Health and fertility benefits of Apple-White Cheddar Grilled Cheese 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).

Ingredients

4 slices whole wheat cinnamon-raisin bread
4 slices sharp white cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
1 small apple, thinly sliced
1 thin slice red onion, separated into rings
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
