Reasons to Eat Cinnamon

Who doesn't love cinnamon? Beyond being a flavourful item for your toast, apple cider and your apple pie, cinnamon has some great health benefits as well. Cinnamon is a great anti-inflammatory spice that can be part of a good diet with anti inflammatory foods chosen for warding off disease and discomfort.

What else is cinnamon good for?

Beyond making a Cinnabon roll rather tasty, having this spice present in healthy foods is a good idea. It can act as a natural and safe way of preserving food for longer periods of time as an antibacterial and can slow the affect of spoiling. It can be helpful with recurring yeast infections and can lower cholesterol levels.

Cinnamon is also an antioxidant and is being researched for helping with issues such as diabetes as well as cancer.

The aroma of cinnamon is a great way to naturally create scent in your home and from an aromatherapy perspective, this spice is known for helping with memory and concentration.
