Snacking On: Apple Cinnamon

My children's favorite after-school snack that's most requested is apple cinnamon.  And its one of my favorite snacks too!  We all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but did you know that cinnamon has health benefits too?  Here are some fun facts about cinnamon:

• regulates blood sugar--good for someone who has diabetes
• appetite suppressant
• improves digestion/diarrhea
• helps with excess menstrual flow
• inhibits bacterial growth
• helps with arthritis and menopause

Before you ingest cinnamon by the spoonful, check out some of these side effects.  Too much is never too good of anything of course!
