Honey and cinnamon are both purported to have many health benefits. Cinnamon has been credited for helping lower LDL, the bad cholesterol, and honey contains antioxidants, which protect cells from damage. The reason cinnamon and honey may promote weight loss is due to their involvement in digestion and metabolism. A study in France found that cinnamon improves the body's ability to process sugars. According to MayoClinic.com, honey is a prebiotic. These are nondigestible nutrients that are used as a food source by probiotics, healthy bacteria that aid in digestion.
