			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all seen a great deal about using vitamin supplements to increase your wellness and enhance your lifestyle. Supplements like <a href="http://www.sawpalmetto.org" target="_blank">Saw Palmetto</a>, Ginkgo Biloba, Omega-3 among others have been touted as being beneficial for a lot of ailments and conditions. But, have you ever heard of Cinnamon as a well being supplement? Well, recent research has indicated that cinnamon may well be advantageous in a lot of areas and particularly with regard to diabetes and weight loss. </p>
<p>It turns out that Cinnamon seems to have the ability to lower blood sugar amounts and increase the body&#8217;s natural creation of insulin. One study found that there was almost a 30% drop in the participants glucose levels when consuming cinnamon. There was also a lowering of their triglyceride amounts. As you might know, starches and sugars are broken down within the body into glucose.&nbsp; This glucose is then employed as energy to power your body and all it&#8217;s functions. The glucose can also be modified and stored as fat. Insulin helps manage the glucose level in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, over time, most all of us will lose some sensitivity to insulin because of age. This means that our blood glucose amounts can become greater then they should be. Cinnamon includes polyphenols or anti-oxidants that may help regulate glucose levels which might be valuable for those with diabetes or glucose intolerance. Actually, one researcher stated that cinnamon may perhaps have an effect almost as impressive as statin drugs which are employed by millions of individuals to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.</p>
<p>How should you get cinnamon into your regular diet? Well, researchers have suggested a half teaspoon per day but it&#8217;s important to use the right cinnamon. You will find two types of cinnamon &#8211; Ceylon and Cassia. The big difference between the two is that Ceylon cinnamon has far less coumarin in it then Cassia cinnamon does. Coumarin operates as an anti-coagulant and can cause liver inflammation if consumed in higher amounts. So, Ceylon cinnamon is the preferred cinnamon.&nbsp; Nonetheless, coumarin isn&#8217;t water soluble so a water extract of cinnamon may possibly be the ideal approach. With some research you ought to be able to locate a cinnamon supplement that&#8217;s a water extract.</p>
<p>So, while you may hear a lot about a lot more exotic supplements like <a href="http://www.sawpalmetto.org/beta-sitosterol.php" target="_blank">beta-sitosterol</a> and omega-3 fish oil always remember that that favorite holiday spice, cinnamon, can be helpful too. Just be sure to use it in moderation and always in a water extract form not in the powdered form.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve recently heard from your doctor that your cholesterol levels are too high, you&#8217;ve probably also been told it&#8217;s time to change your eating habits so you can lower them.
But you may be asking, &#8220;Exactly how do I do&#160; that? What foods will help me lower my cholesterol? What foods can I eat? What [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve all seen a great deal about using vitamin supplements to increase your wellness and enhance your lifestyle. Supplements like <a href="http://www.sawpalmetto.org" target="_blank">Saw Palmetto</a>, Ginkgo Biloba, Omega-3 among others have been touted as being beneficial for a lot of ailments and conditions. But, have you ever heard of Cinnamon as a well being supplement? Well, recent research has indicated that cinnamon may well be advantageous in a lot of areas and particularly with regard to diabetes and weight loss. </p>
<p>It turns out that Cinnamon seems to have the ability to lower blood sugar amounts and increase the body&#8217;s natural creation of insulin. One study found that there was almost a 30% drop in the participants glucose levels when consuming cinnamon. There was also a lowering of their triglyceride amounts. As you might know, starches and sugars are broken down within the body into glucose.&nbsp; This glucose is then employed as energy to power your body and all it&#8217;s functions. The glucose can also be modified and stored as fat. Insulin helps manage the glucose level in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, over time, most all of us will lose some sensitivity to insulin because of age. This means that our blood glucose amounts can become greater then they should be. Cinnamon includes polyphenols or anti-oxidants that may help regulate glucose levels which might be valuable for those with diabetes or glucose intolerance. Actually, one researcher stated that cinnamon may perhaps have an effect almost as impressive as statin drugs which are employed by millions of individuals to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.</p>
<p>How should you get cinnamon into your regular diet? Well, researchers have suggested a half teaspoon per day but it&#8217;s important to use the right cinnamon. You will find two types of cinnamon &#8211; Ceylon and Cassia. The big difference between the two is that Ceylon cinnamon has far less coumarin in it then Cassia cinnamon does. Coumarin operates as an anti-coagulant and can cause liver inflammation if consumed in higher amounts. So, Ceylon cinnamon is the preferred cinnamon.&nbsp; Nonetheless, coumarin isn&#8217;t water soluble so a water extract of cinnamon may possibly be the ideal approach. With some research you ought to be able to locate a cinnamon supplement that&#8217;s a water extract.</p>
<p>So, while you may hear a lot about a lot more exotic supplements like <a href="http://www.sawpalmetto.org/beta-sitosterol.php" target="_blank">beta-sitosterol</a> and omega-3 fish oil always remember that that favorite holiday spice, cinnamon, can be helpful too. Just be sure to use it in moderation and always in a water extract form not in the powdered form.</p>
