The consumption of cardamom (3 g), cinnamon (3 g), ginger (3 g), and saffron (1 g) for eight weeks reduced HDL and LDL in type 2 diabetic patients. However, in another study, using cinnamon extract (500 mg\/kg body weight) for one year in pre-diabetic patients had no beneficial effect in improving Electrocardiogram indicators. Cinnamon increases total antioxidant power by reducing lipid peroxidation. 0 mg\/kg body weight cinnamon for two weeks had significant antioxidant ability in reducing the complications related to oxidative stress and increased total antioxidant power by reducing lipid peroxidation.\u00a0 \u00a0e consumption of 500 mg cinnamon \/kg body weight in type 2 diabetes patients for two months reduced blood sugar and lipid.\u00a0 \u00a0Ingic, chili pepper, and cinnamon on patients with CVDs and anchoring for 11 years showed that cinnamon did not affect blood lipids and CVDs.<\/p>\n

Daily consumption of 1 g cinnamon powder \/kg body weight) For 16 months, in male type, two diabetes patients had reduced diabetes complications.\u00a0 \u00a0Another study determined that cinnamon (1 g per day) for three months lowered blood pressure in diabetic patients.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon has been known from remote antiquity<\/a>. It was\u00a0Wased to Egypt as early as 2000 BC, but those who reported that it had come from China had confused it with\u00a0Cinnamomum cassia<\/i>, a related species.\u00a0 \u00a0nnamon was so highly prized among ancient nations that it was regarded as a gift fit for monarchs\u00a0<\/sup>and even for a deity; an inscription records the gift of cinnamon and cassia to the temple of\u00a0Apollo<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Miletus<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0s source was kept a trade secret in the Mediterranean for centuries by those in the\u00a0spice trade<\/a>\u00a0to protect their monopoly as suppliers.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Cinnamomum verum<\/i>, which translates from Latin as “true cinnamon”” is native to”India<\/a>,\u00a0Srilanka<\/a>,\u00a0Bangladesh<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Myanmar<\/a>.<\/sup>Cinnamomum cassia<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(cassia) is native to China. Related species, all harvested and sold in the modern era as cinnamon, are native to\u00a0Vietnam<\/a>\u00a0(“Saigon cinnamon”<\/a>), Indonesia, “and other Southeast Asian countries with warm climates.<\/p>\n

In Ancient Egypt, cinnamon was used to embalm\u00a0mummies<\/a>. Om tFrom\u00a0Ptol Om Kingdom<\/a>\u00a0onward, Ancient Egyptian recipes for\u00a0kyphi<\/a>, an aromatic used for burning, included cinnamon and cassia.\u00a0 \u00a0e gifts of Hellenistic rulers to temples sometimes included cassia and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

The first Greek reference to \u03ba\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1<\/span><\/span>\u00a0kas\u00eda<\/i><\/span>\u00a0is found in a poem by\u00a0Sappho<\/a> in the 7th century BC. According\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0to dotus<\/a>, both cinnamon and cassia grew in Arabia, ith withense, myrrh<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0labd<\/a>labdanum<\/a><\/span>w and\u00a0winged serpents<\/a> guarded nd<\/span>Herodotus, Aristotle, and other authors named Arabia as the source of cinnamon; they recounted that giant “cinnamon birds<\/a>” collected the”cinnamon sticks from an unknown land where the cinnamon trees grew and used them to construct their nests.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Pliny the Elder<\/a>\u00a0wrote that cinnamon was brought around the\u00a0Arabian peninsula<\/a> on “rafts without “udders or sails or oars,” taking advantage of the “age of the winter trade winds<\/a>. Also mentioned cassia as a flavoring agent for the win and that the tales of cinnamon being collected from the nests of cinnamon birds were a traders’ fictiotraders’p to charge more. However, the story remained current in Byzantium<\/a>\u00a0as late as 1310.<\/sup><\/p>\n

According to Pliny the Elder, a\u00a0Roman pound<\/a> (327 grams [11.5\u00a0oz]) of cassia, and cinnamon (serichatum<\/i><\/span>), cost up to 1,500\u00a0denarii<\/a><\/i><\/span>, the wage of fifty months’ labor.\u00a0months’<\/a><\/span>ian<\/a>‘s\u00a0EdiDiocletian’sum Prices<\/a><\/sup> from 301 Agivesa price of 125 denarii<\/i><\/span> for a pound of cassia, while an agricultural laborer earned 25\u00a0denarii<\/i><\/span> per day.\u00a0 \u00a0cinnamon was too expensive to be commonly used on funeral pyres in Rome. Still, EEmperorNero<\/a> is said to have burned a year’s wworth ofsupplyof\u00a0 the funeralof his wife Poppaea Sabina<\/a>\u00a0in AD 65.<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nCinnamon is influential in preventing and treating CVDs by lowering blood lipids and blood pressure and improving the oxidants: antioxidants balance.<\/p>\n
