Cinnamon tea
Cinnamon tea helps improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. In a cup of hot water put 2-3 cinnamon sticks and allow it to infuse for a few minutes. Strain the tea into another cup and enjoy your drink.

But little did I know that this combination can do much more than just keep me in shape. When I went through a few research articles on the net, I got to know about some of its lesser-known health benefits. Here goes the list.
