Cinnamon, cinnamon, scented and sweet

You are an anti-aging warrior’s treat

A teaspoon a day keeps diabetes at bay

Plus urinary tract infections, gum disease and tooth decay

Polyphenols, antioxidants and anti-bacterial too

Blood thinning compounds that stimulate circulation for you

Powder or stick, it doesn’t matter a whit

Your metabolism will thank you when it spikes up a bit

Manganese, iron, calcium and fibre

You’ll be healthy as a horse and fit as a tiger

Powdered on pancakes it works as a tonic

For your blood circulation, brain and infection

Tweak attention, recognition, working memory to heed

A tad of cinnamon for visual-motor response speed

So add to your food with heavy a hand

For long life, health and an anti-aging stand

Try these delicious recipes with one of our favourite delightful spices, cinnamon.

Cozed Baked Oatmeal

4-Spice Whole Foods Curry

Double Chocolate Power Cookies

Blueberry Cinnamon Cold Buster

Vegan Pumpkin Coconut French Toast
