A study has shown this remarkable spice can improve the following conditions:

  • Elevated liver enzymes
  • Elevated blood fats
  • Elevated C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation)
  • Insulin resistance (syndrome X)

This is wonderful news for the millions of Americans who have a fatty liver. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of liver disease in the world. If left untreated, it raises the risk of type 2 diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.

The two biggest drivers of fatty liver are insulin resistance and oxidative stress. Insulin stimulates the liver to produce more and more fat, which accumulates within the liver. Free radical damage to the fat within the liver creates oxidative stress and ever increasing levels of inflammation within the body. Cinnamon can address both of these problems.

Cinnamon can help to make your body more sensitive to insulin; hence you won’t need to secrete as much insulin. This can improve a fatty liver and encourage weight loss from the torso. The antioxidants in cinnamon can also help to reduce inflammation in the body, thereby reducing free radical damage.

Cinnamon is also excellent for diabetics because it can help to prevent excessively high blood sugar. Luckily cinnamon is also delicious!
