Cinnamon, a common household spice, for thousands of years this gift of nature has been part of our diets and is very much beneficial to human health.
Findings of Jun Wu, Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, have revealed that Cinnamon contains an essential Oil called cinnamaldehyde, which gives Cinnamon its flavour, improves metabolic health by acting directly on fat cells, or adipocytes, which normally store energy in the form of lipids, inducing them to start burning energy through a process called thermogenesis.
Jan Wu said that “So if it can help protect against obesity, too, it may offer an approach to metabolic health that is easier for patients to adhere to.”
It is also used in Food Industry and it would be easy to convince patients to include Cinnamon in their diet.
The above findings have already been mentioned in Tibb-e- Nabvi recommended by Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
