Cinnamon And Diabetes by Robert Miller

[Guest guest]

Quite an interesting article I read yesterday on Cinnamon and Diabetes.

I did not know that Cinnamon has such good benefits too. If you have

more information on this, please feels free to contribute so it can

benefit the whole group.

 

Recently, a surprising link was established between using cinnamon and

the prevention of some diabetes symptoms. It has commonly been known

that cinnamon helps with energy. Now it would seem that cinnamon can be

a low cost addition to help strengthen a diabetes regimen. Funded by the

Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation, or DAREF, Dr. Richard

Anderson performed a study at the United States Department of

Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center to examine possible useful

effects of cinnamon in diabetes. Mr. Anderson was able to actually

isolate the compound in cinnamon that is responsible for some of the

positive aspects of cinnamon for diabetics.

 

The compound which feature specific Type-A polymers, was found to

effectively lower blood sugar in diabetics. Additionally, Type-A

polymers were discovered to decrease a patient's total cholesterol by up

to 26 percent. Low density lipoproteins, commonly known as the bad

cholesterol, were lowered 10 to 24 percent by the intake of the

polymers, while triglycerides were decreased by 23 to 30 percent.

 

This research is of the utmost importance to diabetics. Even more

important may be the effects that this compound can have on the millions

of people who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. It can help to

delay the diabetes' onset, and can a person time to learn about the

condition and how to keep it from significantly affecting your health.
