Cinnamon has antifungal, antibacterial, and even antiviral properties and it can also lower your bad cholesterol. Coconut oil is very useful for weight loss. It contains short and medium-chain fatty acids that help in taking off excessive weight. The benefits of dates include relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, anemia, sexual dysfunction, diarrhea, abdominal cancer, and many other conditions.Recent research has found that the chia seed benefits are even greater than we realized. Despite their small size, chia seeds are packed full of important nutrients. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to raise HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol that helps protect against heart attack and stroke).
