Cinnamon. It’s a tasty way to help
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 figuring out which ones work for what! Cross Chiropractic Center reports on some
of the recent papers regarding this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Sandy Springs MIGRAINE
The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of cinnamon 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 decreased
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! Additionally,
cinnamon is a safe supplement. (1) Cross Chiropractic Center happily shares
research-based safe alternatives to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a familiar health condition
for many Sandy Springs 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 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 systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth sharing with our
Sandy Springs chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Cross Chiropractic Center takes care of many patients
who also are dealing with diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease encompassing many
different issues associated with insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all brings
about lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently included in the
management. Cinnamon is stated as a
favorable choice for diabetic hypertensive patients. (4) A
survey of the use of complementary alternative medicine by diabetic patients found
that many use bitter apple, ginger, fenugreek, garlic and cinnamon. 66.1% consumed
cinnamon. (5) Cross Chiropractic Center requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are taking and if they find benefit.
