Cinnamon – power spice and natural sweetener

Cinnamon is a wonderful spice that is used all around the world in cooking, and provides a naturally sweet, warming taste to many foods.

Aside from its taste, it also has countless health benefits:

• Antioxidant
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-microbial
• Anti-fungal
• Fights infections and viruses
• Reduces cancer risk
• Lowers blood sugar levels
• Lowers cholesterol and high triglyceride levels
• Lowers blood pressure
• Aids digestive discomfort

Just half a teaspoon per day has been shown to have a positive effect in health studies; why not try adding a good sprinkling of cinnamon to some plain yoghurt as a natural sweetener – it tastes great and you know it’s doing good too!
