Diabetes is a growing concern. This has a lot to do with poor diet and lack of exercise. It’s crucial that you manage your blood sugar, as high blood sugar is also detrimental to your cardiovascular health. Cinnamon helps to control blood sugar levels.

It is also noted in preventing and treating cancer, cholesterol, hypertension, stroke, ulcers, and wounds. When possible, buy whole sticks and grind them as needed. If you’re buying ground, choose an option that has been ground from the whole quills. The next time you cook a soup or stew, simmer one quill within this dish. You can also sprinkle it on your fruit, use it as a rub, or make a spiced tea.
