A post about the potential benefits of Cinnamon and body fat

Ok, this spice that I’m going to mention is widely overlooked, but of the  
healthiest spices in the world…

 You might call it a “fat burning spice”… in a roundabout way.

 Yes, it can actually help you win the battle against abdominal fat if you use
it daily…let me explain why.

  So what is this miracle spice?

 Well… it’s good old tasty Cinnamon!

 Although cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (such as by increasing
metabolic rate, etc), it CAN actually help you to burn off abdominal fat and get
leaner through an indirect link.

 Here’s how…

 Cinnamon has many health benefits, the main benefit that will help
you to get leaner is through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in
your body.

 In a study published in 2003 in the medical journal Diabetes Care, groups were
split into people taking 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form
(the equivalent of approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

 The results of the study showed that all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced fasting
blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

 Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity, which essentially means that it is
helping your body to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing your body
to produce less insulin.

 As you know, chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the body fat.

 One of the best ways to benefit from cinnamon to lose more fat is to use cinnamon daily in your meals when you can, such as in yogurt or cottage cheese, in
smoothies, oatmeal, or anything else you can think of where it would go well.

 Also, you could use a cinnamon capsule before each of your meals.

 This could help to control blood sugar and insulin response from your meals and
thereby control your appetite and cravings throughout the day… hence, helping
you to lose body fat more effectively over time.

 So now you can see that not only is cinnamon a powerful antioxidant that can
help you stay youthful longer, it can also help you to control blood sugar and get
a leaner body!

 It also assists to:

*controls blood sugar levels

*helps maintain insulin sensitivity

*a powerful antioxidant

 Note: please make sure to consult your doctor before adding any new foods or
spices to your nutrition plan if you are taking any medications or have food allergies.
