Groton Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
Drink for health? Yes, when the drink is tea! Skeletal pain arising from aging-related conditions responds well to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our Groton 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 linked 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 requires attention to quantity and quality of skeletal muscle mass. This is where green tea comes into play. Green tea has catechins that foster healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory mediators. (3) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office hopes you may enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea comes in many forms. An additional recent article reports that knee osteoarthritis patients were helped by a combination of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which were shown 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 report of how spearmint teas influenced knee osteoarthritis found 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 extracted 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is on the hunt for some high-rosA spearmint tea to add to the Groton chiropractic treatment plan.
