    Yeah, spices in general can be amazing. I do use my fair share of them.

    Jamie Eason claims cinnamon aides in digestion and metabolism. I *girl crush* her, so I buy into her theory.

    On a lighter note, I enjoy the taste of cinnamon so it does me no harm to have a little extra.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks, I knew cinnamon was good for you and sometimes add it to my protien shake, but I didn't know it was this good! I will make sure I add it EVERY DAY to something I eat.
