While traveling on the journey which I call the Road to Health, a fellow traveler introduced me to something which many (including myself) have reported to lower blood sugar levels. This is something most of us probably have on our spice rack in our kitchens. Know what it is? Cinnamon!
I still drink cinnamon tea until this day. It tastes good and can even satisfy cravings for sweets. An added benefit is the delicious aroma which fills the home while boiling it.
I usually make a pot full. I use the cinnamon sticks and boil them for about 15 minutes. For a full pot I use 3 or 4 sticks.
Here's a link to a technical article regarding cinnamon. Enjoy and should you choose to follow this recipe, please let me know how you like it and if it's assisting you with your blood sugar levels.

I do the same thing, and love to chew on the sticks, when they're softened. Lots of value as they go into the bloodstream, and regulate our blood sugar, and serve as a natural anti-bacterial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Dr. Salvato and also for the tip. Chewing on the cinnamon sticks sounds like a healthy treat!
