Cinnamon & Diabetes
A 12-week London study was recently conducted involving 58 type 2 diabetics with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels over 7 percent. Hemoglobin A1c is a marker for longterm glycemic control in diabetics.After 12 weeks on 2g of cinnamon per day, study subjects had significantly lower HbA1c levels, as well as significantly reduced blood pressures (systolic, SBP and diastolic, DBP).
The researchers’ conclusion:
“Intake of 2g of cinnamon for 12 weeks significantly reduces the HbA1c, SBP and DBP among poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Cinnamon supplementation could be considered as an additional dietary supplement option to regulate blood glucose and blood pressure levels along with conventional medications to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.”
Among this spice's most impressive health benefits is its impact on blood sugar and ability to improve glucose control.
For example, just half a teaspoon of cinnamon 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.
Another study found that the spice increased glucose metabolism by about 20 times, which would significantly improve your ability to regulate blood sugar. Cinnamon has even previously been indicated as a potential insulin substitute for those with type 2 diabetes due to a bioactive component with "insulin-like" effects.
30 Day Diabetes Plan
Almost every single person who has dedicated 30 days to this protocol has seen their diabetes completely disappear. Take the 30 day challenge and watch your diabetes melt away. You must follow this protocol exactly as written if you want to get rid of your diabetes in 30 days, no exceptions. If you are unable to do everything, then your results might come a little slower, and it might take 2-6 months.Before I describe the plan, there are a few assumptions I make:
• You don't smoke or chew tobacco
• You don't drink soda/soft drinks or eat at fast food restaurants
• You don't use recreational drugs
• You don't drink alcohol
• You don't drink more than a cup of coffee a day
If you do any of these things you are creating the perfect environment for the development of diabetes, and thus I highly recommend you avoid them.
The list below is pretty much the absolute best that you can possibly do to destroy diabetes fast. If you decide to implement everything that is written, then you are a true warrior of your health, you will see the results quicker than anyone, and you will achieve a healthy glowing and beautiful body in no time.
For some it may not be as easy so please remember to take it slow and do what you feel is best for you. Start slowly, see and feel the result, then continue to add further changes. Do what you can, as best you can, you don’t have to overwhelm yourself.
For you to reap the full benefits of your health and wellbeing, never get sick or develop disease, the following list should become a lifestyle commitment and not just a temporary measure.
No junk fats. This is the main reason why diabetes occurs. You must never eat trans fats, hydrogenated fats, fried or heavily processed fats, canola oil, soy oil, margarine, crisco, etc. (You can learn more about these fats and how to avoid them in the full 7 Steps to Health book)
Yes Foods
The following foods are a diabetes fighting arsenal and you can eat them as much as you like.1. Raw, whole, fresh fruits and vegetables. The easiest way to stay healthy is to pack your meals with at least 50% raw foods. Every meal should be at least half made of raw fruits or vegetables. Spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers,tomatoes, peppers, radishes, squash, carrots, leeks, sprouts etc. Buy them organic if you can.
2. Good Fats and Oils. The only oils that should go anywhere near your plate are flax oil, hemp oil, coconut oil, and some olive oil due to the fact that your cells walls are hard, rigid, and don't allow nutrients, insulin, or oxygen to flow in and out. If you want to get rid of diabetes and other diseases, you must never consume trans fats, hydrogenated fats, and regular vegetable oils like canola or soy.
This includes all regular pastries, cakes, cookies, fast foods, pre-packaged foods, TV dinners, and mostly everything found in a grocery store. This is the reason the diabetes epidemic grows exponentially in our country, because there is simply no good fats found in our foods. Good fats and oils are your main weapon against diabetes!
