Augusta Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
Drink for health? Yes, when the drink is tea! Aging-related skeletal pain responds well to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic has nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our Augusta 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 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 way to determine 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 these diseases’ inflammatory and degenerative processes. The loss of strength and muscle mass that accompanies sarcopenia 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) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic hopes you might enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in a variety of forms. An additional recent article writes that knee osteoarthritis patients were helped by a mixture of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which were found 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 discovered that a commercial spearmint tea bettered stiffness and physical disability while a spearmint tea brewed from a high-rosmarinic acid (high-rosA) variety significantly decreased pain. (5) Rosmarinic acid is extracted 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) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic is on the lookout for some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Augusta chiropractic treatment plan.
