Cinnamon and Fertility Go Hand In Hand
As daylight savings time has ended and the weather outside begins to chill, many seasonal dishes and spices are becoming more prevalent on our dinner tables. One such spice, cinnamon, is not only a tasty additional to many of our favorite holiday dishes, but also offers us many health and fertility related benefits.
There are many commonly unknown benefits of cinnamon.
- Many are unaware of the tremendous amounts of antioxidants that cinnamon houses. Antioxidants are really important in your diet as they fight off damage of our body’s cells, which can result in a plethora of diseases like cancer and heart disease.
- Cinnamon is great for counteracting inflammation naturally throughout the body. Inflammation is often the cause of arthritis, chronic pain, and heart problems so increasing your cinnamon intake can help lower your problems with these health issues.
- For those who are diabetic, cinnamon has also been shown in studies to help reduce blood sugar levels, as it can partner well with insulin.
Cinnamon can also help with fertility problems you might encounter. In Chinese medicine, cinnamon bark is often used in various ways to promote and increase fertility in males and females alike. A recent study has even found positive effects on the quality of sperm from men that increased their cinnamon intake. If you struggle with irregular menstrual cycles, cinnamon may also help mediate and regulate these issues.
Regularly consuming quality amounts of cinnamon can be hard. However, an easy remedy to fix this is cinnamon tea.
You can generally make your own cinnamon tea with lemon, boiling water and cinnamon stick or buy pre-made cinnamon tea bags in your local grocery store.
Whether you like it warm to start or end your day or chilled to keep you hydrated, cinnamon tea is always a healthy and convenient beverage option.
