8 Surprising Uses for Cinnamon
5. Helps fight diabetes
A study conducted on women taking cinnamon and placebos for treating diabetes found out that cinnamon reduces the blood sugar level by increasing insulin production. It also helps metabolize the sugar faster.
6. Weight loss
Just as it works on diabetes patients, cinnamon is also helpful in weight loss. It reduces sugar and food cravings thus helping you eat less and lose more weight. Cinnamon also increases your metabolic rate burning calories faster.
7. Moth repellant
Place cinnamon with cloves and peppercorns in a cloth bag and place it in your cupboards or closets. It acts as a repellant to those pesky moths. You can also place a piece of cinnamon in between your clothes so they smell real good.
8. Ease menstrual cramps
Cinnamon is also quite helpful when it comes to easing those very painful menstrual cramps. Swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon with water during this time to deal with the pain.
