Not only does cinnamon smell great, this sweet spice is a real health and fat-loss superhero too.

It has great effect on blood sugar. It slows the rate your stomach empties after you eat, meaning it can curb your appetite and help you avoid insulin spikes that lead to fat storage.

Cinnamon can also help boost your brain-power. Even simply smelling the spice has been proven to enhance multiple areas of brain function, from memory to visual-motor speed.

Increase your cinnamon intake by adding it to your coffee, making a sweet-tasting muesli or cooking it up in a stew.
