A Spicy Way to Lose Weight

Want to add a little spice to your food while you reduce the rate your blood sugar rises after you eat? Try adding a little cinnamon to your meals!

Cinnamon is full of antioxidants and is an excellent source of manganese. It's also a good source of fiber. Plus, research has shown that ground cinnamon can help lower insulin resistance and blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.

So why not add a kick of cinnamon to your favorite foods? Try sprinkling cinnamon on your morning yogurt or oatmeal, or add a dash to your dinner veggies or poultry. Not only will your food taste better, but you'll also be benefiting your waistline and your health.
