Cinnamon may improve kids learning ability
If your kid is finding it difficult to memorise lessons at school, giving them cinnamons may help improve the learning ability.
A recent study by Kalipada Pahan, professor at Rush University, Chicago, US, says so.
The research findings showed that the poor learning mice had improved memory and learning at a level found in good learning mice.
‘This would be one of the safest and the easiest approaches to convert poor learners to good learners,’ said lead researcher Kalipada Pahan.
Some people are born naturally good learners, some become good learners by effort, and some find it hard to learn new tasks even with effort.
‘Understanding brain mechanisms that lead to poor learning is important to developing effective strategies to improve memory and learning ability,’ Pahan added.
However, the study did not find any significant improvement among good learners by cinnamon.
‘Individual difference in learning and educational performance is a global issue,’ Pahan said adding, “we need to further test this approach in poor learners. If these results are replicated in poor learning students, it would be a remarkable advance.’
Until we get more information from such research it may be a good idea to include cinnamon in kids diet especially if you desire to improve the learning skills.
