Manchester Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, a quiet time in the middle of the afternoon to enjoy a quiet cup of tea away from the bustle of life! (Your Manchester chiropractor would enjoy such a break again!) Teatime was beneficial for the mind and spirit and very likely quite good for the body. Most days, we just do not have time, but just drinking tea on the run in an insulated mug on the way to your chiropractic appointment at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can be beneficial, especially if that tea is green.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is part of daily life. That’s a pretty good idea! In assessing the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – common bone and joint diseases bothering many people – researchers found that tea has potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They determined that tea has a vast potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of various tea properties are defined as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us presents us a flavorsome way to be healthier and even a bit painfree!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more information we gather about what nature has for us by medicinal plants, the more we will want to thank nature! Green tea is a well-known beverage sourced from such medicinal plants. Green tea via lots of pharmacological activities and antinociceptive effects are proposed to be effective for pain relief due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is explained to be a safe and often effective treatment for pain management because if can suppress inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), has shown itself to be valuable for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Research papers have reported how green tea helps diseases like obesity, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Green tea and its EGCG seem to restrain the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-linked enzymes. The use of green tea quite possibly enhances the quality of life for inflammatory disease patients without severe adverse side-effects. (3) Back pain and its related spinal pain conditions like leg, arm, and neck pain, etc., typically have inflammatory components with them, so increasing consumption of green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be a plus.
