LOWER CHOLESTEROL NUMBERS WITH CINNAMON Abstract:Controlling of cholesterol levels is very easy with cinnamon Heart disease is a leading cause of death and diabetes is the major risk factor. Overeating and under-exercise are responsible for diabetes. High cholesterol levels,high blood pressure and smoking are considered dangerous. Smoking is nothing more than incremental suicide. Most people who have cardiovascular disease(CVD),whether they’ve had a heart attack or not, have at least one of these risk factors. And diabetes, quite apart from having the dubious distinction of being one of them, takes a terrible toll on other bodily systems and on life itself, which it makes both harder and shorter. It is worth almost any effort to prevent diabetes, or to prevent it from getting worse if you already have it. You know, of course, about the lifestyle modifications that can help accomplish that goal. And as in virtually all aspects of healthcare, it pays to find out about nutritional supplements, such as methylhydroxychalconepolymer MHCP from cinnamon, that can help. Cinnamon Also Reduces Blood Lipid Levels Cinnamon reduces blood lipid levels as well as blood glucose levels.Researchers measure the patients’ lipid levels, with the following results: Total cholesterol was reduced by 12–26%; LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) was reduced by 7–27%; HDL-cholesterol (“good Low density lipoprotein(LDL) and High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol”) was unchanged; and triglycerides (fats) were reduced by 23–30%. All three doses of cinnamon were effective in reducing the levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides, and all three showed remarkably sustained activity at the 60-day point (20 days after the treatment had stopped).An important finding researchers have found that the quantity of cinnamon does not have any significant effect on these results. Moreover, it is not known which component of cinnamon is responsible ti control the risk factors. . Spice It Up! There is a strong argument in favor of the fact that cinnamon is a very common spice that is used the world over for its excellent flavor. Thanks to modern science, we have finally learned about some of the remarkable health benefits of this ancient substance, and the “secret ingredient”—MHCP—it has been harboring in its fragrant treasure for millennia. Although “methylhydroxychalcone is a polymer” and may not roll out off the tongue, it is a substance that probably belongs in every person’s stock of nutritional supplements. So spice up your life with a daily ration of MHCP. Your blood sugar will thank you for it.
