Ways to Add Cinnamon to Your Diet
Cinnamon is a natural spice which you can add to your daily diet, or use as a natural medicine. It is actually the inner bark of an evergreen tree that grows in places like India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Egypt and Asia. You can purchase it in the spice section of the grocery store either in sticks or in powder form.
It is a good source of manganese, dietary fiber, iron, and calcium. It also contains vitamins A, B3, C and K, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc. Adding cinnamon to your diet can help you to add these essential nutrients to your body. Here are some practical ways to add cinnamon to your diet:
Tea. Cinnamon is great in teas along with ginger, apple, vanilla, nutmeg and cloves.
Coffee. You can also add ginger to your morning coffee. Whether you enjoy drip coffee or instant coffee, it is a great addition.
Nut and Rice Milk. Cinnamon is excellent for flavoring your homemade nut and rice milk. Use it with other flavors such as vanilla, nutmeg or cloves.
Fruit and Fruit Juices. Cinnamon also adds a nice touch to fruit juices such as apple, orange, peach or pear juice. If you like to eat your foods whole you can also sprinkle cinnamon on them as well. Also works well in fruit salads which contain the above mentioned fruits.
Oatmeal and Cereal. If you enjoy oatmeal or other types of cereals, sprinkle some on top for extra flavor.
Toast. It is also great on your morning toast along with butter or your favorite nut oil.
Popcorn. And believe it or not, but it is also very good on popcorn along with agave nectar. Just remember that agave nectar is sticky, and thus it could get messy.
Health Benefits
Cinnamon is high in antioxidants which helps your body to eliminate free radicals. Free radicals are what cause your body to lose its functions, and make it susceptible to disease. When the free radicals are removed, your immune system can be strengthened so that you can prevent common ailments such as the common cold, digestive problems such as gas, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach ulcers, menstrual pain, yeast infections and head lice.
The antioxidants also help to reduce the inflammation associated with arthritis. However, cinnamon does not work like a drug in the sense that you can find immediate relief, but rather it has to build up in your body. Therefore it is essential that you make it a part of your daily diet.
