Nutritional Nugget - Cinnamon!
Cinnamon is not only delicious and has a ton of uses in cooking, baking, and topping foods, but it also has a long list of medicinal uses. Cinnamon helps stabilizes blood sugar and its healing properties come from the essential oils found in its bark. It is loaded with antioxidants, is known to reduce inflammation, improve sensitivity to insulin, and may fight against cancer.
