Cinnamon:
*With its anti-coagulation feature, it protects cardiovascular health and prevents vascular occlusion.
*It reduces the levels of LDL and triglyceride, which we call bad cholesterol.

• For those who have gas problems - indigestion, add cinnamon sticks to tea, especially after meals. Its addition will reduce the feeling of discomfort.
• The CATCHIN substance it contains reduces the feeling of nausea.
• It reduces cramps before menstruation.
• It is good for intestinal regularity thanks to the minerals it contains.
• However, when buying cinnamon, it is useful to pay attention to its type. Although there are about 100 different types of cinnamon, there are two types of cinnamon commonly sold in the market: Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon
Casin cinnamon is more effective on diabetic patients than Ceylon cinnamon. Although it is more effective, taking excessive amounts of the substance called 'coumarin', which is found in this type of cinnamon and prevents blood clotting, can cause liver damage in children and sensitive people. Ceylon cinnamon contains a very small amount of coumarin.
** Compared to Ceylon cinnamon, Chinese cinnamon contains 63 times more coumarin in powder form and 18 times more coumarin in stick form.
Not stated on it. Otherwise, it is difficult to tell which cinnamon sold in powder form is Ceylon and which is Chinese cinnamon, but you can easily tell the difference in cinnamon sticks. Cassia cassia is dark, thick-layered and looks like a hollow tube. Ceylon cinnamon, on the other hand, is lighter in color, consists of thin layers and can be broken easily.
