Cinnamon. It is 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 are
best for what! Pflugerville Wellness Center describes a few
of the latest papers about this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Pflugerville MIGRAINE
The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of cinnamon were put to the
test for migraine management. Migraine, the most common primary headache
type, has higher levels of inflammation. Compared to a control option,
cinnamon significantly decreased levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also decreased
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon eased migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Pflugerville Wellness Center gladly shares
research-based safe options to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health condition
for many Pflugerville folks. Supplementing with cinnamon favorably 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 decreased
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth sharing with our
Pflugerville chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Pflugerville Wellness Center cares for many patients
who also have 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 results in lifelong damage to organs throughout 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% used
cinnamon. (5) Pflugerville Wellness Center requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
