Bloomberg—Postmortem Sperm Retrieval Is Turning Dead Men Into Fathers

July 18, 2022

[A]bout 20 people, young and old, sit around the table in the main room of a public housing apartment in this city near the Lebanese border. They help themselves to pasta, shawarma, cakes, and coffee, and they remember German Rozhkov. Rozhkov, a Ukrainian immigrant turned soldier, was killed 20 years ago, when he was 25. One of the children darting among the mourners—sitting on laps and nodding shyly—is 5-year-old Veronica. She never met Rozhkov, of course, but she’s his daughter. Thirty hours after he was killed, his sperm was extracted, preserved in liquid nitrogen, and, 14 years later, used to fertilize the eggs of Irena Akselrod. She didn’t know Rozhkov, but she volunteered to bear and raise his child after meeting Ludmila. Persuading a judge to grant Ludmila Rozhkov and Akselrod the right to German’s sperm included testimony about his desire for children. But there was no case law covering when a dead man’s sperm could be used to produce offspring. In his ruling, the family court judge wrote: “When the law doesn’t provide an answer, the court must turn to the principles of Jewish heritage. ‘Give me children, or I shall die,’ our mother Rachel cried out. This logic reflects man’s desire to continue through his offspring the physical and spiritual existence of himself, his family, and people. We are told, ‘Be fruitful and multiply.’ ” Being an active grandmother is something Rozhkov feared she’d never get to experience on that day in March 2002 when officers came to visit her with the unbearable news. When she saw them, she blocked the door in an attempt to avoid hearing the truth. Later, in grief, she shouted out in Russian, “We must get his sperm!” No one, including those who spoke Russian, knew what she was talking about. After a man dies, his sperm cells live up to 72 hours and can be retrieved with an incision to the testicle, then frozen. “We checked with legal and medical authorities and went ahead,” Mor says. “Today it is becoming routine.” “Routine” may overstate it. There are a few dozen children like Veronica. But the military practice of postmortem sperm retrieval is now a familiar topic in Israel, even if it’s extremely rare elsewhere. A couple of dozen army families are eager to replicate the experience. When parents of a dead soldier go on Facebook or TV seeking a mother for their future grandkid—not only a surrogate but also a kind of daughter-in-law who’ll raise the child—the response can be overwhelming. Hundreds of women volunteer in a display of national solidarity and what seems to be a growing preference for a sperm donor who isn’t anonymous and whose family will be involved. The country’s tiny size and population clusters help with child rearing, with adult children rarely living more than an hour from their parents and often within a few minutes. “We are very postmodern in our reproductive practices,” says Zvi Triger, a professor of family law at the College of Management Academic Studies. “Now, even being dead doesn’t prevent you from having children.”

This has been going on, albeit at an accelerating (and ever more legally enshrined) pace, for quite some time by the way.

National Cinnamon Day

Celebrate and appreciate one of the world’s favorite ancient spices by getting excited about National Cinnamon Day. So grab a favorite cinnamon treat and read on to learn more about this delicious spice and the ways it has been part of human history for thousands of years!

History of National Cinnamon Day

Native to Ceylon, which is modern day Sri Lanka, cinnamon’s first recordings are from Chinese writings that date as far back as 2800 BC. Even today in the Cantonese language, cinnamon is still known as “kwai”. And in the Malay language, it goes by “kayumanis”, which means “sweet wood”. This is certainly an apt description of this spicy but uniquely sweet flavor.

During medieval times, doctors found that cinnamon worked well as a treatment for coughs, sore throats and hoarseness. It may also have been considered a status symbol and was often used as a special imported gift given to monarchs, royalty and other people of importance.

Cinnamon, along with other precious spices might seem rather innocuous now, but in the early days of their discovery, several wars were fought over the lands where cinnamon came from. The Portuguese, Dutch and British armies all sought to conquer Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka) in an effort to obtain full access to their spices.

Today, sourcing cinnamon comes with much less angst and political struggle as, for most people, it’s easy to simply pop over to the local grocery store, health food store or spice shop to pick some up. Typically cinnamon can be found in two varieties, ground or whole. Ground cinnamon is used in many different recipes for baking and cooking, while whole cinnamon sticks are more often steeped into beverages or infused into flavoring syrups.

Of course, cinnamon is really the star of the show when it comes to the beloved pumpkin pie spice. Combined with allspice, nutmeg and clove, cinnamon is the base for this grouping of flavors that represents all things fall.

In honor of National Cinnamon Day, it’s time to get creative and enjoy cinnamon in a whole myriad of ways!

National Cinnamon Day Timeline

2000 BC Spices are exchanged along the Silk Road

A network of sea routes link East to West, from Japan all the way over to Europe, and cinnamon is one of the spices traded on this route.

65 AD Emperor Nero burns cinnamon

Nero is said to have burned a year’s worth of Rome’s supply of cinnamon at his wife’s funeral. 

14th Century Portuguese explorers find cinnamon

While traders brought the spice to the West, the place where it originates from is kept secret until the Portuguese discover it in Ceylon.

Early 1800s British take over Ceylon

Defeating the Dutch occupiers, the British take over the island country of Ceylon, gaining full access to cinnamon.

1930s Cinnamon candy is made

Produced by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company, Red Hots are made using the panned method of candy making.

How to Celebrate National Cinnamon Day

Get excited about cinnamon and enjoy National Cinnamon Day with some of these fun and clever ideas for celebrating:

Eat Something Cinnamon

From cinnamon candy to cinnamon rolls and everything in between, National Cinnamon Day is best celebrated by enjoying the flavors of this delicious spice. Whether it’s simply grabbing a pack of cinnamon gum from the local convenience store, or a cinnamon latte from a local coffee shop, this is the day to enjoy all things cinnamon!

In fact, while often associated with sweet things in the West, cinnamon is also often used in savory dishes in many cultures. From curries to mole sauces to barbecue rubs, cinnamon can be used in every meal of the day for breakfast lunch and dinner!

Try a cinnamon roll or a healthy bowl of oatmeal flavored with cinnamon for breakfast. Lunch could consist of a Hawaiian pizza topped with pineapple, ham and almond slivers, sprinkled with delicious cinnamon. And dinner? Well, a big vat of butter chicken, cinnamon green lentil soup or chicken shawarma would do nicely, thank you very much!

Learn the Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Cinnamon is more than just a yummy way to flavor foods and beverages! It is also a natural substance that offers a whole host of properties that may be beneficial to human health. There’s a reason that it was often offered as a gift to kings!

Consider some of these interesting benefits of including cinnamon as part of a healthy diet:

Cinnamon is full of antioxidants. Fighting off free radicals is the name of the game when it comes to preventing health problems such as cancer, heart disease and other issues.

Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation can be helpful in fighting off foreign bodies, but too much inflammation can cause huge health problems like arthritis, asthma, diabetes, cancer and so much more.

Cinnamon may help prevent heart disease. This unassuming spice has been linked as a way to reduce heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the world today.

Cinnamon can help balance insulin. A serious problem today is insulin resistance which can cause type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Cinnamon can help to reduce the body’s resistance to the hormone insulin and help it do its job well.

Enjoy Baking with Cinnamon

Cinnamon brings a whole host of opportunities for cooking and baking in the kitchen at home. From cinnamon rolls to snickerdoodle cookies, from cinnamon donuts to cinnamon coffee cake, this spice really has it all!

Get creative by adding cinnamon sugar to honey and rolling it in phyllo dough for a pseudo-baklava taste. Or go a bit more traditional by baking an all-American apple pie that is, of course, spiced with cinnamon. Another enjoyable way to use cinnamon is to add it to a traditional loaf of quick bread, such as banana bread, pumpkin bread.

Savor a Cup of Cinnamon Tea

While many people think of cooking and baking with cinnamon, one of the best ways to enjoy this delicious spice is by steeping it into a hot beverage. Teas made from cinnamon can be not only tasty but can also offer a nice way to infuse some of the health benefits that were mentioned above.

So, in honor of National Cinnamon Day, perhaps consider trying out one of these delightful brands of cinnamon tea:

Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice Tea. This is the most popular flavor of this company’s tea that is sold throughout the world, its flavors are of cinnamon, orange peel and sweet cloves.

The Republic of Tea Cinnamon Plum Tea. This is a black tea that is blended with zingy cinnamon spice and offers the calm taste of ripe plums.

Bigelow Black Tea Cinnamon Stick. A classic version with a spicy kick, this black tea is just the right balance of sweet and spicy.

National Cinnamon Day FAQs

Can dogs have cinnamon?

Cinnamon is not toxic to dogs, but it could cause indigestion so it may be best to avoid giving cinnamon to a dog.

Is cinnamon good for you?

Yes! Cinnamon is a healthy spice that contains antioxidants and may be helpful in fighting against heart disease, insulin resistance, and might even protect against cancer.

Where does cinnamon come from?

Originating from trees in Sri Lanka, which is an island in the Indian Ocean, a lot of cinnamon is now grown in Indonesia.

How to make cinnamon sugar

Cinnamon sugar is easy! Just combine 2 tablespoons of cinnamon with ½ cup white sugar and combine.

Can cinnamon go bad?

Though cinnamon will not usually “go bad”, it can get old and lose some of its strength and flavor.

Qatar's Sense of taste Pleasers: A Manual for Food Service Areas of interest

In the core of the Middle Eastern Bay lies a culinary heaven ready to be investigated: Qatar. This little yet dynamic country brags a rich embroidery flavour, drawing motivation from its different social impacts and present day cosmopolitanism. From customary Qatari cooking to global pleasures, Qatar's food Service Market offers plenty of choices to tempt your taste buds. Go along with me as we set out on a gastronomic excursion through Qatar's top food Service Areas of interest.

Investigating Qatari Cooking:

Our process starts with a jump into the rich embroidery of Qatari food. Established in Bedouin custom and vigorously affected by the country's waterfront area, Qatari dishes frequently highlight fish, rice, and flavours. Customary strengths like Machboos (flavoured rice with meat, typically chicken or sheep), Harees (a porridge-like dish produced using wheat and meat), and Mathrooba (an exquisite stew of meat and vegetables) exhibit the profundity of Qatari culinary legacy.

To encounter valid Qatari flavours, go to neighbourhood diners like Al Jasra Conventional Food, where you can appreciate dishes ready with revered recipes that have gone down through ages. These foundations offer a brief look into Qatar's social legacy while fulfilling your desires for customary passage.

Worldwide Gastronomy in Qatar:

Notwithstanding its customary roots, Qatar's food scene is everything except stale. With a different exile populace and a developing cosmopolitan viewpoint, the nation has turned into a mixture of global foods. From Lebanese and Indian to Italian and Japanese, you'll track down a bunch of eating choices to suit each sense of taste.

Enjoy the kinds of the Levant at eateries like Mamig, where fragrant shawarma and mezze platters rule. For a sample of legitimate Indian cooking, visit Flavor Market in W Doha Inn, where enticing curries and baked dishes are anticipated. Hankering a cut of Italy? La Spiga by Paper Moon offers a culinary excursion through the kinds of Tuscany, with hand crafted pastas and wood-terminated pizzas getting everyone's attention.

Upscale Feasting Encounters:

For those looking for a more refined culinary experience, Qatar's upscale feasting scene conveys in spades. Michelin-featured gourmet specialists and acclaimed restaurateurs have settled in the nation, hoisting Qatar food Service Market to worldwide praise.

Feast in style at Nobu Doha, where big name cook Nobu Matsuhisa's imaginative Japanese-Peruvian combination food becomes the overwhelming focus against the setting of the Middle Eastern Bay. In the interim, Hakkasan at The St. Regis Doha offers contemporary Cantonese dishes mixed with customary flavours, making it a #1 among burger joints.

Embracing Qatar's Food Service Market:

As we cross Qatar's culinary scene, it becomes obvious that the country's food Service Market is a unique biological system, continually developing to satisfy the needs of its different populace. Whether you're longing for conventional Qatari passage, worldwide indulgences, or haute food, Qatar has something to fulfil each desire.

Nonetheless, it's not just about the food — it's about the experience. From the clamouring souks of Doha to the smooth lounge areas of lavish lodgings, every dinner in Qatar is a potential chance to drench yourself in the country's energetic culture and neighbourliness.

All in all, Qatar food Service Market is a mother lode of culinary joys ready to be found. Whether you're a carefully prepared foodie or a courageous eater, Qatar offers a dining experience for the faculties that will leave you hankering more. Thus, the following time you wind up in this charming corner of the Bedouin Bay, make certain to investigate Qatar's sense of taste and enjoy a culinary experience like no other.

Whether you’re drawn to ancient history, dramatic deserts, or vibrant cities, Saudi Arabia has something for every traveller, and Geniefie ensures your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Let’s embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure and explore the wonders of this captivating nation through your lens.

Are you ready for a travel adventure? Well, I’ve got a list of Saudi Arabian places that’ll sweep you off your feet!

Day 1: Exploring Jeddah

The morning in Jeddah was greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly fried chicken wafting from “Al-Baik,” a local favourite. It was the perfect start to our adventure, fueling our anticipation for the days to come.

Our first destination was the iconic “Corniche,” a scenic coastal promenade along the Red Sea. The gentle waves lapped at the shore as we strolled along, enjoying the sea breeze and the stunning views. It was the perfect way to ease into our Saudi Arabian adventure.

As the sun reached its zenith, we made our way to “Al-Nakheel Restaurant” for a taste of authentic Saudi Arabian cuisine. The kebabs and shawarma were nothing short of spectacular, offering a delicious introduction to the local flavours.

In the afternoon, we immersed ourselves in the historic charm of Jeddah’s “Balad” district. The traditional souks, magnificent mosques, and well-preserved architecture painted a vivid picture of the city’s rich heritage. We explored the labyrinthine streets, taking in the vibrant colors and intricate designs of the buildings.

A visit to “Nasseef House” provided us with a deeper understanding of Jeddah’s history. The beautifully restored house offered a glimpse into the city’s past, with exhibits and artefacts that narrated tales of times gone by.

As evening descended upon the city, we headed to “Al-Mazaz” for dinner, an establishment renowned for its seafood. Fresh catches, expertly prepared, left our taste buds in a state of pure delight.

Day 2: Exploring AlUla

The next morning, we bid farewell to Jeddah and set off on a road trip to AlUla, our second destination. The approximately 300-kilometre journey would take us through diverse landscapes, and we couldn’t be more excited.

We started our day with a scrumptious breakfast at “Beit Al Mamlouka,” a charming restaurant known for its Middle Eastern flavours. Fueled and ready, we hit the road, eager to explore AlUla’s historical wonders.

The UNESCO-listed “Madain Saleh” was our first stop, an ancient Nabatean city known for its rock-cut tombs and structures. The remarkable architecture and the sense of stepping back in time left us in awe. The ancient city spoke of an era long gone, and we couldn’t help but be captivated by its mysteries.

“Al-Madras,” a collection of dramatic rock formations, was our next destination. The surreal beauty of these towering sandstone sculptures against the backdrop of desert landscapes was simply mesmerising.

We couldn’t miss a visit to “Dadan,” the Kingdom’s first capital, where we had the chance to delve into the captivating history of Saudi Arabia. The ancient ruins and artefacts told stories of a bygone era, allowing us to connect with the kingdom’s roots.

At “Al-Ula Arth Restaurant,” we enjoyed a delightful lunch, savouring Arabian dishes that married local and international flavours. It was the perfect opportunity to refuel before continuing our exploration of AlUla.

As the day drew to a close, we wrapped up our AlUla adventure with dinner at “Heritage Village Restaurant.” The authentic Saudi hospitality and flavours left a lasting impression on our hearts and palates.

Day 3: Exploring Riyadh

With AlUla’s historical treasures etched in our memories, we were ready to move on to our final destination, Riyadh. The journey was a long one, spanning approximately 1,100 kilometres, and would take roughly 10 hours. But the promise of exploring the modern vibrancy of the Saudi capital made the road trip worthwhile.

We set off early in the morning, with “Desert Palm Restaurant” in AlUla providing us with a hearty breakfast to kick-start the day.

Upon our arrival in Riyadh, we were immediately captivated by the blend of tradition and modernity. Our first stop was the “King Abdulaziz Historical Center,” where we delved into the history of the Kingdom. The exhibits and artefacts brought the past to life, offering a deep understanding of Saudi Arabia’s journey.

The “National Museum” was a treasure trove of cultural riches. Its diverse exhibits showcased the kingdom’s heritage, from prehistoric artefacts to contemporary art.

We couldn’t resist taking a leisurely walk through “Al-Masmak Fortress,” an iconic landmark in Riyadh. The fortress provided a unique window into the city’s history, with its mud-brick walls and historical significance.

At “Burj Al-Hamam,” we enjoyed a fusion of Middle Eastern and international dishes for lunch, experiencing the diverse flavours that Riyadh had to offer.

As we continued our exploration, we marvelled at Riyadh’s modern skyline, with towering skyscrapers and bustling souks. The city had a vibrant energy that was infectious, and we couldn’t help but get caught up in its rhythm.

Dinner at “Najd Village” marked the end of our Saudi Arabian adventure. The restaurant offered an authentic Saudi dining experience, and it was the perfect way to conclude our journey through the heart of Saudi Arabia.

Our journey from Jeddah to AlUla to Riyadh was a testament to the diversity of Saudi Arabia. From the coastal beauty of Jeddah to the historical treasures of AlUla and the modern vibrancy of Riyadh, each destination offered a unique blend of culture, cuisine, and experiences. We were left with lasting memories and a profound appreciation for the hidden gems of Saudi Arabia.

With the Geniefie trip planner app as our guide, we were able to explore the kingdom on our terms, ensuring that every step of our journey was personalized according to our interests. Our adventure had been a remarkable one, and it had only scratched the surface of the wonders that Saudi Arabia had to offer.

3 Restaurants and 3 Best meals you will get in Qatar

Do any of the hotels in Qatar serve afternoon tea or hi-tea? The world over, people have copied the well-known British custom. There is a wide variety of high teas and afternoon teas to choose from, including those with a French theme, whimsy, and refinement, as well as some that are sky-high and perfect for a quick pick-me-up or a catch-up with friends. We have compiled a list of the best places in Qatar’s most opulent restaurants to enjoy afternoon tea, so be ready to raise your pinky in the air.

Jiwan Restaurant

Having afternoon tea at Jiwan’s outdoor terrace overlooking the National Museum of Qatar at sunset is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Chicken pita, honey ice cream, and chocolate-date cookies are all that’s on the menu, but with these vistas, you won’t care. The interior design complements the food offerings by evoking the outdoors and the rich maritime traditions that are so important to the people of Qatar. Fire, water, air, and soil, the ancient Bedouin elements utilised in cooking, are used to create new and interesting takes on well-known tastes and sensations. The end product is a feast that honours the evolving cuisine of Qatar. Concise but elegant. Intriguingly new yet nostalgically familiar at the same time.

Harrods Tea Room

Harrods Tea Room in Msherieb will provide you with a spectacular afternoon tea experience. They offer two kinds of hi-tea right now: the Summer 2022 “Best of British Summer” high tea comes with an amuse bouche, savoury items like Devonshire Crab and English Cucumber, scones, and pastries like Strawberry Cheesecake, Meadow Honey Cake, Mango, Passion, and Coconut Sphere, and more.Cream Tea is a smaller version of the traditional afternoon tea that includes traditional scones, clotted cream, and jams from Harrods.

W Café

W Café is a great place to unwind with an afternoon tea in the middle of West Bay. Freshly brewed tea pairs perfectly with savoury foods like salmon or cucumber sandwiches, as well as scones and delicious sweets. Snacks that won’t fill you up completely. Stop by the friendly W Café for a hot beverage and a snack. All kind of tasty cupcakes, cookies, and other baked goodies are available to satiate your sweet need. Send it around. A takeout service is also available.

Shawarma

One of the world’s most well-known and well-loved street foods is shawarma. It is typical to use chicken or lamb for this dish, and the meat is traditionally slow-grilled for almost a full day before being rolled up and served. Compared to the prices of shawarmas in other Arab countries, those served in Qatar are inexpensive. They are also flavorful, with just the proper number of condiments, perfectly grilled meat, and fresh pita bread. Any eater who ventures out into the world will find that the shawarma in Qatar lives up to its wildest expectations in terms of its consistency and flavor profile. The roll of pita bread is crammed full of grilled chicken that has been artfully coated in garlic sauce and mayonnaise.

Biryani

Popular in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, where it got its start. Traditionally, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, coriander, mint, ginger, garlic, and onions are used to season basmati rice in a dish called biryani. The rice grains used to be a variegated white and yellow-orange hue and have a mild saffron flavor thanks to the addition of orange saffron milk on top of the dish before baking. For only a reasonable, you may get half of the enormous chicken biryani. Request some bread on the side to soak up the savory raita (a yogurt sauce flavored with coriander).

Falafel

Chickpeas, fava beans, or both can be mashed up and used to make falafel, which is a popular vegan snack. Falafel can be purchased as round flat cutlets or as small crispy balls that have been deep fried. These fried dumplings, which contain tahini, garlic, parsley, and coriander as part of their filling, can be eaten on their own or stuffed into pita pockets along with salad and pickles. Falafel is a versatile food that can be eaten at any time of the day; people often eat it for breakfast, as an appetizer, or as a snack. It is a healthy source of energy that can be enjoyed whenever one so desires.

National Cinnamon Day

Celebrate and appreciate one of the world’s favorite ancient spices by getting excited about National Cinnamon Day. So grab a favorite cinnamon treat and read on to learn more about this delicious spice and the ways it has been part of human history for thousands of years!

History of National Cinnamon Day

Native to Ceylon, which is modern day Sri Lanka, cinnamon’s first recordings are from Chinese writings that date as far back as 2800 BC. Even today in the Cantonese language, cinnamon is still known as “kwai”. And in the Malay language, it goes by “kayumanis”, which means “sweet wood”. This is certainly an apt description of this spicy but uniquely sweet flavor.

During medieval times, doctors found that cinnamon worked well as a treatment for coughs, sore throats and hoarseness. It may also have been considered a status symbol and was often used as a special imported gift given to monarchs, royalty and other people of importance.

Cinnamon, along with other precious spices might seem rather innocuous now, but in the early days of their discovery, several wars were fought over the lands where cinnamon came from. The Portuguese, Dutch and British armies all sought to conquer Ceylon (modern day Sri Lanka) in an effort to obtain full access to their spices.

Today, sourcing cinnamon comes with much less angst and political struggle as, for most people, it’s easy to simply pop over to the local grocery store, health food store or spice shop to pick some up. Typically cinnamon can be found in two varieties, ground or whole. Ground cinnamon is used in many different recipes for baking and cooking, while whole cinnamon sticks are more often steeped into beverages or infused into flavoring syrups.

Of course, cinnamon is really the star of the show when it comes to the beloved pumpkin pie spice. Combined with allspice, nutmeg and clove, cinnamon is the base for this grouping of flavors that represents all things fall.

In honor of National Cinnamon Day, it’s time to get creative and enjoy cinnamon in a whole myriad of ways!

National Cinnamon Day Timeline

2000 BC Spices are exchanged along the Silk Road

A network of sea routes link East to West, from Japan all the way over to Europe, and cinnamon is one of the spices traded on this route.

65 AD Emperor Nero burns cinnamon

Nero is said to have burned a year’s worth of Rome’s supply of cinnamon at his wife’s funeral. 

14th Century Portuguese explorers find cinnamon

While traders brought the spice to the West, the place where it originates from is kept secret until the Portuguese discover it in Ceylon.

Early 1800s British take over Ceylon

Defeating the Dutch occupiers, the British take over the island country of Ceylon, gaining full access to cinnamon.

1930s Cinnamon candy is made

Produced by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company, Red Hots are made using the panned method of candy making.

How to Celebrate National Cinnamon Day

Get excited about cinnamon and enjoy National Cinnamon Day with some of these fun and clever ideas for celebrating:

Eat Something Cinnamon

From cinnamon candy to cinnamon rolls and everything in between, National Cinnamon Day is best celebrated by enjoying the flavors of this delicious spice. Whether it’s simply grabbing a pack of cinnamon gum from the local convenience store, or a cinnamon latte from a local coffee shop, this is the day to enjoy all things cinnamon!

In fact, while often associated with sweet things in the West, cinnamon is also often used in savory dishes in many cultures. From curries to mole sauces to barbecue rubs, cinnamon can be used in every meal of the day for breakfast lunch and dinner!

Try a cinnamon roll or a healthy bowl of oatmeal flavored with cinnamon for breakfast. Lunch could consist of a Hawaiian pizza topped with pineapple, ham and almond slivers, sprinkled with delicious cinnamon. And dinner? Well, a big vat of butter chicken, cinnamon green lentil soup or chicken shawarma would do nicely, thank you very much!

Learn the Health Benefits of Cinnamon

Cinnamon is more than just a yummy way to flavor foods and beverages! It is also a natural substance that offers a whole host of properties that may be beneficial to human health. There’s a reason that it was often offered as a gift to kings!

Consider some of these interesting benefits of including cinnamon as part of a healthy diet:

Cinnamon is full of antioxidants. Fighting off free radicals is the name of the game when it comes to preventing health problems such as cancer, heart disease and other issues.

Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation can be helpful in fighting off foreign bodies, but too much inflammation can cause huge health problems like arthritis, asthma, diabetes, cancer and so much more.

Cinnamon may help prevent heart disease. This unassuming spice has been linked as a way to reduce heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the world today.

Cinnamon can help balance insulin. A serious problem today is insulin resistance which can cause type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Cinnamon can help to reduce the body’s resistance to the hormone insulin and help it do its job well.

Enjoy Baking with Cinnamon

Cinnamon brings a whole host of opportunities for cooking and baking in the kitchen at home. From cinnamon rolls to snickerdoodle cookies, from cinnamon donuts to cinnamon coffee cake, this spice really has it all!

Get creative by adding cinnamon sugar to honey and rolling it in phyllo dough for a pseudo-baklava taste. Or go a bit more traditional by baking an all-American apple pie that is, of course, spiced with cinnamon. Another enjoyable way to use cinnamon is to add it to a traditional loaf of quick bread, such as banana bread, pumpkin bread.

Savor a Cup of Cinnamon Tea

While many people think of cooking and baking with cinnamon, one of the best ways to enjoy this delicious spice is by steeping it into a hot beverage. Teas made from cinnamon can be not only tasty but can also offer a nice way to infuse some of the health benefits that were mentioned above.
