This signature spice of the fall season has some pretty amazing health benefits. Yes, it tastes amazing and has a long history of being an herbal remedy<\/a>\u00a0in various cultures around the world. Researches have even ranked it #1 out of the most popular herbs and medicinal spices, in terms of it being a powerful antioxidant<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do all the health benefits come from? The bark of the cinnamomum<\/em> tree has amazing compounds, which promote better health. These benefits can be obtained from cinnamon\u2019s essential oil<\/strong><\/a>, the pure bark<\/strong>, in its stick form<\/strong>, or in the popular ground form<\/strong>. So if you want something that has immune-boosting<\/a>, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties<\/strong>, cinnamon is the spice that makes everything nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People love cinnamon for its signature smell, but let\u2019s take a look at why you should spice up your life with cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improves Brain Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon contains two compounds, cinnamaldehyde <\/strong>and epicatechin<\/strong>, both of which inhibit the accumulation of the tau protein. While tau is present in regular cell structure, it can accumulate and scramble brain signals, which is a trademark of Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protects Heart Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because cinnamon has strong anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong>, it has been proven to lower the risk of high cholesterol<\/a>, high blood pressure, and other forms of heart disease<\/a>. The properties in cinnamon help to reduce bad levels of cholesterol, while keeping good cholesterol levels the same.<\/strong> It also helps your blood clot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes Fighter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon has anti-diabetic properties.<\/strong> By lowering blood sugar levels<\/a>\u00a0and increasing one\u2019s sensitivity to insulin, which is needed for balancing blood sugar levels, it is a great herbal remedy for people with diabetes<\/a>. People with type 2 diabetes have seen positive results on blood sugar markers when they used cinnamon extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight Loss Helper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon is rich in essential minerals, like calcium and manganese, which you need everyday. Because cinnamon helps regulate the amount of blood sugar you have in your blood after a meal, it helps on your weight loss quest<\/a>. Cinnamon won\u2019t magically drop pounds for you, but it can help if you\u2019re eating healthy and exercising<\/a>. It also improves digestion<\/a><\/strong>, so everything\u00a0can\u00a0function well on the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps Fight Allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The compounds and anti-inflammatory properties in cinnamon have been known to combat allergy symptoms<\/a>\u00a0by reducing inflammation and fighting histamine reactions<\/strong>. Additionally, cinnamon helps boost the immune system<\/a>, which is beneficial for fighting off viruses and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeps Skin Looking Healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because cinnamon has incredible antimicrobial and antibiotic properties<\/strong>, applying essential oil of cinnamon on the skin can help relieve skin irritations<\/a>. If you mix several drops of the essential oil with coconut oil<\/a>\u00a0and continually apply it to your skin, it will hydrate the skin and keep it looking healthy and young.<\/p>\n
