1. 0:00Somewhere in the back of your cabinet,
2. 0:01behind the paprika and the old cinnamon,
3. 0:04there's a small jar you probably haven't
4. 0:06opened in years. Inside are little brown
5. 0:09buds that almost look like tiny nails.
6. 0:12Centuries ago, sailors crossed the ocean
7. 0:15for them, and empires fought over the
8. 0:17remote islands where they grew. And
9. 0:19today, they cost just a few dollars at
10. 0:22the grocery store. I'm talking about
11. 0:24cloves. Today, I want to show you how
12. 0:26this simple spice can be beneficial for
13. 0:28your health, and how much you need of it
14. 0:30to get its health benefits. Also, at the
15. 0:33end of this video, I'll show you one
16. 0:35trial where this spice did something
17. 0:38that a simple antioxidant supplement
18. 0:40could not, and why this is changing how
19. 0:43I think about antioxidants in general.
20. 0:45First, what on earth is a clove, and how
21. 0:48is it beneficial for you? A clove is
22. 0:50simply a dried flower bud. Most of its
23. 0:53punch comes from an oil called eugenol.
24. 0:56Dentists have used it for generations to
25. 0:59numb tooth pain and fight germs in the
26. 1:01mouth. Now, here's where the internet
27. 1:03kind of goes off track a little bit. You
28. 1:05will hear that eugenol floods your
29. 1:07bloodstream and fixes everything from
30. 1:10brain fog to depression, but that's not
31. 1:12the way that it works. In a study in the
32. 1:14Journal of Xenobiotica, healthy
33. 1:17volunteers took eugenol by mouth. It was
34. 1:20absorbed quickly, but the body also
35. 1:22worked on it fast. Within 24 hours,
36. 1:24about 95% of the dose came out in the
37. 1:28urine. Almost all of it changed forms.
38. 1:31Less than 0.1%
39. 1:33of it came out as plain eugenol. Think
40. 1:36of your liver as a customs checkpoint.
41. 1:38Eugenol will walk in, it'll get stamped,
42. 1:41relabeled, and then sent out the exit.
43. 1:44Very little of the original eugenol gets
44. 1:47through unchanged. Now, there's two
45. 1:49studies that are worth taking a closer
46. 1:51look about how cloves can actually be
47. 1:54beneficial to you. The first one is a
48. 1:55triple-blind study done in the Clinical
49. 1:58Oral Investigations Journal, and it
50. 2:00followed 168 patients on ventilators in
51. 2:03an intensive care unit. One group got a
52. 2:06clove extract mouthwash, the other got
53. 2:09chlorhexidine, the standard hospital
54. 2:11antiseptic, both twice a day for 5 days.
55. 2:14The clove group had significantly fewer
56. 2:17cases of ventilator pneumonia. Another
57. 2:19lab study in the Annals of Clinical
58. 2:21Microbiology and Antimicrobials tested
59. 2:24eugenol against 30 strains of H. pylori,
60. 2:28which is the bacteria behind many gut
61. 2:30ulcers. At a tiny concentration, eugenol
62. 2:33stopped the growth of every single H.
63. 2:36pylori strain. The researchers then grew
64. 2:38some of the bacteria through 10
65. 2:40generations at low doses, and the
66. 2:42bacteria did not even become resistant.
67. 2:45So far, we have a strong antiseptic and
68. 2:47some exciting lab work. Both are
69. 2:50promising, but neither proves what a cup
70. 2:53of clove water actually does. Before we
71. 2:55get into the real research finding of
72. 2:58what cloves can do in humans,
73. 3:00particularly for blood sugar lowering
74. 3:03capabilities, as well as how much of
75. 3:05this you would actually need to yield
76. 3:07the benefits, if you've already learned
77. 3:09something new in this video, please
78. 3:10consider subscribing, as it really does
79. 3:12help push this information out to the
80. 3:15people that need to hear the most. Also,
81. 3:17if you want other evidence-based
82. 3:19information, just like what we're
83. 3:20talking about in today's video,
84. 3:22delivered to your inbox, I have a weekly
85. 3:25newsletter called The Weekly Checkup. I
86. 3:28send out three issues every single week.
87. 3:31So, if you're interested in that, you
88. 3:32can check it out using the link in the
89. 3:34description below. In a pilot study in
90. 3:36the Journal of BMC Complementary and
91. 3:38Alternative Medicine, 13 healthy
92. 3:41volunteers took 250 mg of a clove
93. 3:45extract after lunch for 30 days. They
94. 3:48were split by fasting blood sugar into a
95. 3:50normal group and a pre-diabetic group.
96. 3:52By day 12, after-meal blood sugar had
97. 3:54dropped by 13 points in the normal group
98. 3:57and almost 17 points in the pre-diabetic
99. 4:00group. And by day 30, the pre-diabetics
100. 4:02group fasting sugar was down 14 points.
101. 4:06Now, the main thing to look at about the
102. 4:07study is it was quite small. Anything
103. 4:11with an N value or the number of people
104. 4:14total in a study less than a few hundred
105. 4:17to a few thousand, you really want to be
106. 4:19skeptical about the validity of the
107. 4:21study. Nevertheless, the way the study
108. 4:23was designed is pretty solid. Now, this
109. 4:26doesn't mean that cloves in your water
110. 4:28is going to completely transform and fix
111. 4:31your blood sugar overnight. But, what it
112. 4:33does mean is that it's another tool in
113. 4:35your toolbelt to use to lower blood
114. 4:38sugar completely naturally. Now, if you
115. 4:41decide to do this for yourself and give
116. 4:43it a try to lower your own blood sugar,
117. 4:45here's what I would do. Use one whole
118. 4:47clove that you buy from the store and
119. 4:49crush it with the back of a spoon. Mix
120. 4:51that into a hot cup of coffee or warm
121. 4:55water. Cover the cup and let it steep
122. 4:57for 5 to 10 minutes. Covering it holds
123. 5:00in more of the aroma, which is the
124. 5:02volatile oil. If you like it, stay at
125. 5:04once a day, but don't go past two or
126. 5:06three because of possible side effects.
127. 5:09Cloves can slow blood clotting. If you
128. 5:12take warfarin, aspirin, or any type of
129. 5:15blood-thinning agent at all, the clove
130. 5:17can be a real problem for you. If you're
131. 5:19pregnant liver disease, check with your
132. 5:21doctor before making this a daily habit
133. 5:23as well. Now, here's the connection of
134. 5:25clove water to antioxidants in general
135. 5:28that I promised at the beginning of this
136. 5:30video. In a randomized double-blind
137. 5:32trial in the Journal of Functional
138. 5:34Foods, 70 adults with metabolic syndrome
139. 5:37took either a clove bud polyphenol
140. 5:39extract or synthetic glutathione at 250
141. 5:43mg per day for 84 days. Glutathione is
142. 5:47the main antioxidant that biohackers pay
143. 5:51a lot of money for. The clove group
144. 5:52raised its plasma glutathione levels
145. 5:55about sixfold. They also improved
146. 5:57fasting blood sugar meal after meal,
147. 6:00lower A1C, and improved insulin
148. 6:03resistance. In addition to this, total
149. 6:05cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL also
150. 6:08fell while simultaneously having a rise
151. 6:11in their HDL. The group swallowing the
152. 6:13glutathione directly saw no meaningful
153. 6:16change in blood sugar or fat metabolism.
154. 6:18I want you to read that again. The group
155. 6:20that got the antioxidant itself did not
156. 6:23improve. The group that got the plant
157. 6:26did. Here's the clinical reframe that
158. 6:28I'm trying to drive home here. Taking an
159. 6:31antioxidant alone like glutathione in
160. 6:34isolation versus taking clove which
161. 6:37boosts your own body's ability to
162. 6:40naturally produce glutathione levels
163. 6:42yielded significantly different results.
164. 6:45Sometimes, if you take certain things in
165. 6:48isolation, it doesn't work as well in
166. 6:50the body as if you take something that
167. 6:53is more natural for you. I talk about
168. 6:55this all the time and we see this
169. 6:57consistently in the literature. If you
170. 7:00get vitamins, minerals, and nutrients
171. 7:02from the food sources themselves rather
172. 7:05than taking them in isolation, your body
173. 7:08actually uses them more efficiently in
174. 7:11ways that can help your overall levels
175. 7:13of health much better than taking some
176. 7:16sort of isolated vitamin or nutrient
177. 7:18alone. This doesn't mean supplements are
178. 7:20useless. I say this often, supplements
179. 7:23are helpers. They're not heroes. They're
180. 7:26meant to do in addition to the healthy
181. 7:28habits that you're already creating in
182. 7:30and of itself. If you want to take the
183. 7:32supplemental form of clove in a capsule,
184. 7:35I've linked the best and most affordable
185. 7:37version on Amazon in the description
186. 7:39below. But again, if I were you, I would
187. 7:41try to buy the whole clove, crush it,
188. 7:43and let it steep in hot tea, water, or
189. 7:47coffee. Finally, for everything God
190. 7:49created is good, and nothing is to be
191. 7:51rejected if it is received with
192. 7:53Thanksgiving. This is from the book of 1
193. 7:56Timothy chapter 4 verse 4. In my next
194. 7:59video, I cover the four best exercises
195. 8:02to lower blood sugar naturally. Doing
196. 8:04these four exercises consistently has
197. 8:07been shown to lower blood sugar by as
198. 8:09much as prescription medication. So, if
199. 8:11you want to know what these four
200. 8:13exercises are, you're going to want to
201. 8:15check out this next video right here.
