Cinnamon has an effect on weight regulation. Its consumption, in very modest doses, leads to an equally modest decrease in body mass index (height/weight squared) and weight. This cinnamon comes from the bark of the cinnamon tree. There are 2 types of cinnamon, one called noble, from Ceylon, and the other more rustic, grown elsewhere in the world, called cassia cinnamon, much less expensive (read the labels!). Like many plants, it is rich in fiber, antioxidants, potassium, magnesium, and, of course, antioxidants. In several studies, cinnamon causes a weight loss, of the order of 1k in a few months, that is to say modest. And a decrease in cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin, which is beneficial. And this for rather low doses, either 1.5 g/day, or half a teaspoon. It should not be forgotten that cinnamon added to pastries, which are very high in calories, makes you lose the benefit of this cinnamon. However, some have reported high levels of lead in certain cinnamons, as well as possible toxicity of one of its compounds, coumarin. As always in nutrition, common sense prevails, a little cinnamon yes, but don't gorge yourself on it! #savoirvivreethealth #cinnamon #loseweightwithoutdieting 00:00 introduction 01:15 cinnamon 02:37 cinnamon and weight 03:36 cinnamon, biological effects 04:42 cinnamon, conclusion
