Cinnamon is a famous spice that is linked to many health benefits.
Ceylon cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects. These properties mean Ceylon cinnamon supports your immune health.
The antioxidants in cinnamon can help relieve inflammation, which may help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline, and more.
In a study from RMIT’s School of Engineering, scientists found adding cinnamon to your diet can cool your body by up to two degrees.
And the spice may also contribute to a general improvement in overall health.
The findings showed that cinnamon maintained the integrity of the stomach wall.
In the study, the team found cinnamon in pigs’ food reduces gas by decreasing the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin from the stomach walls, which in turn cools the pigs’ stomachs during digestion.
No wonder cinnamon is so popular in warm regions as taking it makes people feel better and gives them a feeling of cooling down.
The research is part of a bigger study into gut health using swallowable gas sensor capsules or smart pills.
The team says gut gases were the by-product of digestion and could provide valuable insights into the functioning and health of the gut.
The study suggests how swallowable gas sensor capsules can help provide new physiological information that will improve the understanding of diet or medicine.
