Warning: i do not recommend consuming a teaspoon of cassia cinnamon in a day due to the toxicity of coumarin.
“These activities [elevation of the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and activate AMP kinase (AMPK) by an active ingredient in cinnamon, cinnamaldhyde] mimic the action of the thiazolidinediones and metformin”
You probably already know that metformin, a drug used to treat diabetes, slows aging. So it is possible that cinnamaldehyde or cinnamon will do the same.
Additionally, cinnamon inhibits the mTOR pathway, which is known to slow aging.
“Another compound present in cinnamon, β-caryophyllene oxide, has been suggested to activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)”
(Rapamycin inhibits mTOR)
Cinnamon was shown to increase lifespan in fruit flies:
Discussion:
Cinnamon increases lifespan in fruit flies, suggesting that they aged slower. This effect is evidence it may do the same in humans. two mechanisms in which cinnamon slows aging have been suggested: mimicking metformin through cinnamaldehyde and activation of rapamycin (which inhibits mTOR). It should be noted that cinnamaldehyde was not shown to improve longevity in the same study. Therefore, the activation of rapamycin is the more likely mechanism in my opinion due to being unrelated to cinnamaldehyde.
