A Spice to
help control blood sugar. Use cinnamon
in smoothies, in yogurt, oatmeal, or soup before any meals that are going to
have more than 35 grams of carbohydrates.
Keep in mind that if you
take medications, you need to consult with your doctor to make sure that
cinnamon use does not interfere with the medications (especially with blood
thinners). About 4 grams per day
(about 1.5 teaspoons) is probably the max amount of cinnamon that anyone should
take.
And remember that yet
another benefit of maintaining lower blood sugar levels is that you help to SLOW the aging process, since high
blood sugar levels over time increase glycation in your body, which ages you
faster.
