Cinnamon is not only a fragrant spice that enhances dishes and desserts, it is also a real health treasure. Consumed as an infusion, it becomes a powerful natural ally in the fight against fatigue and for weight loss.

Cinnamon infusion is a simple, natural and effective drink for boosting energy, activating metabolism and maintaining a healthy weight, while taking care of your digestion.

A natural energy booster

An article “Cinnamon Converts Poor Learning Mice to Good Learners: Implications for Memory Improvement” published in the “Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology” (2016) shows that cinnamon stimulates blood circulation and provides an immediate invigorating effect. Studies suggest that cinnamon has positive effects on mental performance, including memory. Its use has a positive influence on cognitive mechanisms, improving mental capacity. Drinking a cup of cinnamon herbal tea in the morning or early afternoon naturally combats fatigue and restores vitality without the need for caffeine.

An effective slimming aid

Thanks to its thermogenic properties, cinnamon helps the body burn more calories. The study “The Effects of Cinnamomum cassia on Blood Glucose Values are Greater than those of Dietary Changes Alone”, published in “Nutrition and Metabolics Insights”, reveals that infusing cinnamon regulates the body's metabolism.  The study “The Effects of Cinnamomum cassia on Blood Glucose Values are Greater than those of Dietary Changes Alone” published in “Nutrition and Metabolics Insights” reveals that infusing cinnamon also regulates blood sugar levels, limiting cravings and sugar cravings. A regular infusion therefore helps to control weight while aiding digestion.

An ally against bloating

Cinnamon tea is also known for its carminative and antispasmodic effects: it reduces gastrointestinal spasms, relieves bloating, improves intestinal transit, encourages the expulsion of intestinal gas and gives the sensation of a lighter stomach. The study “Chemistry, biogenesis, and biological activities of Cinnamomum zeylanicum” published in “Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition” (2011) shows that cinnamon tea acts as a genuine metabolic gas pedal. It stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, making it easier to break down food and assimilate it.

 Recipe: Boil 1 cup of water. Add 1 cinnamon stick (or 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder). Leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Add a little honey or lemon for extra flavour. Consume 1 to 2 times a day, preferably after meals.
