Certainly when we go to the supermarket we do not buy food solely on the basis of what benefits they bring to our health. On the other hand, there are many factors that come into play and condition our choices among the shelves. First of all the taste, but also price and quality obviously have a great importance.
Precisely for this reason it often happens, perhaps after a long time, that you have “special” foods at home. That is foods that, in addition to presenting a flavor we like, also hide other characteristics. Which, at times, turn out to be truly extraordinary.
Small but great
While almost everyone knows the health benefits of fruits and vegetables, not as many people know the benefits of consuming spices. In fact, what many of us see only as a condiment, are actually great allies for the health of our body.
Although small in size, they show incredible capabilities. Not knowing them therefore turns out to be a real sin, as well as a spite we do to our body. Who may find it incredibly beneficial to add these spices to our daily diet.
Many do not use it but this spice is very useful against infections and halitosis
As we have said, there are several spices that have beneficial properties. After all, it is no coincidence that this is not the first time we have dealt with it. Not so long ago, in fact, we saw the reasons why so many appreciate turmeric even if very few know the benefits of combining it with this other spice.
Today, however, we want to reveal in particular two properties of an ingredient that is also very versatile. In fact, let’s see why many do not use it but this spice is very useful against infections and halitosis. We refer to the very good cinnamon.
Not many people know, but this spice with a strong and super tasty flavor retains two very important properties. That is, the anti-inflammatory and the antimicrobial. As also explained on the ISS website, in fact, this food proves to be able to counteract various infections, as well as prevent them.
Furthermore, again for the microbial function, it is also an excellent ally against a common ailment such as halitosis. As always, the suggestion we feel we can give, before making any food decision, is to contact your doctor. Only at that point, with his approval, will we be able to think of adding a few grams of this ingredient here and there.
