Are you outside in the cold raking leaves, shoveling snow? You need to stay warm to avoid aches, cramps, weakness and hypothermia. If you start to feel tired, depressed, or have numb extremities after being outside in cold weather take a pinch of cinnamon and place it on your tongue or in a cup of warm water. This hot, sweet cooking spice will help you to sweat out chills and prevent colds, flu, weakness, aches and other signs of exposure to cold weather conditions. Is eating a cinnamon roll good enough? No. To get the energy benefits of a spice you have to eat or drink it like a tea separated from other food and beverages. Cinnamon can also be used by girls who have a painful menstruation that feels better after the flow starts. They tend to be weak, pale, and chilled. Cinnamon stimulates blood circulation. That is how it helps eliminate pain. Do you obsess about problems? Some health experts recommend cinnamon as a way to refresh mental as well as physical vitality. Cinnamon is also highly recommended for regular use in diabetes. To improve insulin uptake, add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder daily to tea, oatmeal or water.
