Cinnamon Diabetes
The body has a mechanism – cells, breaking down glucose which we don’t use. Cells lose their ability to respond to insulin helping to break down the glucose in type II diabetes. That is the hormone that tells the body to remove excess glucose in the bloodstream. Symptoms like weight-loss, tiredness and blurred vision occur when glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Blindness, heart diseases and premature death occur in extreme cases.
Preventing the mentioned symptoms of type II diabetes, researchers found that cinnamon can help to restore fat cells so that it can respond to insulin for the removal of increased glucose. The substance in cinnamon responsible for this is MHCP. Successful research had already been done on mice where it helped their glucose levels to fall dramatically. This year research started on human beings. With research still on in human beings researchers recommend that those with type II diabetes take one quarter to a full teaspoon of cinnamon every day. Those taking cinnamon as a supplement can already testify of an improvement in their health.
Cinnamon is also popular for energy from which diabetics as well as non-diabetics can benefit. A quarter to a full teaspoon cinnamon in milkshakes or juices per day is prescribed for type II diabetics.
Another feature of cinnamon is its richness in magnesium. Bone density electrolyte balance and enzyme functions all depend on magnesium. Loss thereof as one grows older can be taken in again through cinnamon. It also restores glucose or insulin imbalances.
Type II diabetics develop round about middle-age and prematurely kills millions of people all over the world every year. The glucose that builds up also leads to very high cholesterol levels which is the major cause of heart attacks and heart diseases. Cinnamon’s MHCP ingredients help to control these levels.
As cinnamon is an inexpensive, readily available spice in food stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets it seems as if research wants to have that there is a new cure to an old illness.
Diabetics should consult, or at least inform their doctor before they start taking cinnamon because it may affect their medication requirements.
