Improves blood glucose & reduces triglycerides
The spice cinnamon improves blood glucose and reduces triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL, the bad cholesterol, in patients with type 2 diabetes according to a recent study in Diabetes Care. Included in the 40-day study were 60, type 2 diabetes patients, (30 men and 30 women) with an average age of 52 years. The subjects were divided randomly into six groups. Group one consumed one gram of cinnamon daily, group two consumed 3 grams and group three consumed six grams. Groups four, five, and six were given placebo capsules corresponding to the number of capsules consumed in the three cinnamon-treated groups.
After 40 days, all three cinnamon dosages reduced the mean fasting serum glucose by 18-29 percent, triglycerides by 23-30 percent, LDL cholesterol by 7-27 percent, and total cholesterol by 12-26 percent. The placebo groups did not experience any significant benefits, indicating it was the cinnamon that achieved the positive results.
According to the researchers, the results of the study suggest that the inclusion of cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes will reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
