Montreal Nutrition: Beneficial Cinnamon
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 capability to take care of itself. The key is figuring out which ones work for what! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic describes a few of the latest papers about this simple ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR Montreal 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 treatment, cinnamon significantly decreased 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! Plus, cinnamon is a safe supplement.

BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health condition for many Montreal 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) Several reports have stated that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A new 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 giving to our Montreal chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic takes care of many patients who also are diagnosed with diabetes type II. Diabetes mellitus is a disease encompassing a variety of 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 added to the management. Cinnamon is mentioned 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.
