Cinnamon
This tasty spice is filled with many powerful antioxidants. Many studies have suggested that cinnamon would reduce the level of blood sugar and enhance insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes. Adding it to your daily meals would help reduce levels of triglyceride and bad cholesterol as well. If you use cassia cinnamon, keep in mind to limit its intake to no more than 1 teaspoon on a daily basis. Instead, it is better to go for Ceylon cinnamon as it has less coumarin. [4]
