1. Brain-boosting caffeine hit
Feeling that afternoon brain drain? Cinnamon has been proven to improve cognitive performance. The secret is that consuming cinnamon induces the production of sodium benzoate in the body. In turn, sodium benzoate stimulates the creation of new brain neurons, thus making it easier to retain new information.
For a real brain booster, use cinnamon tea instead of ordinary water for your afternoon coffee. Cinnamon coffee might be able to help you focus and increase memory. This is particularly good for rote learning, so anyone trying to cram for an upcoming exam or just memorize vocabulary in a new language should definitely try this one.
Add cinnamon to your coffee or hot chocolate.
