Thursday, March 12, 2020 IST
After a super hectic day at work, besides taking a hot shower, drawing a bath or simply making a hot cup of tea, coffee or cocoa, why not prepare a drink with fewer calories, delicious taste and some insane benefits? Yes, we are talking about introducing drinking warm milk with cinnamon as a part of your nightly de-stressing routine. Cinnamon mixed with warm milk can be a drink that can become a part of an active approach to wellness that keeps your stress in check and ensures you get a good night's sleep. And that's not it. Below, we put together a list of some more amazing benefits of drinking cinnamon with milk every night before sleeping, so that you can feel and look your best.
1. Drinking warm milk with cinnamon puts you to sleep.
Unable to sleep at night? Drinking warm milk with cinnamon every night before bed will get you your much deserved beauty sleep because cinnamon works wonders in relaxing
your muscles and removing tension from your body.
2. It treats cold and cough.
If like me, you happen to be one of those who catches a cough and a cold way too often, then this is a drink you should be consuming every day. Cinnamon enhances the way in which antioxidants can help the body protect itself, thereby strengthening your immunity.
3. Cinnamon is great for oral care.
Cinnamon has some fantastic strong anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that kill harmful bacteria in your mouth. Thereby protecting you from those painful visits to the dentist.
4. It facilitates weight loss.
One of the reasons I drink warm milk with cinnamon every night is because it facilitates weight loss. Another magical wonder of cinnamon is that it quickens your metabolism and enabling digestion faster. Thanks to this, you don't feel hungry for quite sometime and end up eating less. That's why a glass of warm milk with a punch of
cinnamon is recommended by almost every dietitian.
5. Cinnamon mixed in warm milk is a natural pain killer.
One of the most fascinating properties of cinnamon is it's ability to act as a pain killer. When cinnamon consumed with warm milk, instant relief from pain is achieved. This is because cinnamon undergoes a reaction with prostaglandin, which relaxes the muscles under stress. As a result, relief from the pain is achieved. Goodbye pain killers!
6. Cinnamon's anti-inflammatory properties are a huge win!
Cinnamon is also really good in fighting infections and repairing damaged tissues. So go ahead and make yourself a cuppa of warm milk mixed with cinnamon.
7. Cinnamon reduces the risk of heart disease.
A lot of studies show how cinnamon may help fight some key risk factors for heart disease, including cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.
8. Cinnamon lowers blood-sugar levels.
In people with type 2 diabetes, 1 gram or about half a teaspoon of
cinnamon per day has been shown to have beneficial effects on blood markers. No wonder then, so many people swear by drinking warm milk with cinnamon.
9. Cinnamon may protect against neuro-degenerative diseases.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive loss of the structure or function of brain cells. Alzheimer's is one such disease where cinnamon can provide significant improvement as two compounds found in cinnamon appear to inhibit the buildup of a protein called tau in the brain, which is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. However, more research is needed to prove this.
