I use cinnamon like it's my job. Seriously. Every single morning I put a dash into my coffee. I DUMP it in my Sweet Egg Crepes, and I POUR it into my Pumpkin pudding at night!!!! I love cinnamon. Good news is, not only does it have a delightful flavor that I just can't get enough of, cinnamon packs serious health benefits! Whoopee. If you neglect this wonderful spice, here are just a few reasons to add it to your diet:
Promotes weight loss by stabilizing blood sugar levels and supporting digestion
Brain health. Cinnamon is a natural remedy to relieve migraines and headaches. It also helps boost memory and cognitive function.
Anti-fungal properties that help prevent UTI's, tooth decay, gum disease, and even congestion
Anti-clotting effect on the blood and stimulates circulation
Anti-inflammatory compounds that may relieve arthritis, stiff muscles and joints and even menstrual cramps -- yes, please!
You can reap these benefits by adding just a dash of cinnamon into your diet everyday. Try adding it to your morning coffee or tea! However, just because cinnamon by itself is healthy, cinnamon rolls, not so much.
