Elgin Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
Drink your way to health? When the chosen drink is tea, it’s quite possible! Skeletal pain arising from aging-related conditions responds well to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Connected Chiropractic presents nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our Elgin chiropractic patients.
AGING-RELATED SKELETAL, CARTILAGE, AND JOINT DISEASES
With aging come skeletal risks like disc height loss and changes like the two joint and muscle diseases called osteoarthritis and sarcopenia. A new study described the interaction of height loss and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women. The researchers concluded that age rather than the height loss was suggested to be the superior way to determine vertebral fracture risk. (1) Spinal osteoarthritis was linked with stature loss in postmenopausal women, a condition known to decrease quality of life. (2) Cartilage is the victim of the inflammatory and degenerative aspects of these diseases. Sarcopenia’s loss of strength and muscle mass requires attention to quantity and quality of skeletal muscle mass. This is where green tea comes into play. Green tea contains catechins that help maintain healthy joints and skeletal muscle by decreasing inflammatory mediators. (3) Connected Chiropractic hopes you may enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in a variety of forms. Another new article writes that knee osteoarthritis patients benefitted from a mixture of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which were found to inhibit inflammation. The researchers wrote that natural ingredients provide a rational role in the management of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A study of how spearmint teas affected knee osteoarthritis discovered that a commercial spearmint tea improved stiffness and physical disability while a spearmint tea brewed from a high-rosmarinic acid (high-rosA) variety significantly reduced pain. (5) Rosmarinic acid is taken from the woody, perennial herb, rosemary. it’s a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant properties. Polyphenols are reported to be anti-cancer, anti-tumor cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis (cell death), anti-metastasis, and anti-inflammatory. Rosmarinic acid is found in plant species like the mint. (6) Connected Chiropractic is on the hunt for some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Elgin chiropractic treatment plan.
