Cinnamon

Who doesn’t love to sprinkle a little cinnamon on oatmeal or morning late? Cinnamon is not only tasty, but it is also quite beneficial to our health.

High Blood sugar

Cinnamon has been shown to be of great value in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Cinnamon mimics the effects of insulin and has a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has found that taking 3 to 6 grams of cinnamon per day can lower glucose levels in people with Type 2 diabetes.

High Cholesterol

Scientists have found evidence that cinnamon helps lower lipid levels. Just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day may help you lower triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels.
