Nutrition Tips:

  • A systematic review completed in 2013 exemplified cinnamon to have a plethora of health benefits. Cinnamon was shown to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, blood sugar lowering, and anti-inflammatory activities. Further research is needed to explore the extent of healthful benefits in humans, but we don’t hesitate to add this spice to lattes, smoothies, and sweet potatoes!
