1 Little Spice That Can Have A Big Impact On Your Weight
Part of losing weight is figuring out what is good for your body and eating those foods
. It really is that simple. But it can be hard to figure out which foods are good when we are told so many different things by all the "experts" out there. Here's a little spice that is very common, but it can have some great weight loss producing effects.
What is this magical little spice?
Cinnamon!
In the medical journal Diabetes Care, they did a study to see what cinnamon would do in your body regarding blood sugar levels. They found that eating a quarter teaspoon to a teaspoon of cinnamon per day effectively reduced blood sugar levels.
It can also help to keep your body from producing excess insulin, basically meaning that it helps control your blood sugar levels. And you may know that when your blood sugar gets high it produces insulin, which greatly promotes fat gain. (In everyone, not just diabetics)
Cinnamon can also help with cravings too. By keeping your blood sugar in check you shouldn't have huge swings down that cause your body to crave refined carbs.
Plus cinnamon is packed with antioxidants which have other health benefits. Antioxidants fight the natural oxidation process that goes on in our bodies every day. Left unchecked, it can cause serious health problems. But eating foods high in antioxidants like cinnamon can help keep it regulated.
You'd be surprised the little foods that can cause big differences to occur in your body. Keep learning about your body and losing weight will become easier than you might have thought.
