Manchester Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
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. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries presents nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our Manchester 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 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 condition documented to reduce 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 help maintain healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory mediators. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries hopes you may enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea is available in a variety of types. Another recent article writes that knee osteoarthritis patients benefitted from a combination of curcuminoids, collagen and green tea extract which were shown to inhibit inflammation. The researchers suggested that natural ingredients have a rational role in the care of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A report 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 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is on the lookout for some high-rosA spearmint tea to add to the Manchester chiropractic treatment plan.
