Heart Healthy Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a popular spice used year round, though especially during the holiday season. It is also known for its welcoming aroma and delicious taste. Cinnamon is very high in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which may help the heart stay healthy (*1,*2). The antioxidants in cinnamon also have anti-inflammatory properties which studies have shown may help reduce many diseases including heart disease (*3,*4). This powerful spice has been shown to lower blood pressure (*5) and cholesterol (*6) as well. It is important, though, to choose the healthiest type of cinnamon, which is Ceylon or "true" cinnamon, preferably not Cassia. The Cassia cinnamon contains larger amounts of coumarin believed to be harmful to the liver in large doses (*7). Also, the healthier Ceylon cinnamon, which is much lower in coumarin (*8), is sweeter and lighter in taste. A recent study showed that a recommended cinnamon dose of just 120 mg per day can support healthy glucose levels (*9). This may in turn provide enough of the positive heart health benefits mentioned above including reduced inflammation, regulated cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure.
