Cinnamon
One of cinnamon most impressive health benefits is its ability to improve blood
glucose control. For example, just
half a teaspoon of cinnamon of a day has
previously been shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels,
triglycerides, LDL(bad) cholesterol, and
total cholesterol levels in people with
type 2 diabetes. The more you can make
use of natural therapies such as
nutrition and exercise ,the better your
health will be .However, as helpful as supplements like cinnamon can be,
they should not be misconstrued as cures. They are not substitutes for proper diet
and lifestyle choices. You cannot properly address your diabetes if you still
maintain sedentary lifestyle choices. You cannot properly address your diabetes
if you still maintain a sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary choices -
cinnamon supplementation or not!
Beans are a healthy choice for anyone – they’re low in fat, and offer protein
and a variety of vitamins and minerals. But they may have extra benefits for
people with diabetes because they’re
high in soluble fiber. Beans can reduce your need for insulin medications.Dr.James
Anderson, one of the early research pioneers on the health benefits of fiber,
found that people with Type 1 diabetes
were able to reduce their need for insulin by 38% just by eating beans. And for those with type 2 diabetes,
eating beans not only reduced their need for insulin and other diabetic
medications but ,in some cases, almost eliminated the need for supplemental insulin.
