but only recently has it become popular to use these beverages for medicinal purposes. It can be consumed cold or hot depending on your preference. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of cinnamon, Ceylon, and cassia. Ceylon is considered healthier because it has less coumarin than cassia. However, Cassia is cheaper and more common. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, you will find some of the amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/ginger-cinnamon-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">health benefits<\/a>, nutrition facts, and side effects of drinking cinnamon tea.<\/span><\/p>\n\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Cinnamon_Tea_Facts\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Cinnamon_Tea_Facts\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cinnamon_Tea_Nutrition_Facts\"><\/span><strong>Cinnamon Tea Nutrition Facts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ground cinnamon contains small amounts of several minerals including iron, calcium, manganese, and zinc.\u00a0 Cinnamon also contains vitamins A, C, E, B vitamins, as well as magnesium and phosphorus (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/171320\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the above information, you can see that cinnamon <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/puer-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">tea<\/a> is a nutritional powerhouse with many possible health benefits to offer so let&#8217;s take a look at these benefits next!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cinnamon_Tea_Health_Benefits\"><\/span><strong>Cinnamon Tea Health Benefits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cinnamon tea is full of beneficial compounds that may offer various health benefits.

These antioxidants are capable of scavenging the harmful free radicals that damage cell membranes and DNA, accelerate skin aging, and lead to inflammatory diseases (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4466762\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polyphenol antioxidants in cinnamon have been suggested to be a natural defense against cancer, diabetes, asthma, and autoimmune diseases (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4466762\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suppresses_Inflammation\"><\/span><strong>Suppresses Inflammation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cinnamon is also a good source of catechins. Catechins are said to have more antioxidant activity than that of vitamin C or E (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4003790\/\">1<\/a>). In fact, some experts say that they may be more effective at scavenging free radicals than vitamin C.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, Cinnamon tea has the potential to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress that contribute to many types of diseases from cancer to arthritis because it&#8217;s loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like catechins and procyanidins (PPC) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4003790\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

However, the same effect has not been seen in specific subpopulations such as type 1 diabetics or postmenopausal type 2 diabetics. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Improve_Memory\"><\/span><strong>May Improve Memory<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies done in cells and in animal models have seen potential benefits of chemicals extracted from cinnamon when it comes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alzheimers.org.uk\/about-dementia\/risk-factors-and-prevention\/cinnamon-and-dementia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preventing Alzheimer\u2019s Disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

In studies done in cell cultures and in animals,\u00a0 certain chemicals extracted from cinnamon were seen to prevent abnormal cell growth or stimulate death of cancer cells, apoptosis, indicating that cinnamon may have <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/herbal-tea-benefits-side-effects\/\">potential<\/a> as an anticancer agent (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4003790\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
