Thoughts
of the Mediterranean bring postcard-worthy images of beautiful
blue ocean waters, white sane beaches, clear blue
skies…and food? Yes, food! Most Chiropractic Clinic shares nutrition tips,
and the Mediterranean diet is bantered around the nutrition world for its many health benefits
as well it should in our chiropractic world, too. Fish, fruits, and veggies are
healthy for all of us in our Murfreesboro
chiropractic family!
BENEFITS OF MEDITERRANEAN DIET
With the growing recognition that diet plays
a beneficial role in health and prevention of disease issues
like osteoporosis, bone loss, etc., guidelines are being developed.
A new paper with suggestions for guidelines endorsed
a mediterranean-type diet with daily consumption of 2 to 3 dairy products to deliver
calcium and protein adequate enough to maintain
normal calcium-phosphorous balance and bone metabolism all of which are linked to a decreased risk of fracture. (1) In other studies,
the Mediterranean diet has been described as reducing hip fracture
risk. Another recent paper explains that there is indication
that a modified or alternative Mediterranean diet like the DASH (“Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension”) diet may also decrease hip
fracture risk as well as threat of lumbar spine
osteoporosis in women. (2) A study just released this
past month showed that older adults who adhered
the Meditterranean Diet closely had lower chances
of developing cognitive decline. (3) Better BMD, lower
osteoporosis odds, reduced risk of
cognitive decline and hip fracture may be inspiring to check
out and follow the Mediterranean diet, yes? Most Chiropractic Clinic finds these new
studies quite interesting to share with our
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients and their families.
WHAT DO I EAT ON THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET?
What foods are in the mediterranean diet? Fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds), yogurt,
seafood/fish, a little red wine, and lots of water, un-sugared sparkling water,
juices. It suggests staying away from sugars,
refined grains, ultra-processed foods, etc. (4) These are all possible if not simple!
