HELP FOR Vancouver 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 lessened
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! Additionally,
cinnamon is a safe supplement. (1) Vancouver Spine Care Centre gladly presents
research-based safe options to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health condition
for many Vancouver folks. Cinnamon
supplementation positively 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 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 diastolic
and systolic blood pressure reduced
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least eight
weeks. (3) That’s news worth sharing with our
Vancouver chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Vancouver Spine Care Centre cares for many patients
who also have diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease encompassing 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 throughout a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently included in the
management. Cinnamon is mentioned 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 Spine Care Centre wants to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
