cinnamon

hi guys, ive been watching some vids on youtube regarding a cinnamon challenge. supposedly, most people throw up when dared to eat a spoonful of cinnamon powder. i didnt try it cos i didnt want to be traumatised by cinnamon. i love cinnamon!

so anyways, i thought i'd share some facts about cinnamon with yall:

#1: Preliminary results from studies have indicated that cinnamon has antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic properties. Cinnamon has been found to be effective in fighting vaginal yeast infections, oral yeast infections, stomach ulcers and head lice.

#2: Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties.

#3: Cinnamon may actually help people with Type 2 diabetes control blood sugar levels, and may significantly lower LDL “bad” cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides (fatty acids in the blood).

#4: Cinnamon is an excellent source of manganese, dietary fiber, iron and calcium.

#5: If that’s not enough for you, doctors have performed studies that show that just smelling cinnamon improves our memory and performance of certain tasks.

    I also read that cinnamon's scent can improve participants brain functions and activities.

    In a research conducted by Chemoreception Sciences in Florida, it states that cinnamon has improved participants’ scores on tasks related to attentional processes, virtual recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor skills.

    That's truly amazing!
