use the cinnamon we have sitting in the cupboard.

Just a half a teaspoon a day is all you need to get the blood
sugar reducing benefits. You can also get the effect by simply
soaking a cinnamon stick in your next cup of tea.

While many type II diabetics are finding a great improvement in
their health with cinnamon supplementation, the good news does
not end with help for diabetes. Many non-diabetics are
discovering the energy boosting properties of this wonderful
spice and use cinnamon as a daily energy tonic.

There is also speculation by researchers that cinnamon can help
people with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a disease
were unusual amounts of insulin are produced by the pancreas in
response to a cancer tumor. This causes insulin resistance in
the cells and prevents the cell from getting glucose. In
theory, researchers think cinnamon might help overcome this
resistance.

Insulin resistance may also be involved in diseases such as
Alzheimer’s according to some scientists. Studies are ongoing
to test this theory.

The powers of cinnamon cannot be denied and its help for some
diabetics and pre-diabetics has been nothing short of
miraculous.

Of course, this does not mean to rush out and gorge on cinnamon
rolls and cinnamon flavored pie. There is too much sugar in that
diet. The best options are taking capsules or sprinkling a half
teaspoon of cinnamon on what you normally would eat.

Don’t forget to inform your doctor before taking cinnamon as it
might have interactions with other medications.
