Cinnamon

Yes, a taste that almost everyone loves can actually help fight off belly fat, and here's how.

The main feature of this spice is its fascinating ability to control your blood suger levels.

A study published a few years ago in the medical journal 'Diabetes Care' followed groups of people taking 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (approximately 1/4th to 1 teaspoon). 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, meaning it helps to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing your body to produce less insulin.

So, add cinnamon to your healthy eating plans today. Try this healthy eating tip with yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and anywhere else you find a tasty spot for it.
