Most Chiropractic Clinic Shares Benefits of Strawberries for Bone, Teeth, Cognition and Cardiometabolism
Did you know that strawberries are amazingly beneficial? So many of us eat them just to enjoy their flavor! Strawberries are additionally packed with nutrition and have the endorsement of Most Chiropractic Clinic as additions to the Murfreesboro treatment plan! Spinal nutrition is central to many of our chiropractic patients while a general nutrition tip like “Eat some strawberries!” furthers our aim to be as healthy as possible.
COGNITIVE BENEFIT
In a large study of 49,493 women and 27,842 men, researchers discovered that the higher intake 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 make-up of one particular type of strawberry, Romina, was found beneficial in reducing and delaying the production of certain factors that are linked to Alzheimer’s. (2) As we age, we all desire to keep our cognition as sharp as possible.
BONE FORMATION
Postmenopausal women also desire keeping their bones as strong as possible! Postmenopausal issues for women include bone remodeling and resorption that are more rapid than bone formation resulting in less bone mineral density and associated high blood pressure as well as a higher risk of osteoporosis and fracture. Consuming freeze-dried strawberry powder raised insulin-like growth factor-1 (an important hormone in bone formation) in postmenopausal women with pre/stage-1 hypertension. (3) We present 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 affect all our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients. We definitely want to keep ahead of these issues if at all possible. A recent study presented the finding 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 accompany aging, so we want to be wise as we age and manage our bodies as naturally as we can, a goal of Murfreesboro chiropractic care.
TEETH WHITENING
Aging even affects our teeth! Our aging (discolored/weakened) teeth reflect our activities: smoking, drinking tea and coffee, taking antibiotics, and even using commercially accessible whiteners that have hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide (too much). A new study reported research support for natural, milder, safer teeth-whiteners like strawberries, lemons, oranges, and other fruits. (5) Most Chiropractic Clinic knows our chiropractic patients would enjoy these teeth whiteners!
