Weight loss advantages:
cinnamon given therapeutically can improve glucose use and blood concentrations, which are known to favorably influence body fat levels (causing body fat levels to decrease \u2013 which is much of the premise of lower carbohydrate and lower glycemic index diets).
If you choose to use food-sourced cinnamon, buy a high quality brand of cinnamon sticks (correctly called quills) or powder, and keep it in an air-tight container away from light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
