Secret of Weight Loss Finally Revealed:Part II

Honey and Cinnamon

In the ancient world, cinnamon was more precious than gold and was regarded as a gift fit for monarchs.Cinnamon has been used to alleviate indigestion, stomach cramps, intestinal spasms, nausea, flatulence  and to improve the appetite and treat diarrhea.

• Its mild anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and anti-clotting properties are believed to be due to its content of cinnamaldehyde.

• Cinnamon extracts are active against Candida albicans, the fungus responsible for vaginal yeast infection, and also Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium responsible for stomach ulcers. The antimicrobial properties of cinnamon are thought to be due to eugenol and a derivative of cinnamaldehyde.

• Cinnamon extracts have also inhibited the growth of cultured tumor cells. This effect may be due to the presence of procyanidins and eugenol in the bark extract. Cinnamon is also useful as a food preservative to inhibit the growth of common food-borne bacteria such as Salmonella and E coli.

Blood Sugar Levels Modified

• Cinnamon has been used in Korea and China as a traditional herb for treating people with diabetes.Cinnamon contains some water-soluble polyphenolic polymers derived from the antioxidant catechins. These compounds increase insulin sensitivity by enhancing insulin receptor function and increase glucose uptake.

• A study involving 60 men and women, average age 52 years, who had type 2 diabetes, were given ½ teaspoon a day of cinnamon for 6 weeks. They showed a 25 percent decrease in fasting blood glucose levels as well as a 12 percent drop in blood cholesterol levels and a 30 percent drop in blood triglyceride levels.
