Cinnamon Is Beneficial Against High Blood Sugar And Triglycerides

Cinnamon actually helps with diabetes and a number of infections, including candida, Escherichia coli ...

Cinnamon can rightfully be included in the column not just of spices, but of medicinal plants because of a number of health benefits it possesses. Leading in this leaf are the properties to normalize blood sugar, which makes it a suitable ingredient in the diet of diabetics and prone to diabetes, as well as to act against infections. Some types of cinnamon, such as  C. cassia (Chinese cinnamon) and C (Indonesian cinnamon), also have anticoagulant properties due to the presence of more coumarin in them. This provoked the recommendation of European experts to be careful with the amount of cinnamon (C. cassia), which is consumed, but on the other hand, gives a good additional solution to control unwanted blood clotting processes in those who have to take daily aspirin for this purpose.

Research on cinnamon so far has found the presence of 1300 beneficial substances in different types of cinnamon in total, which have the potential to improve health in one aspect or another and at least 60 specific health effects.

However, in order for the spice to be useful, experts are adamant that it must be grown on the principles of organic (bio) production and the technological processes of processing the plant product to obtain the final one must also comply with them. Cinnamon can be consumed in powder form, but its extracts can be used in aqueous solutions, alcoholic tinctures, or oil-based.

In clinical and preclinical studies demonstrating that cinnamon improves the condition in people with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes

in type 2 diabetes is improved values of fasting blood glucose, reduces glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and blood pressure, improves the absorption of blood sugar by cells in a similar way to metformin, and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin. It should not be ruled out that cinnamon also works to improve the blood lipid profile, ie if you suffer from high bad cholesterol and triglycerides, it is useful to take it regularly.



Studies involving volunteers with type 1 diabetes have shown that the herb protects against "raising blood pressure" and kidney damage associated with the disease. These patients benefit from postprandial blood sugar, which contributes to lowering blood sugar.

As for infections, you can reasonably rely on the combination of honey with cinnamon for sore throat and, in general, for common bacterial, viral, and fungal ones. Cinnamon is quite effective even in known difficult infections such as staphylococcal, including Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, swine flu (H1N1), Legionella, Klebsiella, Candida, and others, even HIV. Helps against the development of infection tick bite and acts as a repellent against mosquitoes and other insects.
