say yes to cinnamon!

Cinnamon is known to help support healthy blood sugar levels, even in people who already have type II diabetes. In fact, supplement companies have now been adding it to vitamins that help balance blood sugar. A new study shows that cinnamon helps lower blood pressure in people who have hypertension (high blood pressure). That's one more reason why cinnamon, a cheap and tasty spice, should be added to your daily routine.

A nice way to incorporate cinnamon into your day would be to add a few teaspoons of cinnamon to a bowl of oats each morning. Oats help lower cholesterol, calm the nervous system, and have a good amount of fiber to keep your bowels healthy and moving. Throw in some nuts and goji berries (or fresh berries in Summer), and you have an amazingly potent energy-boosting breakfast.
