Cinnamon, For help to control Blood Sugar


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.
