Living Healthy With Cinnamon

by Cecile Cinco

It's been 4 days now that I've included cinnamon to my everyday meals and drinks. Basically, my reason was for detoxification as I learned that it is great for cleansing. I bought 100g of powdered cinnamon (for the first time, actually) and sprinkle lavishly on my morning oatmeal. It is so lavish that the oatmeal is fully covered. I also put a teaspoonful of cinnamon in my mug of coffee. I had to mix it well because the cinnamon actually floats.

For the first 2 days, I was unaware of the effect of detoxification. The main reason for buying cinnamon skipped my brains and I thought my frequent visit to the white house was because of something I ate that might have been contaminated with some bacteria because the odor was like I ate something contaminated with bacteria! It was just on the 3rd day that I realized that it was cinnamon that caused it.

Now I did a search on the health benefits of cinnamon and found more than I expected:

- anti-clotting actions
- anti-microbial activity
- blood sugar control
- scent boosts brain function
- calcium and fiber improve colon health and protect against heart disease
- a traditional warming remedy

I also don't feel as hungry as I used to even with the little I eat.
