Cinnamon: spice
How much do I need: 1/2 teaspoon a day
Cinnamon's Job: helps with blood flow, helps control blood sugar (slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals), "anti-microbial" (helps stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast Candida), and increases brain activity.
Cinnamon Sources: organically grown cinnamon, stick or powder form.
Side Note: Store in a tightly sealed glass container in a cool, dark and dry place. Ground cinnamon will keep for about six months, while cinnamon sticks will stay fresh for about one year. Store in refrigerator to extend shelf life. To check to see if it is still fresh, smell the cinnamon. If it does not smell sweet, it is no longer fresh and should be discarded.
