Drink your way to 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. Most Chiropractic Clinic presents
nutritional tips like drinking green tea to our Murfreesboro
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 looked at how height loss and vertebral fractures in
postmenopausal women were linked. The researchers decided
that age rather than the height loss was suggested to be the better
method of determining risk of vertebral fracture. (1) Spinal osteoarthritis was linked with
stature loss in postmenopausal women, a situation documented
to reduce 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 necessitates attention to quantity and quality
of skeletal muscle mass which is where where green tea comes
into play. Green tea has catechins that help maintain
healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory
mediators. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic hopes you might enjoy
some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in many
types. Another new article reports
that knee osteoarthritis patients benefitted from a mixture
of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which exhibited
anti-inflammatory properties.
The researchers wrote that natural ingredients provide
a rational role in the care of osteoarthritis. (4) Another
natural option: spearmint tea! A study of how spearmint teas influenced
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) Most Chiropractic Clinic is on the lookout for
some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Murfreesboro chiropractic
treatment plan.
