Cinnamon

Cinnamon has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on the body, just ½ a teaspoon of cinnamon per day can normalise your blood sugar and decrease cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose levels.

Only a teaspoon of Cinnamon contains over a gram of fibre, which means it is also an effective, natural remedy for digestive ailments such as indigestion, cramps and bloating.

The antibacterial and antifungal properties keep the skin free from infection and the anti-ageing properties protect the skin from free radicals. Why not try cinnamon in an anti-ageing herbal tea or try baking your own cinnamon banana bread.
