Carrolltown Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
Drink for health? Yes, when the drink is tea! Aging-related skeletal pain responds nicely to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation has nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our Carrolltown 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 recent study looked at 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 better method of determining vertebral fracture risk. (1) Spinal osteoarthritis was associated with stature loss in postmenopausal women, a condition documented to reduce quality of life. (2) Cartilage is the victim of the inflammatory and degenerative aspects of these diseases. The loss of strength and muscle mass that accompanies sarcopenia necessitates attention to quantity and quality of skeletal muscle mass. This is where green tea comes into play. Green tea has catechins that help maintain healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory mediators. (3) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation hopes you might enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in many 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 suggested that natural ingredients provide a rational role in the management of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A report 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 decreased pain. (5) Rosmarinic acid is taken from the woody, perennial herb, rosemary. it’s a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant properties. Polyphenols are written 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) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is on the lookout for some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plan.
