Diabetes will be happy to know a study done with cinnamon unearthed a new correlation between diabetes and cinnamon. Diabetes is a disorder in which the secretion of insulin is improper and causes a body to incorrectly recognize the body's insulin. An increase level of glucose is a direct result of this, causing polyuria, (increased urination), and polyphagia, or increased appetite.
Diabetes is a chronic disease, and drastic lifestyle changes are required to control it. In severe cases, diabetes can damage tissues and organs, ultimately leading to death if left untreated. This necessitates a well-rounded approach to diabetes control and care. According to the current study, cinnamon has been found to activate the insulin cells, steering in better glucose absorption and utilization and thereby reducing the level of blood glucose.
The cinnamon and diabetes study was performed on patients with Type 2 diabetes. Each patient was given an experimental "dose" of cinnamon. The results were as follows: there was a clear reduction in blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol.
The control and placebo group did not show any significant improvement without the cinnamon. The effect of cinnamon on diabetic patients is clearly positive, offering a new gateway for treatment.
Cinnamon is a spice that is derived from the bark of certain evergreen trees and has been in use for many centuries. The Chinese have been credited with cinnamon use for medicinal purposes, alleviating fears regarding their efficacy. Cinnamon is usually found as rolled up pieces of bark, or 'quills,' that are used to flavor food and enhance its taste.
Half a teaspoon of cinnamon should be consumed per day for the desired effect. Patients should not eat the pieces of bark in their whole parts, rather, grinding up the cinnamon into a powder substance is more useful. Adding it to yogurt, for example, makes the food tastier. Cinnamon is rich in calcium, manganese, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. This makes cinnamon a primary candidate for a healthy dietary source.
A good diet for a diabetic patient should not be constrictive. The use of cinnamon may be included in a diabetics diet, but should be consumed in moderation to avoid overuse and adverse effects.
This study done by scientists offers new insight into the world of diabetes. It proved to be successful, showing a positive correlation, making diabetic patients at ease about their dieting choices.
