Benefit Neurodegenerative Diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases often cause progressive loss of the function or structure of your brain cells. Two of the most common forms are Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Many studies have recently shown that cinnamon contains two compounds which can prevent tau, a protein, from building up in the brain. As a result, it is helpful in slowing down the growth of Alzheimer’s disease. For people with Parkinson’s disease, this ingredient helps to protect neurons, normalize the levels of the neurotransmitter, and improve motor function. [12]
