Natural Destroyers of Sugar 2

Hi,

Last post we looked at the first destroyer of sugar called Gymnema Sylvestre and saw how it can help lower your blood sugar levels. 

The next destroyer we will look at is called Chromium.  Chromium is a mineral that most Americans don't get enough of.  It does several good things for the body. 

It aids in digestion and helps turn fats, carbs and proteins into energy.  It does this by helping to move the blood sugars into the cells for energy.

And it helps insulin do its job.  So supplementing with Chromium will help insulin get your cirulating blood sugars into the cells for energy.  Again you have the same problem of too much sugar circulating. 

Either you have to increase the amount of energy you need every day to burn up this energy or you have to decrease the amont of sugars coming in.  Of course doing both together is the ideal. 

The next destroyer of sugar, is one that - paradoxically - is used along with sugar in a lot of cooking. 

You can smell this one at almost every airport.  That is the good old flavor of Cinnamon.  Cinnamon buns smell great, but you can't eat one or two of those things and expect the little bit of cinnamon to counter attack all of that sugar at once. 

But, all hope is not lost.  It was found that blood sugar levels actually dropped after eating apple pie in subjects in this particular test. 

It took a while for the researchers to figure out that it was the cinnamon in the apple pie that caused the drop in blood sugar levels. 

It was found that a compound - called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer or MHCP for short - actually helps insulin process glucose.  It helped to the magnitude of 20 times over just insulin alone. 

I eat a lot of oatmeal - most mornings.  I actually hate the taste of oatmeal by itself.  But, it is a good low glycemic carbohydrate source of food. 

I put some raisons, banana and cinnamon and nutmeg on the oatmeal and that tastes great.  I also drink a protein drink to balance out the meal.
