Cinnamon helps Blood Sugar

Even if you don't have diabetes, it is a good ideal to maintain a steady blood sugar rate for better health. One food seasoning that has been found to be very effective in steadying blood sugar is cinnamon. As Jean Carper puts it, in the August 3-5, 2007 issue of USA Weekend, "cinnamon is sensational." She reports that "rapidly digested foods are more likely to spike blood sugar and insulin, factors that promote diabetes and overeating." In a study conducted in Sweden, even healthy people who added a teaspoon of cinnamon to foods, were able to have lower blood glucose levels.

So, how about adding a little cinnamon to your favorite dishes, like: sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, pudding, cooked fruit, breads and muffins. If you start to think about it, you can discover various dishes that you enjoy daily, that you can add a little cinnamon to.
