Is Cinnamon Good For You?
Do you like cinnamon rolls? If yes, then you are in luck; you have been eating health food all along.
Actually, it would be better if you leave the 'roll' part out next time and only have the cinnamon because cinnamon is what really gives you all these health benefits.
Rich in fiber, manganese, calcium, and multiple other micronutrients, cinnamon can be a potent health booster for any diet and providing benefits such as reducing the risk of diabetes and helping deal with neurodegenerative diseases.
To give you a better idea what this delicious spice can do for you, here are 7 scientifically proven health benefits of cinnamon:
1. Cinnamon Speeds up Your Metabolism
2.
3. The smell and flavor of cinnamon are due to its oily part, which concentrates on a compound called cinnamaldehyde. This compound is responsible for most of the cinnamon's powerful health effects and speeds up metabolism.
Metabolism refers to the number of calories the body uses to perform its functions, such as breathing, pumping blood, and practicing physical activity. Speeding it up means making the body use more energy to perform the same task, which can significantly help with weight loss.
2. Cinnamon is Rich in Antioxidants
Antioxidants help defend the body against oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental toxins.
And they have the ability to limit the accumulation of nitric oxide in the blood, and lipid peroxidation related to cases of brain disorders, cancer, heart disease, and a myriad of other health problems.
Cinnamon contains powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols. It outperforms oregano and garlic in antioxidant properties. It can even be used as a natural food preservative.
3. Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
4.
5. Inflammation is a natural bodily function that is important as it helps the body to fight infections and repair damaged tissue.
6.
7. However, inflammation can become a grave problem when it becomes a chronic (long-running) issue and is directed against the body's own tissues.
Cinnamon can be useful in preventing high levels of inflammation, as some studies show that its antioxidants have significant anti-inflammatory activity. Cinnamon, therefore, has the potential to be an ally in combating inflammation.
This benefit comes from the previously mentioned abundant antioxidants present in cinnamon, which have anti-inflammatory benefits.
4. Cinnamon Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease
For those who have a family history of heart disease, cinnamon may be a good preventive choice for you.
Cinnamon is linked with a decreased risk of heart disease. Not only that, but research has also shown that it reduces bad cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and cholesterols. All of which can be beneficial from those at risk of heart-related diseases.
5. Improves Insulin Sensitivity & Decreases Blood Sugar Levels
Insulin is the main hormone that helps regulate metabolism and energy use, and it is essential for transporting blood sugar to cells.
Many people are resistant to the effects of insulin, which can cause metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, amongst other problems.
Cinnamon's benefits on blood sugar are well-researched and documented.
It does so by interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, which slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract, according to two studies.
Also, a cinnamon compound called hydroxychalcone can act on cells, mimicking insulin.
By mimicking insulin, hydroxychalcone can be of great help on the absorption of glucose, even if it doesn't work as quickly as insulin.
Not only that, but human tests have also shown that cinnamon has anti-diabetic effects, and can severely reduce fasting blood sugar levels in people.
The necessary dosage for this benefit seems to be at least 1-6 grams of cinnamon per day.
Cinnamon can also dramatically reduce insulin resistance and help balance hormones.
Cinnamon can even decrease the amount of glucose that enters the bloodstream after a meal.
6. It's Beneficial on Neurodegenerative Diseases
7.
8. Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive loss of brain cell structure and function. Two of the most well-known neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Some cinnamon compounds can stop the over-accumulation of Tau.
Of course, cinnamon has many more benefits, but the ones I just mentioned have been most widely studied and quite well proven.
