Micronutrients like selenium aren’t so “micro”
when you understand their power! The nutrients like vitamin C and
D and B get much of the notice, but
researchers keep unraveling the power of the
micronutrients. Selenium’s benefit – at least one benefit
– rests in its anti-inflammatory capacity.
Most Chiropractic Clinic shares selenium’s latest research support for
our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients’ consideration regarding any inflammatory issues they may be
experiencing (ie, disc herniation, Murfreesboro back pain, neck pain,
leg pain, arm pain, etc.).
THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF MICRONUTRIENTS
Vitamins and trace elements are micronutrients that maintain
the health of organisms like us humans.
These micronutrients are active! They are vital
to every cellular/biochemical process in the body: heart and brain functions, immune responses, antioxidant
defense sequences. Long-term deficiency of any singular
micronutrient leads to disorders associated with the cardiovascular or neurodegenerative systems. Researchers share
that older folks need to be quite careful as they are more susceptible
to problems due to diet and such. The deficiency of micronutrients is shown
to have an indirect impact on the genome even and slow
antioxidant enzymes and decrease the efficiency of defense against
free radicals. More such damage,
the faster the aging process of cells and the higher
the risk of pathological processes like cancer. (1) Here,
we are|we’re]33] going to focus on selenium for the sake of
our Murfreesboro chiropractic nutrition talk.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT - CARDIOVASULAR, VASCULAR, BOWEL
DISEASE
Of note, selenium deficiency especially
in the elder population was linked with an
elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. In
fact, selenium deficiency is independently linked to
cardiovascular disease. It also is linked to elevated circulating
inflammatory markers and influenced by the expression of
chemokines, cytokines and sirtuins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. (Yes,
we are getting down to the cellular level where the terms
are even more strange to our day-to-day language!)
Selenium as a vital micronutrient for health that protects
the body from oxidative stress that builds up over time particularly
in older folks. (2) Selenium deficiency also has a detrimental
impact on vascular disease as inflammation stimulates
vascular disease. MicroRNA (miRNA) can affect
inflammation in a variety of ways. A selenium deficiency can affect
miRNA’s expression by stimulating inflammation. (3) Promoting
inflammation is not what Most Chiropractic Clinic or our Murfreesboro chiropractic
patients want! Selenium together with zinc are a couple of the most important micronutrients possessing
significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown
that they are important in inflammatory bowel disease. (4)
Most Chiropractic Clinic talks about the role of inflammation in Murfreesboro
back pain and other spine pain conditions. Keeping the body equipped with the right vitamins
and micronutrients to maximally address such inflammatory issues is important
to the health of our Murfreesboro patients.
