Fitness Blog---Fabulous Food Find-Light Progresso Soups

I am always looking for healthy, low calorie foods that still taste good. These new Light Progresso soups are really great. A whole can is about 160 calories and you won't eat a whole can yourself.

Cinnamon is not just a dessert spice. Cinnamon has antifungal, antibacterial, digestive and blood sugar stabilization properties to it. It can help with memory and cognition (creates a strong sensory memory which returns when the spice is used again.) It is even thought to help kill the bacteria H. Pylori, which causes ulcers.
