Warm, sweet cinnamon can do so much more than just spice up your apple pie or stew. If you’re struggling with weight loss compounded by a diabetes problem or insulin sensitivity or have been told you have metabolic syndrome, cinnamon can be a godsend. While reports hailing it as a weight-loss wonder are aplenty, its true power may lie in how it improves your lipid profile and insulin sensitivity.
Over a third of all adults in the country are obese, with a 60 percent increase in obesity in the past two decades alone.1 If you’re struggling with weight loss yourself, the idea of the warm and heady cinnamon as a weight-loss remedy may pique your interest. But is this fact or a dieter’s myth?
Weight loss in an otherwise healthy adult may not come from just adding cinnamon to the diet, but the spice can help those with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and other insulin sensitivity or glucose metabolism-related weight issues. It can also help tackle problems like inflammation-induced obesity. So while cinnamon may not be the miracle cure everyone is looking for, it’s worth making it a part of your lifestyle for overall health – and for helping you get fit if you have any of these conditions.2
Inflammation-Induced Obesity
Cinnamon, like another popular Ayurvedic remedy turmeric, helps modulate inflammatory pathways and combat inflammation-induced obesity. The cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon, which constitutes about 90 percent of the essential oil of the bark of cinnamon, is an active component that improves lipid metabolism.3
When taken as a water extract, it can help manage hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of lipids) in addition to improving obesity-related diabetes.4 Obesity is associated with the presence of TNF-alpha, a substance that causes the body to overproduce proteins that bind with lipids in the intestine. However, the cinnamon water extract can regulate gene expression and reverse this effect. It also counters inflammation-linked intestinal dyslipidemia (elevated levels of triglycerides/cholesterol).5
