Does a glass of apple-infused water a day keep the doctor away? Perhaps! Apples have well-documented benefits for a healthy heart—and a healthy everything [source]—which are associated with their polyphenol content [source], anthocyanins [source], and the water-soluble fiber, pectin. The nutrients in apples are concentrated in the skin, which also contains the anti-cancer compound phloretin [source], so thin slices with the skin on are the way to go.
Cinnamon-infused water (or tea or coffee) not only tastes good, but it's a digestive winner. The good-for-you ingredient works internally to balance blood sugar levels, which in turn helps you curb sugar and carb cravings.
In addition to its blood sugar benefits, cinnamon is rich in antioxidants that have mild internal pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects. So reach for cinnamon the next time you have a cold or sore throat.
While you sip, take a minute to savor the spicy aroma. The spicy scent of cinnamon is also mood-boosting and stress-relieving.
