Cinnamon an aromatic tree bark can be valuable when it comes to health
benefits. From diabetes to pain management, an extra dash of cinnamon
may be part of a plan to fight these common problems.
1. Help treat Type 2 diabetes
Perhaps the most promising research pointing to the health benefits of
cinnamon is linked to type 2 diabetes. While there is certainly no
cure for this metabolic disease, cinnamon can be an important tool in
managing its symptoms.
2.Help manage metabolic disease
Cinnamon could be effective in reducing complications, morbidity, and
mortality in metabolic syndrome, including reducing blood pressure,
plasma glucose, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Cinnamon can also be used
as an appetite suppressant to those with a sugar addiction, thanks to
its naturally sweet taste.
3. Lower bad cholesterol (or LDL).
Even if you do not suffer from diabetes or metabolic syndrome, you may
want to include cinnamon in your diet for many of the same reasons as
those who do. It improves serum glucose, lowering fasting blood
glucose, and reducing triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and total
cholesterol. These are all benefits that can help even those not
suffering from diabetes, including those with hereditary cholesterol
worries or problems.
4. Has antimicrobial properties.
Cinnamon has been proven to fight fungal, bacterial, and viral
elements in foods: It’s no surprise that in the Middle Ages, when food
spoilage was far more frequent due to lack of refrigeration, many
recipes, both sweet and savory, were flavored with the spice.
5. Help manage HIV.
Cinnamon’s antimicrobial properties extend to viruses, thus indicating
that it may help fight or manage HIV.
6.Treat candidiasis.
Similarly, cinnamon’s anti-microbial properties extend to fungi, thus
rendering it a promising treatment for candidiasis.
7. Treat symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are two neurological conditions
that, for the moment, are incurable. An enormous part of treating
these diseases is therefore in symptom management, and this can be
boosted with the addition of cinnamon to a regular regime.
9. Has anti-inflammatory properties.
It is possible that the consumption of cinnamon could reduce both
systemic and specific inflammation.
10. Can help your eyes.
Some studies have shown that cinnamon, when used in conjunction with
other herbs, may be useful in the treatment of eye disorders including
conjunctivitis and dry eye.
