Most Chiropractic Clinic Shares Benefits of Strawberries for Bone, Teeth, Cognition and Cardiometabolism

Who knew strawberries were so beneficial? So many of us eat them just to enjoy their flavor! Strawberries are additionally packed with nutrition and have the approval of Most Chiropractic Clinic as additions to the Murfreesboro treatment plan! Spinal nutrition is central to most of our chiropractic patients while a general nutrition tip like “Eat some strawberries!” benefits our goal to be as healthy as possible.

COGNITIVE BENEFIT

In a large study of 49,493 women and 27,842 men, researchers reported that a higher consumption of total flavonoids was linked to lesser risk of subjective cognitive decline. Flavonoid rich foods include strawberries in addition to oranges, citrus fruits and juices, apples, pears, celery, peppers, and bananas. (1) The chemical structure of one particular strawberry type, Romina, was documented to be beneficial in reducing and delaying the production of certain factors that are related to Alzheimer’s. (2) As we age, most of us want to keep our cognition as sharp as possible.

BONE FORMATION

Postmenopausal women also want to keep their bone as strong as possible! Postmenopausal issues for women include bone remodeling and resorption that are more rapid than bone formation resulting in reduced bone mineral density and associated high blood pressure and a higher risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Consuming freeze-dried strawberry powder increased insulin-like growth factor-1 (an important hormone in bone formation) in postmenopausal women with pre/stage-1 hypertension. (3) We share information like this with our Murfreesboro female chiropractic patients so they can keep ahead of these problems.

CARDIOMETABOLIC BENEFITS

Cardiometabolic issues – cardiovascular/renal/liver issues, diabetes, etc. - can potentially impact all our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients. We certainly want to keep ahead of these issues if at all possible. A new study reported that eating strawberries for 4 weeks significantly improved antioxidant status, endothelial function, and inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-α) in adults with cardiometabolic risks. (4) These conditions often come with age, so we want to be wise as we age and maintain our bodies as naturally as possible, a goal of Murfreesboro chiropractic care.

TEETH WHITENING

Aging even affects our teeth! Our aging (discolored/weakened) teeth reflect our habits: smoking, drinking tea and coffee, taking antibiotics, and even using commercially accessible whiteners that contain hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide (too much). A new study offered research support for natural, milder, safer teeth-whiteners like strawberries, lemons, oranges, and other fruits. (5) Most Chiropractic Clinic is confident that our chiropractic patients would like these teeth whiteners!
