Cinnamon. Not only is cinnamon delicious, it's also loaded with antioxidants, helps cut down inflammation, and helps improve sensitivity to insulin. ...

Using Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate as a guide, we recommend eating mostly vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. We suggest drinking water instead of sugary beverages, and we also address common dietary concerns such as salt and sodium, vitamins, and alcohol.
According to the FSIS, canned foods with a low acid content, like meat, beans, peas, soups, or vegetables (or our favorite, canned tuna), will keep anywhere from two to five years. High-acid canned goods like tomato sauce and canned fruit will keep up to 18 months.
Oats. This prolific cereal grain and staple of many American breakfast tables can last up to 30 years with proper storage, according to the Utah State University Extension. ...
