Cinnamon is the Wonder Spice for Health and
Wellbeing
NaturalNews.com) Cinnamon is well known as the
world's oldest spice. It has a beautiful warm aroma that makes it an inviting
ingredient to add to food. In the past Cinnamon was seen as an expensive luxury
that was used as an aphrodisiac, and as it was more expensive to buy than
silver, many people simply used it as currency. It is a wonder spice for health
and wellbeing.
Apart from its amazing taste and aroma that made it so popular for cooking
cinnamon was also used by many physicians to treat colds, coughing and sore
throats. Burning Cinnamon in your household was thought to cleanse the air and
the people within. Roman Emperor Nero took this literally and after he murdered
his wife he ordered a year's supply of cinnamon to be burnt to cleanse him of
the crime.
While burning cinnamon may not actually be able to clean out your soul modern
day research has found that this most ancient of spices is very good for your
health.
Cinnamon And Diabetes
Studies in to the effects of cinnamon on people with diabetes are at this stage
very minimal. But the extremely positive results have the medical community
screaming for larger trials. In one study conducted in the Malmo University
Hospital in Sweden, results showed that eating a meal laced with cinnamon
actually lowered the food's effects on the blood's sugar levels. The test only
included 14 people half of whom were given normal rice pudding while the other
half had rice pudding with cinnamon. They repeated the test again at a later
date and came up with the same results. The researchers led by Joanna Hlebowicz
believe that cinnamon may slow down part of the digestion process giving the
body more time to break up the carbohydrates, therefore lessening the post-meal
blood-glucose concentration.
Cinnamon And Arthritis
Another test conducted in Copenhagen seems to have found that cinnamon mixed
with honey can significantly reduce the pain associated with arthritis. The
study was conducted on 200 arthritis suffers who were all given a honey and
cinnamon mixture before they ate breakfast. All of the patients tested reported
some improvement in their pain management while 73 of those seemed to be
relieved of all pain within a month. The results have astounded the medical
community and brought hope to the thousands of chronic arthritis sufferers in
the world.
While these tests are by no means conclusive, anything that may produce a
positive result in the battle against these diseases without any nasty side
effects is definitely worth trying.
