"Cinnamon gives you an extra energy boost when combined with caffeinated coffee. While cinnamon works to keep blood sugar levels stable, it also helps to stabilise your energy levels, preventing the sugar spike and crash into fatigue that can happen thanks to meals and snacks," says Kapoor. Bhakti Kapoor also lists some health benefits of cinnamon that are supported by scientific research:

- Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants

- Cinnamon may cut the risk of heart disease

- Cinnamon can improve sensitivity to the hormone insulin

- Cinnamon lowers blood sugar levels and has a powerful anti-diabetic effect

The nutritionist also suggests some easy ways to add cinnamon in your diet for boosting overall well-being: - Use cinnamon and a splash of milk in your coffee in place of sugar and artificial creamer - Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on your oatmeal, wheat toast, or yogurt

- Drop a teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of herbal tea

Kapoor, however, adds that cinnamon is hot in nature and does not work for someone with a heaty body.

What does the Bible say about using cinnamon?

In Exodus 30:23 it is one of the ingredients of the "holy anointing oil"; in Proverbs 7:17 it is, along with myrrh and aloes, a perfume for a bed; in Song of Solomon 4:14 it is a very precious spice. Cinnamon is (Revelation 18:13) part of the merchandise of "Babylon the great."

CINNAMON

sin'-a-mun (qinnamon; kinnamomon):

Mentioned, like cassia, as a perfume. In Exodus 30:23 it is one of the ingredients of the "holy anointing oil"; in Proverbs 7:17 it is, along with myrrh and aloes, a perfume for a bed; in Song of Solomon 4:14 it is a very precious spice. Cinnamon is (Revelation 18:13) part of the merchandise of "Babylon the great." Cinnamon is the product of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, a laurel-like plant widely cultivated in Ceylon and Java. It has a profuse white blossom, succeeded by a nut from which the fragrant oil is obtained. The wood is the inner bark from branches which have reached a diameter of from 2 to 3 inches; the epidermis and pulpy matter are carefully scraped off before drying. In commerce the cheaper Cassia ligra of China is sometimes substituted for true cinnamon, and it is thought by some authorities that this was the true cinnamon of the ancients.

See, however, CASSIA.
