🌿 🤎 Today we start with your cinnamon ritual 🌿 🤎
What are the health benefits of cinnamon?
Cassia is the most widely used and cheaper type of cinnamon. However, it contains high amounts of coumarin, which can damage the liver if taken in high doses and can lead to headaches, nausea and dizziness.
Ceylon is also known as real cinnamon and is the higher quality type, contains hardly any coumarin and is therefore safe to eat. I only ever use Ceylon cinnamon.
Cinnamon has a variety of potential health benefits and uses due to its natural properties. Here are some of the most common uses of cinnamon:
-
Regulating blood sugar levels: Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which may be helpful for people with diabetes or to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
-
Antioxidant properties: Due to its high concentration of antioxidants, cinnamon may help reduce cell damage caused by free radicals and support overall health.
-
Anti-inflammatory: Cinnamon contains compounds that may have anti-inflammatory properties, which could help fight inflammation in the body.
-
Antibacterial and antimicrobial effects: Cinnamon can be effective against certain bacteria, fungi and microorganisms and thus help prevent infections.
-
Improve digestion: Cinnamon can aid digestion and help with stomach problems such as bloating, gas and indigestion.
-
Supports heart health: There is evidence that cinnamon may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
-
Flavor Enhancement: Cinnamon is commonly used as a spice in various dishes, baked goods and beverages to enhance flavors and add a unique taste.
