When not being used for the cinnamon challenge, the list of ailments that cinnamon can actually improve is endless. Here are the top 6 reasons why you need to add more cinnamon to your diet:
1. Cinnamon Helps Fight Diabetes. Research has suggested that cinnamon can help improve blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity. Results from a clinical study published in the Diabetes Care journal show that a daily intake of just 1 gram of cinnamon was shown to reduce both glucose and “bad” cholesterol after just 40 days among middle-aged diabetics. Another study published in Agricultural Research Magazine found that the same gram of cinnamon per day can help manage, or even reverse, type 2 diabetes. 2. Cinnamon can improve learning ability and memory. Studies in lab mice found that after ingesting cinnamon, the mice metabolized the spice into sodium benzoate, which is used as a drug treatment for brain damage. This led to improved memory and learning among mice previously determined to be “poor learners.” The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Alzheimer’s Association. In human tests, cinnamon was shown to improve scores on attention span, virtual recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor response speed. 3. Cinnamon Soothes Arthritis. In a study of 122 spices and herbs for efficiency in the reduction of uric acid levels, extract of cinnamon was found to be the most effective for suppressing the enzyme that is responsible for the production of uric acid. 4. Cinnamon Lowers Risk of Having a Heart Attack. A clinical study with rats found that after ingesting a sugar solution to raise their blood pressure, rats that then received a dosage of cinnamon had reduced blood pressure, whereas the rats that were given a placebo did not. Cinnamon also improves circulation due to the presence of a blood-thinning compound in it, which ensures adequate oxygen supply to the body’s cells, and reduces pain. 5. Cinnamon Reduces Pain. Cinnamon is also an anti-inflammatory substance, which helps reduce stiffness in muscles and joints, and helps reduce the effects of tension and sinus pressure headaches. 6. Cinnamon Aids in Digestive Health. Due to cinnamon’s carminative properties, it is especially effective at aiding indigestion, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea, and flatulence. Cinnamon does this by eliminating excess gas from the stomach and intestines, while countering acidity. When confronted with such a long list of healing attributes, why wouldn’t you want to add cinnamon to your daily diet? Cinnamon has long been used as a healthy alternative to sugar in coffees and teas, and is commonly sprinkled over oatmeal and cereal. Whether you find it in a jar, or in a packet, you’ll want more cinnamon in your diet today! |
