Cinnamon does more than add a kick to our morning toast

Who doesn't love a piece of cinnamon toast in the morning.  But did you know that by adding cinnamon to
 food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative?  It is also believed that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.  Another study at Copenhagen University gave patients half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week. So try to incorporate this versatile spice into your every day life for a healthier you!
