Cinnamon...
We use it a
lot in our holiday baking
and throughout the year but
did you know it can help
regulate blood sugar and
possibly also cardiovascular
disease, pancreatic disease
and Alzheimer's?
It has also been
found to help lower blood
pressure as well.
Cinnamon has been used for
decades to help regulate
glucose levels by making
insulin more effective. The form of cinnamon used is
an Aqueous (water) extract
of the bark.
Since it has so many
protective properties,
taking cinnamon in the
powered form that we use for
baking is beneficial
as well.
There
are numerous ways to add
cinnamon into your diet.
Use about 1/2
teaspoon mixed in apple
sauce twice a day. Mix
some into your protein shake
or smoothie. Add some to
your coffee or hot
chocolate. Try some in
your oatmeal next time."
Spice
up your health with some
cinnamon.
