4. Antioxidant Rich: Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which protect your body from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and help improve overall health.
5. Helps Fight Bacterial and Fungal Infections: Cinnamaldehyde, an active component in cinnamon, can help fight various kinds of infection. Cinnamon oil has been shown to effectively treat respiratory tract infections caused by fungi and can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, including Listeria and Salmonella.
6. Neuroprotective Effects: Studies suggest that cinnamon may help preserve brain function and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s due to its protective effects on neurons and its ability to enhance motor function.
7. May Reduce the Risk of Cancer: Cinnamon has been studied for its potential role in cancer prevention. It’s thought to reduce cancer risk by inhibiting tumor growth and the formation of blood vessels in tumors, and by causing cancerous cells to self-destruct (apoptosis).
8. Anti-fungal, Anti-bacterial, and Anti-viral Properties: Beyond its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities, cinnamon can also fight bacterial, fungal, and viral elements in foods, making it a natural food preservative.
