Baton Rouge Chiropractic Spinal Care Treatment Plan: Nutritional Tea!
Drink your way to health? When the chosen drink is tea, it’s quite possible! Aging-related skeletal pain responds nicely to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers presents nutritional tips like drinking green tea to our Baton Rouge 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 described the interaction of height loss and vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women. The researchers decided that age rather than the height loss was suggested to be the superior 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 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. This is where green tea comes into play. Green tea has catechins that help maintain healthy joints and skeletal muscle by reducing inflammatory mediators. (3) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers believes you may enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea comes in many forms. An additional new article writes that knee osteoarthritis patients were helped by 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 management of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A study of how spearmint teas affected 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 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) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is on the hunt for some high-rosA spearmint tea to enhance the Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan.
