The Idiot Proof Diet is designed for one reason -- to make

the scale go down dramatically. And guess what? There

are NO specific calorie limits on this diet, you may eat

until you feel " satisfied " at every meal, no matter what.

Dear Diana,

 

Here is your latest health tip on the topic of...

 

Cinnamon Helps Stop Type 2 Diabetes

 

By Mike Hodge

 

American scientists have claimed that a teaspoon of

cinnamon a day may help prevent the onset of diabetes.

 

The common spice could help millions of sufferers of

Type II, non-insulin dependent diabetes. This condition

usually develops in middle-age and prematurely kills

100 million people around the world every year. Type II

diabetes causes cells to lose their ability to respond

to insulin, the hormone that tells the body to remove

excess glucose in the bloodstream. If glucose builds up

in the blood, tiredness, weight-loss and blurred vision

are some of the resulting symptoms. In extreme cases

this can lead to blindness, heart disease and premature

death.

 

Data from the Agricultural Research Unit in Maryland

was first published in the New Scientist in August

2000. The researchers found that cinnamon rekindled the

ability of fat cells in diabetics to respond to insulin

and greatly increased glucose removal. It is believed

that a substance in cinnamon called MHCP is the main

reason for its beneficial results.

 

When mice were given MHCP, their glucose levels fell

dramatically and tests on humans have begun this year.

The researchers are so confident that cinnamon will

have the same dramatic effect of reducing insulin

tolerance in humans they recommend that type II

diabetics should take a quarter to one full teaspoon of

cinnamon per day.

 

Many Type II diabetics have already found a new feeling

of well-being and improvement in health by using this

simple cinnamon supplementation in their diet. Cinnamon

has long been known as an " energizing " spice, and it is

likely that increasing the intake of this common and

cheaply available food will benefit even non-diabetics,

if used as a daily energizing tonic.

 

The insulin resistance that leads to type II diabetes

develops relatively slowly as the body ages and even

those who have not yet experienced severe symptoms may

have some degree of elevated insulin resistance.

 

Cinnamon is also a rich source of magnesium, which is

essential for maintaining bone density, electrolyte

balance, certain enzyme functions and many other

crucial biochemical processes. Magnesium is also linked

to the more dramatic forms of diabetes that occur

earlier in life.

 

Much research has been carried out to establish a

metabolic defect in diabetics that prevents the

absorption of magnesium. As cinnamon provides a readily

available source of MHCP, magnesium and possibly other

beneficial substances it seems like a very cost-

effective way of offsetting future health problems

related to glucose/insulin imbalances as we grow older.

 

Cinnamon can be bought inexpensively in a convenient

powdered form at almost any food shop and taking it

couldn't be easier: just use up to a teaspoon a day in

milkshakes or fruit juice.

 

I personally take a half-teaspoon daily in this way

every morning and can confirm a distinct energy

benefit. Diabetics should always inform their doctor

before taking cinnamon as it may affect medication

requirements.
