\"This<\/a>Known for thousands of years for its healing properties, this delicious spice is finally accepted as a powerful treatment option in modern medicine. <\/p>\n

This incredibly aromatic spice helps calm stress, fight colds and relieve migraines and inflammations. <\/p>\n

Chinese medicine practitioners long valued this spice for it\u2019s anti-clotting and brain function inducing benefits. It is also known to be a powerful preventative measure against heart diseases. <\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough, a new study confirms a long suspected truth that this spice is one of the best natural treatment option for type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n

And the amazing thing is that most of us have this \u2018natural medicine\u2019 sitting in our kitchen cabinet right now.<\/p>\n

The powerful health benefits of cinnamon powder have been confirmed in various studies throughout the years. <\/p>\n

However, Pakistani researchers wanted to investigate if cinnamon has the ability to improve triglyceride, blood glucose, HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n

For the study they recruited 60 individuals and divided them in six groups. <\/p>\n

The first three groups were instructed to consume a daily dosage of either 1-3 or 6 grams of cinnamon. The other three groups were given placebo pills. <\/p>\n

After 40 days of the study, the researchers discovered that in the three cinnamon-consuming groups, the mean fasting serum glucose was lowered by 18 to 29 percent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Triglyceride levels were reduced by 23 to 30 percent<\/strong>, LDL cholesterol by 7 to 27 percent<\/strong> and total cholesterol by 12 to 26 percent!<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was absolutely no change in glucose or triglyceride levels in the placebo groups. <\/p>\n

According to researchers, the consumption of 3 to 6 grams of cinnamon daily is very effective for lowering glucose and triglyceride levels and should be included in the diet of people suffering from type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Another study review revealed that 500 mg capsule of cinnamon taken twice daily for 3 months had beneficial effect on glycemic control and drastically improves hemoglobin A1C levels (a measurement used to find out how much glucose is attached to red blood cells) in type 2 diabetes patients. <\/p>\n

There are many ways of consuming cinnamon. It is sold in the form of powder, bark or capsules. The great news is that this spice is widely available all over the world. <\/p>\n

I would recommend choosing organic brand of cinnamon to ensure the best quality possible. <\/p>\n

Even if cinnamon brings such drastic improvements on type 2 diabetes, it may not be enough to completely reverse it.
