St Peters 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 well to muscle and joint boosters like those in green tea. Old Mill Chiropractic presents nutritional advice like drinking green tea to our St Peters 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 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 associated with stature loss in postmenopausal women, a situation known to decrease quality of life. (2) Cartilage is the sufferer of the inflammatory and degenerative aspects of these diseases. 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 contains catechins that foster healthy joints and skeletal muscle by decreasing inflammatory mediators. (3) Old Mill Chiropractic hopes you may enjoy some beneficial green tea!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Green tea comes in many types. Another new 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 provide a rational role in the management of osteoarthritis. (4) Another natural option: spearmint tea! A study of how spearmint teas influenced 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 reduced 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) Old Mill Chiropractic is on the lookout for some high-rosA spearmint tea to add to the St Peters chiropractic treatment plan.
