Besides being incredibly delicious in dishes and drinks, cinnamon also helps you get through the cold winter days. Cinnamon helps maintain your body temperature, boosts your immune system, and stimulates weight loss. Do we need to say more?
No, right? Or rather: a brief explanation.
Blood circulation
Eating (or drinking) cinnamon improves blood circulation, which raises your body temperature. A well-circulated body is much better able to warm itself from the inside out. But cinnamon also has another important function in winter: it has antiviral and antibacterial properties. This makes you less susceptible to colds or the flu, for example.
Faster digestion
But we'll give you another reason to add some extra cinnamon to your cup of tea, coffee, or yogurt: this spice helps with weight loss. Here's how: cinnamon has a stimulating effect on digestion. So everything you eat is digested a little faster, which ultimately means you'll lose more weight.

Brew them into a tea or add them to curry. or pasta. Do you already follow NewFysic on Facebook ? and Instagram This article was written by Emma.
