Cinnamon. It’s a tasty way to help

diabetes mellitus. Chiropractic is all about health! Nutritional approaches to
various ailments enhance the body’s proficiency
to take care of itself. The key is figuring out which ones work for what! Johnson Chiropractic describes some
of the latest papers regarding this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Richmond 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 option,
cinnamon significantly reduced levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also lessened
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine episodes.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Johnson Chiropractic gladly shares
research-based safe options to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health condition
for many Richmond folks. Supplementing with cinnamon positively and significantly affected
diastolic blood pressure and when taken for more than 8 weeks significantly
affected systolic blood pressure. (2) Quite a few studies
have reported that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A new
meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon
supplementation can boost blood pressure by a modest degree
overall. Significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure lessened
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least eight
weeks. (3) That’s news worth sharing with our
Richmond chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Johnson Chiropractic cares for many patients
who also are diagnosed 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 results in lifelong damage to organs throughout a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently added to the
management. Cinnamon is stated as an advantageous 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) Johnson Chiropractic requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are taking and if they find benefit.
