‘Including cinnamon in your daily diet may lessen the risk of developing obesity, diabetes and cholesterol caused by a high-fat diet.’
Researchers led by Vijaya Juturu from OmniActive Health Technologies in the US' Morristown fed rats cinnamon supplements for 12 weeks along with a high-fat diet. The results revealed that the rats weighed less and had less belly fat and healthier levels of sugar, insulin and fat in their blood -- leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases -- compared to those who did not receive cinnamon with their high-fat foods.
Rats fed with cinnamon also had fewer molecules involved in the body's fat-storing process and more antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules that protect the body from the damages of stress, the researchers said.
