Don’t forget to throw in a little red chilli with that turmeric.
I’ve read that cinnamon is good for pre-diabetics to control blood sugar levels...who knew??
I try to take Turmeric supplements every day.
Not entirely accurate. Triglycerides are part of highly complicated processes in the human body, but consuming a high quantity of fat alone does not translate directly to fat in the blood.
Fat in combination with carbohydrates *does* however result in higher serum triglycerides.
To start with, fats are hard to digest, and take a significant expenditure of energy. As has been established by the “meat eater” and Atkins diets, consuming mostly protein and fat, but with very little carbohydrate, will cause overweight people to actually lose weight and have lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
The spice cinnamon, which can come from two different plants, mostly coming from a variety of cassia plant instead of being true cinnamon, are known for stabilizing the blood sugar, which also reduces hunger, which likely explains any triglyceride lowering effects.
