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 boost the body’s proficiency
to take care of itself. The key is finding which ones are
best for what! Minster Chiropractic Center describes a few
of the latest papers regarding this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Minster MIGRAINE
Cinnamon’s
anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties were put to the
test for migraine management. Migraine, the most common primary headache
type, has higher levels of inflammation. Compared to a control treatment,
cinnamon significantly reduced levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also decreased
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine episodes.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center gladly presents
research-based safe alternatives to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a familiar health issue
for many Minster folks. Cinnamon
supplementation positively and significantly affected
diastolic blood pressure and when taken for more than 8 weeks significantly
affected systolic blood pressure. (2) Quite a few reports
have reported 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 lessened
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth sharing with our
Minster chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Minster Chiropractic Center cares for many patients
who also have diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease involving a variety of
different issues related to insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all results in lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently added to the
management. Cinnamon is cited 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) Minster Chiropractic Center wants to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
