LONG LIVE CINNAMON !!!

One day I had just gotten back from the gym when I started getting super hungry, (THE FREAKY KIND), and felt like I could just devour anything. I ran out of my whey protein so I had nothing to help me recover, and control my hunger easily.  I devoured what I could. My gains went into the entire box of chocolate chip cookies I shoved down my mouth.  I was upset, and decided I would punish myself in the morning with more cardio than ever.  I drank my tea, and called it a night.  During my so called punishment in the morning, I realized I was feeling unusually good considering all the things I ate the night before, and even felt lighter. Everything else was in place except for that momentarily slip the night before.  I had no apple cider vinegar, and no whey protein, my vitamins were still the same, and everything else was just as it's always been.  So what was it? Then when I was about to go to sleep my dad knocks on my door, and leaves me a cup of tea.  That's when it clicked! The time I have been without the apple cider vinegar has been the same as the time my dad started making me this new tea every night.  He always gives me tea at night before I sleep, it had stopped for a while, but then he started again.  I sniffed it (yes wolverine style), and realized it was a different one.  Next thing you knew I was interviewing my dad with questions about the tea he's been giving me every night.  Turns out it was just cinnamon tea. Sometimes he puts honey, sometimes he doesn't.  He also gives it to my mom so it can help her with her diabetes.  I looked into it, and found various benefits that I myself have been experiencing.  This is my new go to drink now, and wanted to share with whoever bothered reading this. Cinnamon has been found to control sugar levels in the blood, help with circulation, lower cholesterol, helps with arthritis, strengthens immune system, helps with preventing cancer, reduces weight over continual use, and much more.  No wonder the chocolate chip cookies came, and went like nothing ever happened.  If you don't believe me, look it up. If you still feel skeptic, give it a try.  I have been maintaining my level of fitness much, much better despite not taking my whey protein, and apple cider vinegar.  So if you don't want to invest in high end supplements, take the time to give a cinnamon stick a try.  It's helping me out, I know it will do the same for you. :-)
