Honey and Cinnamon

-
Honey and cinnamon are two natural ingredients with multiple health benefits.
Some people claim that when these two ingredients are combined, they can cure almost any disease.
While there’s evidence that each has some medicinal uses, several claims about the mixture of honey and cinnamon seem too good to be true.
This article reviews the benefits of honey and cinnamon, separating fact from fiction.

Honey is a sweet liquid produced by bees. It has been used for centuries as both a food and medicine.
Today it’s most commonly used in cooking and baking, or as a sweetener in beverages.
Meanwhile, cinnamon is a spice that comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree.
People harvest and dry its bark, which curls into what are commonly known as cinnamon sticks. You can purchase cinnamon as whole sticks, ground into a powder, or as an extract.
Both honey and cinnamon have multiple health benefits on their own. However, some people assume that combining the two is even more beneficial.
In 1995 a Canadian tabloid published an article that provided a long list of ailments that could be cured by a mixture of honey and cinnamon.
Since then, bold claims about the combination of honey and cinnamon have multiplied.
While these two ingredients have plenty of health applications, not all of the claims about combining the two are backed by science.
SUMMARY
Honey and cinnamon are ingredients that can be used as both foods and medicines. However, not all of the claims about honey and cinnamon are supported by research.

Cinnamon is a popular spice in cooking and baking that can also be taken as a supplement.
There are two major types:
  • Cassia cinnamon. Also known as Chinese cinnamon, this variety is the most popular type in supermarkets. It’s less expensive, of lower quality than Ceylon cinnamon, and has some potential side effects.
  • Ceylon cinnamon. This type is known as “true cinnamon.” It is much harder to find than Cassia cinnamon and has a slightly sweeter flavor.
Cinnamon’s health benefits are linked to active compounds in its essential oil.
The most well-studied cinnamon compound is cinnamaldehyde, and it’s what gives cinnamon its spicy flavor and aroma (1).
  • May reduce inflammation. Long-term inflammation increases the risk of chronic disease. Studies show cinnamon may help reduce inflammation (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source).
  • May help treat neurodegenerative diseases. A few test-tube studies suggest that cinnamon might help slow the progression of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. These results need to be confirmed in human studies (4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
  • May help protect against cancer. A few animal and test-tube studies found that cinnamon helps prevent the growth and reproduction of cancer cells. However, these results need to be confirmed with human studies (8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source).
Some have also suggested that cinnamon may be a natural treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and food poisoning.
However, there’s not sufficient evidence to support these claims.
SUMMARY
Cinnamon is one of the healthiest spices in the world. Both types of cinnamon have health benefits, but Ceylon cinnamon is the better choice if you’re going to consume it regularly.

THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK NEWS This article was posted on The New York Times . It posted here by Farah Hanim for educational purposes only. By Katie Rogers and Annie Karni As his administration grapples with reopening the economy and responding to the coronavirus crisis, President Trump worries about his re-election and how the news media is portraying him. President Trump arrives in the Oval Office these days as late as noon when he is usually in a sour mood after his morning marathon of television. He has been up in the White House master bedroom as early as 5 a.m. watching Fox News, then CNN, with a dollop of MSNBC thrown in for rage viewing. He makes calls with the TV on in the background, his routine since he first arrived at the White House. But now there are differences. The president sees few allies no matter which channel he clicks. He is angry even with Fox, an old security blanket, for not portraying him as he wou

By: Nur 'Inayah It’s a confusing time for all of us, but more so for children and pets who may not be able to fathom why life is on pause. One dejected dog who’s stuck indoors is especially upset by the lockdown. Three-year-old dog Big Poppa was snapped looking crestfallen as he watched two children play outside from his balcony. A picture of the dejected dog was shared by owner Rashida Ellis, 38, a costume designer from Atlanta, Georgia, on Twitter. It has since blown up online, attracting the likes of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and even Ellen DeGeneres. She tweeted: ‘Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building. He just watches them from the patio.’ The tweet has more than 600,000 likes, with many wishing they could play with Big Poppa. Maisie Williams wrote: ‘Not being dramatic but I would literally die for Big Poppa,’ meanwhile Ellen used the opportunity to remind people the importance of social distancing. ‘Stay insid
