Pancakes, freshly baked cookies and other recipes can take on a different flavor if you add a little cinnamon. Throughout history, cinnamon has not only been used as a sweet spice, but has also been valued for its healing properties.
Cinnamon helps the health of the digestive system, while people with diabetes may have more benefits. In addition, cinnamon can also have an effect on our brain, especially when it comes to preventing Alzheimer's.
In a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, it is said that cinnamon contains two key compounds that help protect against the formation of what can be considered "knots" in our brain cells.
Despite the effects of cinnamon, experts suggest not consuming more than the average amount that a person normally cooks with. Excessive consumption of cinnamon can potentially increase the risk of allergic reactions, liver damage, etc.
