HEALTH BENEFITS OF CINNAMON
Let's talk about Cinnamon and how it can be good for your health.
Cinnamon is a spice made from tree bark. People have known about its healing powers for a very long time.
Cinnamon ILis made by taking bark from cinnamon trees, removing the hard parts, and letting it dry. Then it curls into sticks, called cinnamon sticks. You can also turn these sticks into a powdery form called cinnamon powder.
Here are some of the best things about cinnamon:
Cinnamon has something called cinnamaldehyde, which makes it healthy.
It's packed with antioxidants. These keep your body safe from harm caused by free radicals.
Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties. This is important because too much inflammation can be bad for your body. Cinnamon's antioxidants can help reduce this problem.
Cinnamon can make your body more sensitive to insulin. Insulin is like a traffic cop for your blood sugar.
It can lower your blood sugar levels after you eat. It does this by slowing down how your body breaks down food.
Cinnamon might be good for your brain. It could help stop the things that cause diseases like Alzheimer's.
It fights bacteria and fungi. Cinnamon oil can help with infections in your breathing tubes. It can also keep your teeth healthy and your breath fresh.
Cinnamon is both tasty and good for you. You can use it as a spice in your food. A little bit every day, like a quarter teaspoon, can help your health. You can even add it to water or tea. But don't overdo it – no more than half a teaspoon a day, as overdose/excess consumption of cinnamon may have some negative effect on your body
