Keto Chai Tea is a healthy beverage because it is sugar free and it typically includes cinnamon as a key ingredient. Here’s why drinking Chai Tea with cinnamon is so beneficial;
Top Health Benefits of Cinnamon
High in Antioxidants
Cinnamon is loaded with polyphenols making cinnamon a super-food. These antioxidants fight cancer and other disease.
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti-inflammatories help your body self repair damage. Damage can come from poor food choices and other environmental factors. Stress can cause inflammation. Anti-inflammatories fight the damage these factors can cause.
Fights Heart Disease
Cinnamon has been shown to reduce the level of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. These are the “bad” cholesterol that clogs the heart arteries and can lead to a heart attack.
Improves Insulin Response
Insulin is the primary hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. It’s job is to help transport sugar from your blood to your cells. Your body becomes insulin resistant when your insulin gets frayed from too much sugar intake and is not able to do its job. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes.
Cinnamon is a strong factor in reducing insulin resistance. This allows your insulin to do its job. In addition, reducing your dietary intake of sugar will drastically reduce your bodies resistance to insulin. You want to create an internal environment where insulin can do its job!
Brain Health
Cinnamon has been found to improve brain health. It breaks down a protein called tau. This protein can build up and clog the brain.
Fights Bacteria and Fungus
Cinnamon helps fight infection. It helps to reduce harmful bacteria and fungus in the body. This includes fighting cavities and tooth decay in the mouth.
