Cinnamon has been shown to lower blood sugar, detoxify the body, and stimulate brain function. It also has antiseptic properties, and a cup of strong cinnamon tea taken in the first 48 hours, might “nip a bladder infection in the bud.” It might even play a role in warding off Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found that the cinnamon compounds cinnamaldehyde and epicatechin could help stop “tangles” of tau protein—notorious in the memory-robbing neurodegenerative disease—from forming in the brain.
Tau proteins are more likely to form clumps and tangles with age, but people with Alzheimer’s are known to have more of these clumps than people without the disease. Researchers found in cell lab research that cinnamaldehyde could help to prevent these aggregations by protecting the tau proteins from oxidative stress.
Researchers admit they need to do more studies, and are quick to say people should not eat huge quantities of cinnamon thinking it is some sort of magic bullet. Just recognizing that spices (including cinnamon) have specific health benefits allows you to include them in healthy ways that you can enjoy.
Sprinkle some cinnamon onto an apple, and bake it until it is nicely tender. Serve it with a moderate portion of meat for your main meal, or as a healthy snack option. I appreciate Gala or Golden Delicious. Yummy….
This week, put more spice in your life!
