Title : Efficiency of using Turmeric and Cinnamon to control levels of blood sugar and blood pressure
Abstract:
Different herbs and medicinal spices are used to reduce risks of common diseases. Turmeric and Cinnamon are used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Turmeric is used to clear inflammations and infections inside and outside of the body. While Cinnamon is ranked as one of the most protective and antioxidant herbs and medicinal spices in the world. In this research, effects of daily eat of Turmeric or Cinnamon on human body functions (e.g.: Blood pressure and blood sugar levels and heart rate) have been analysed by testing a random sample that consists of 4 men who were asked to eat Cinnamon and Turmeric. During the period of study, 50% of the random sample ate Cinnamon and other 50% ate Turmeric based on specific rules. Specific rules start with drinking 200 millilitre (mL) of hot water that is mixed with 20 grams (gm) of Cinnamon or Turmeric powder twice daily and for 28 days without following a specific dietary pattern. Different tests have been applied on the random sample under supervision of medical specialists. It was noticed that Turmeric and Cinnamon helped to reduce blood pressure level for all members of the random sample. For example, the blood pressure level for Member-A has dropped from 120/87 millimetres of mercury (mmHg) to 120/78 mmHg during the whole period. Blood sugar level followed the same approach. It has dropped from 85 Milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL) to 77 mg/dL for Member-A. But it had a side effect based on urinalysis. Level of urine density have been risen. Leukozyten has been shown at urinalysis results. It should not be shown in urine. Also, it was shown clearly how heart rate risen and it should be controlled. Effects on body weight has been investigated. It was noticed that Turmeric and Cinnamon have a little effect on body weight, and it can be neglected. Results of this research shows how can Turmeric and Cinnamon help to solve different medical issues to meet global challenges.
