5 ‘health foods’ that can backfire
Cinnamon
It’s one of our favorite spices because it complements everything from oatmeal to chai tea, and of course, apple pie. And few spices impact your overall health quite as well either…
You may already know that cinnamon can improve your memory, balance your blood sugar and lower your cholesterol.
Research has also tied it to pain relief, temperature regulations, cancer prevention, improved circulation, oral and respiratory health — and it’s good for your digestive woes too.
If you want to take cinnamon to improve your overall health or to get rid of a specific health problem, a ¼ teaspoon to one teaspoon per day should do the trick — sprinkled or prepared in food.
But, there are two types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon (also known as Chinese cinnamon). Ceylon cinnamon is what you’ll want to purchase, especially if you’re taking it daily for its health-boosting benefits. Ceylon cinnamon is purer than cassia cinnamon, which contains high doses of a toxic compound called coumarin. Couramin can take a toll on your liver and kidneys if you eat a lot of it.
So if you’re going to spice things up, do it right, for your health’s sake.
