A Tasty Way to Enhance Murfreesboro Bone Health Cherries!
Aging bones. We cannot avoid signs of aging, and our bones reveal our age. As we age, we lose bone density. Some of us develop osteoarthritis of bone. We all would love to escape aging and bone loss and osteoarthritis, but truth be told: many of us will not. New information that tart cherries may help prevent bone loss and osteoarthritis and improve bone health is welcome news to Most Chiropractic Clinic. They may be a tasty way for our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients to eat their way to healthier bones!
BONE LOSS AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, often leads to disability. There is no cure nor effective treatment yet described in published research to stop it explains one set of researchers. NSAIDs and analgesics help with the pain but not with the course of osteoarthritis. Taking drugs results in some adverse side effects which guided a set of researchers to check into what else may help. In their analysis of peer-reviewed articles, they concluded that nutrition can improve osteoarthritis symptoms. Most Chiropractic Clinic has seen this often in its Murfreesboro chiropractic practice! As these researchers found, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate “robustly” delay the progression of knee osteoarthritis. While diet changes to correct lipid and cholesterol numbers, enhance vitamin levels and address overweight levels are useful in osteoarthritis care, adding these two nutrients is, too. (1) Most Chiropractic Clinic has more information on them both.
CONSUMING TART CHERRIES
A likely tasty way to supplement the diet for spine care is ingesting tart cherries. In this springtime in the US that finds the cherry trees in bloom, it is the ideal time for this new information about the benefits of cherries. But how much of a good thing like tart cherries is healthy and beneficial? Recently, researchers explain that tart cherry may be a natural alternative to drug therapy to prevent bone loss in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and others. They report that tart cherry shielded bone structure from inflammation-induced bone loss and (unlike infliximab, a common drug) moderately improved the decrease in bone stiffness. (2) That is advantageous! The researchers advised that tart cherry may help avoid future fragility fractures due to highly chronic inflammation. (2) Further, another set of researchers note how the immune and endocrine systems play a role in age-related bone loss. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic foods like tart cherries can possibly counter this happening. In testing 5% and 10% Montmorency tart cherry intake, researchers found significantly greater bone thickness in patients using the cherry than the control group patients. They concluded that cherry supplementation (5% and 10%) improved bone mineral density down to the trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture! (3) All from cherries! Most Chiropractic Clinic sees this as a simple way to help and protect bone and is sure our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients will, too!
