When I was younger, I was always shocked by the amount of cinnamon my Grandma put onto her porridge. I couldn't understand why she would make a delicious bowl of white thick porridge and then spoil it by putting some weird brown spice all over it. Little did I know, she was creating a breakfast masterpiece. There is something about cinnamon which I absolutely adore. Just the addition of one teaspoon of the sweet, aromatic spice can completely transform the dish. Guess what - it also is beneficial to your health!
Cinnamon has proved effects on lowering blood sugar levels and therefore a great addition to any breakfast for people with type 2 diabetes as it improves the cells abilities to respond to insulin. Furthermore, this breakfast has the potential to increase your intelligence as the cinnamon acts as a cognitive stimulant, improving your working memory, visual-motor speed and virtual recognition memory. Wow, so that is that. Add cinnamon, it's great!
