Cinnamon Spice Health Benefits

Cinnamon's unique healing abilities from three basic types of components in the essential oils found in its bark.

Cinnamon Spice Anti-Clotting Actions

Cinnamaldehyde (also called cinnamic aldehyde) has been well-researched for its effects on blood platelets. Platelets are constituents of blood that are meant to clump together under emergency circumstances (like physical injury) as a way to stop bleeding, but under normal circumstances, they can make blood flow inadequate if they clump together too much.

The cinnaldehyde in cinnamon-spice helps prevent unwanted clumping of blood platelets, thus reducing blood pressure.

Cinnamon Spice Anti-Microbial Activity

Cinnamon's essential oils also qualify it as an "anti-microbial" food, and cinnamon-spice has been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi, including the commonly problematic yeast Candida.

Cinnamon's antimicrobial properties are so effective that recent research demonstrates this spice can be used as an alternative to traditional food preservatives.

Cinnamon Spice and Blood Sugar Control

Seasoning a high carb food with cinnamon can help lessen its impact on your blood sugar levels.

Cinnamon-spice slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the rise in blood sugar after eating.

Researchers measured how quickly the stomach emptied after 14 healthy subjects ate 300 grams (1.2 cups) of rice pudding alone or seasoned with 6 grams (1.2 teaspoons) of cinnamon.

Adding cinnamon to the rice pudding lowered the gastric emptying rate from 37% to 34.5% and significantly lessened the rise in blood sugar levels after eating.

Cinnamon Spice Scent, Boosts Brain Function

Not only does consuming cinnamon-spice improve the body's ability to utilize blood sugar, but just smelling the wonderful odor of this sweet spice boosts brain activity!

Cinnamon Spice  - Calcium and Fiber Improve Colon Health and Protect Against Heart Disease

In addition to its unique essential oils, cinnamon is an excellent source of the trace mineral manganese and a very good source of dietary fiber, iron and calcium.

The combination of calcium and fiber in cinnamon is important and can be helpful for the prevention of several different conditions.

Both calcium and fiber can bind to bile salts and help remove them from the body.

By removing bile, fiber helps to prevent the damage that certain bile salts can cause to colon cells, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer.

In addition, when bile is removed by fiber, the body must break down cholesterol in order to make new bile.

This process can help to lower high cholesterol levels, which can be helpful in preventing atherosclerosis and heart disease.

For sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome, the fiber in cinnamon may also provide relief from constipation or diarrhea.
