A new study links cinnamon to better blood-sugar balance, especially for those with pre-diabetes and diabetes. While experts can't fully explain the effect, they say consuming 1 to 3 grams of cinnamon a day can improve blood glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol levels. A 1-teaspoon serving will provide 2.3 grams of the sweet spice (while adding a mere 6 calories).
The spice is made from the bark of cassia trees and was first discovered in the Southeast Asian nation of Sri Lanka. It can be added to your morning coffee or hot and cold teas, put into a smoothie for variety, sprinkled on baked or fresh fruit, and even dashed onto roasted meat and rice dishes for an exotic savory twist!
