Cinnamon. It is a tasty way to address
several health issues: migraine, blood pressure,
diabetes mellitus. Chiropractic is all about health! Nutritional approaches to
various ailments enhance the body’s capability
to take care of itself. The key is finding which ones work for what! Vancouver Disc Centers reports on a few
of the recent papers regarding this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Vancouver MIGRAINE
Cinnamon’s
anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties were tested for migraine management. Migraine, the most common primary headache
type, has increased levels of inflammation. Compared to a control option,
cinnamon significantly reduced levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also reduced
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine episodes.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers gladly presents
research-based safe options to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health issue
for many Vancouver folks. Cinnamon
supplementation favorably and significantly affected
diastolic blood pressure and significantly affected systolic blood pressure
when taken for at least 8 weeks. (2) Several studies
have stated that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A recent
meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon
supplementation can improve blood pressure by a modest degree
overall. Significant reductions in both diastolic
and systolic blood pressure reduced
when using 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth giving to our
Vancouver chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Vancouver Disc Centers cares for many patients
who also are diagnosed with diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease involving a variety of
different issues associated with insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all gives rise to lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently included in the
management. Cinnamon is stated as a positive choice for diabetic hypertensive patients. (4) A
survey of the use of complementary alternative medicine by diabetic patients revealed
that many use bitter apple, ginger, fenugreek, garlic and cinnamon. 66.1% consumed
cinnamon. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
