Cinnamon may help stop fat from accumulating on the belly, a new study claims. This favorite spice can slow down the process of fat-storing in the body and also reduce the risk of heart diseases that result from unhealthy eating practices.
Researchers who presented their findings on Saturday at the American Heart Association’s conference said that cinnamon can reduce the risk of damage to the body caused by a high-fat diet by activating the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant systems.
To arrive at their findings, the scientists conducted the study on rats, putting them on a high-fat diet and, at the same time, giving them cinnamon supplements for 12 weeks. The rats were then compared to a different group (control) that was put on the same diet but were not given the popular spice.
