Largo 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 nicely to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Hollstrom & Associates Inc has nutritional tips like drinking green tea to our Largo chiropractic patients.
AGING-RELATED SKELETAL, CARTILAGE, AND JOINT DISEASES
Skeletal risks like disc height loss and changes like the two joint and muscle diseases called osteoarthritis and sarcopenia come with aging. A new study described the interaction of height loss and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women. The researchers decided that age rather than the height loss was suggested to be the superior method of determining risk of vertebral fracture. (1) Spinal osteoarthritis was linked with stature loss in postmenopausal women, a situation known to decrease quality of life. (2) Cartilage is the sufferer of these diseases’ inflammatory and degenerative processes. Sarcopenia’s loss of strength and muscle mass requires attention to quantity and quality of skeletal muscle mass which is where where green tea comes into play. Green tea has catechins that foster healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory mediators. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc believes you might enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in a variety of types. An additional new article reports that knee osteoarthritis patients benefitted from a mixture of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which were shown to inhibit inflammation. The researchers wrote that natural ingredients have a rational role in the management of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A study of how spearmint teas influenced knee osteoarthritis found that a commercial spearmint tea bettered stiffness and physical disability while a spearmint tea brewed from a high-rosmarinic acid (high-rosA) variety significantly reduced pain. (5) Rosmarinic acid is extracted from the woody, perennial herb, rosemary. It is 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) Hollstrom & Associates Inc is on the lookout for some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Largo chiropractic treatment plan.
