Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor spoke about the unexpected beneficial properties of cinnamon.
According to the department's press service, the popular spice, obtained from the bark of cinnamon trees, contains a valuable substance – cinnamaldehyde. It can suppress the development of respiratory infections and the growth of dangerous bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella, which is especially important in the autumn-winter period.
“Warm drinks with the addition of cinnamon reduce headaches, increase sweating and remove swelling of the nasal mucosa during colds,” noted specialists from the regional administration.
Cinnamon also effectively fights E. coli, a common cause of food poisoning. The spice is rich in flavonoids, which have a beneficial effect on the nervous system of city residents, helping to fight stress and irritability.
Experts recommend adding cinnamon to seasonal drinks and dishes to strengthen the immune system and improve the overall tone of the body.
