We’ve consulted our registered dietician, Michelle Rubinstein, and she’s sharing helpful information on the must-have spice you need to promote energy and immunity.
Benefits of cinnamon
Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants and has been shown to help fight inflammation while combating bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Not-to-mention, this nutrient-dense spice is chock full of flavor, making it easier to curb those sugar cravings.
