Recent studies have shown that cinnamon may also have positive effects on brain health. One of the main compounds found in cinnamon, called cinnamaldehyde, has been found to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation.
