Cinnamon: A Natural Way to Sleep Better and Boost Metabolism
Cinnamon isn’t just a flavorful spice — it may help improve sleep and support metabolism.
Its calming scent and effects on blood sugar promote “deeper and longer sleep” while reducing stress.
A study in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that cinnamon extract increased sleep-promoting chemicals like serotonin and melatonin and lowered stress hormones.
Beyond sleep, cinnamon can aid weight management.
Research shows it may lower body weight and BMI, slightly raise body temperature to burn fat,
and stabilize blood sugar to reduce cravings.
Simple ways to enjoy cinnamon at night include:
- Warm milk: Stir ½ teaspoon into warm milk.
-
Herbal tea: Boil a cinnamon stick with lemon.
-
Sprinkle on food: Add to yogurt, oatmeal, or baked fruit.
Used in moderation, cinnamon can be a gentle addition to your evening routine,
supporting overall wellness.
