Health and fertility benefits of Jamaican Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060). Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup chopped green onions
1 jalapeno pepper
3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon each ground allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pork tenderloins(1 pound each)

Instructions

In a food processor, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, onion, green onions, jalapeno, thyme, salt, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and pepper. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat using a drip pan.
Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 °. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
