- Image via Wikipedia
Cinnamon is the most overlooked, under used and healthiest spice in the world. Yes, cinnamon is a spice that almost everyone loves, and can actually help you lose weight. Here are 3 main weight loss benefits you can expect from using cinnamon in your diet, every day.
Cinnamon….
1. Controls blood sugar levels.
A study published a few years ago split people into groups were they were taking 1,3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in a capsule form. The results showed that all 3 amounts of cinnamon reduced blood glucose levels by 18-29% after on 40 days!
2. Helps maintain insulin sensitivity.
Meaning it’s helping to control blood sugar and at the same time helping your body produce less insulin. This is good because a high insulin level means extra weight.
3. Is a powerful healthy antioxidant.
That can help you stay youthful longer. Also cinnamon can help you control blood sugar and get a leaner body.
Because of these benefits its become a very popular spice, but its important to know that when you buy your cinnamon or even a shaker bottle of it, it will have you ingesting a lot of sugar, and putting a huge dent in your weight loss goals.
Try looking for organic cinnamon without the added sugar or you can even use cinnamon tea bags to get your daily dose.
So if you want to lose more weight today, try adding cinnamon in your yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, vegetables or anything else you find.

Turmeric is another excellent spice for all types of benefits including aiding the metabolism of fat and help in weight management. But Cinnamon tastes much better!

I heard regularly drinking of Cinnamomum tea made from the bark could be beneficial to oxidative stress related illness in humans, as the plant part contains significant antioxidant potential.Cinnamon may also be an aphrodisiac.
One teaspoon of Cinnamon contains as many antioxidants as a full cup of pomegranate juice and 1/2 a cup of blueberries.
What an incredible ingredient..
