Unique Spice That Beats Abdominal Fat

by Mike Geary

Ok, this spice that I'm going to mention is one of the
most overlooked, but healthiest spices in the world...

You might even call it a "fat burning spice"... in a roundabout way.

And yes, it can actually help you win the battle against
abdominal fat if you use it daily...I'll explain why.

Here are some other benefits of this miracle spice:

*controls blood sugar levels
*helps maintain insulin sensitivity
*a very powerful antioxidant
*may have antibacterial and antifungal properties
*and dozens of other benefits

So what is this miracle spice?

Well... it's good old tasty Cinnamon!

Although cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning
(such as by increasing metabolic rate, etc), it CAN actually
help you to burn off abdominal fat and get leaner through
an indirect link.

Here's how...

Although cinnamon has dozens of health benefits,
the main benefit that will help you to get leaner is
through it's strong effect on controlling blood sugar
levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 in the medical journal
Diabetes Care, groups were split into people taking
1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form
(the equivalent of approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that all 3 amounts
of cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels
by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity,
which essentially means that it is helping your
body to control blood sugar while simultaneously
allowing your body to produce less insulin.

As you know, chronically high insulin levels
can make your body pack on the blubber.

How to harness this to lose more fat...

One possible way to benefit from cinnamon to
lose more fat is to use cinnamon daily in your
meals when you can, such as in yogurt or cottage
cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, or anything else
you can think of where it would go well.

Also, you could use a cinnamon capsule
before each of your meals.

This could help to control blood sugar and insulin
response from your meals and thereby control your
appetite and cravings throughout the day... hence,
helping you to lose body fat more effectively over time.

So now you can see that not only is cinnamon a powerful
antioxidant that can help you stay youthful longer, it can also
help you to control blood sugar and get a leaner body!

Note: please make sure to consult your doctor before
adding any new foods or spices to your nutrition plan if
you are taking any medications or have food allergies.
