17. Consider Some Cinnamon Extract
Cinnamon extract is a powerful supplement, and it has many health benefits. It has been shown to make insulin sensitivity better, and it has been shown to decrease insulin resistance at the cellular level. It actually slows down the breakdown of carbs.
Cinnamon also acts sort of similar to insulin, but it is much slower. An effective dose is anywhere between 1-6 grams, but don’t take too much, because it can be harmful. There are lots of ways to get cinnamon into your diet. Cinnamon is delicious, too. It can make your favorite meals and beverages taste better.
Researchers have been shown for a long time what Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said thousands of years ago, which was, “Let food be thy medicine.” Scientists are learning about new foods, supplements, herbs, and plants all the time that have a powerful, positive effect on our health. Pick up some cinnamon extract, apple cider vinegar, and fenugreek seeds the next time you’re at the health food store.
