Description

Cinnamon helps lower blood sugar levels, boost insulin sensitivity and slow down the emptying of the stomach to reduce sharp blood sugar rises after a meal. Cinnamon was also proven to improve glycemic status, especially in the levels of fasting blood glucose among type 2 diabetic patients. Cinnamon also helps stabilize HDL, but it can reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well. It also has great antioxidant capability. Fenugreek slows absorption of sugars in the stomach and stimulates insulin. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spice is known as a “phlegm mover” and is said to break up stuck energies and cool inflammation within the body. Fenugreek also boosts testosterone level in men.
