Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cinnamon
Metabolic Effect: Cinnamon has blood sugar balancing properties and can help reduce sweet cravings. Thanks to the antioxidants it contains, it protects the body against free radicals.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed with foods such as yogurt, milk or oatmeal. It can also be added to tea or coffee to obtain a different flavor. It is beneficial to consume small amounts daily.
Things to Consider: High consumption of cinnamon can cause allergic reactions in some people. Excessive consumption of cinnamon types, especially those containing coumarin, can lead to liver problems. One teaspoon of cinnamon meets a significant portion of the daily antioxidant requirement.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from cinnamon, it may be sufficient to walk at a light pace for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, climbing stairs at a brisk pace for 2 minutes can help you burn the same amount of calories.
