A Tasty Way to Enhance Auburn Bone Health Cherries!

Aging bones. We cannot evade signs of aging, and our bones reveal our age. As we age, we lose bone density. Some of us find that we have 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 research about how tart cherries may help prevent bone loss and osteoarthritis and improve bone health is pleasing news to Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.. They may be a tasty way for our Auburn chiropractic patients to eat their way to healthier bones!

BONE LOSS AND OSTEOARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, often precedes disability. There is no cure nor effective treatment yet discovered to stop it explains one set of researchers. NSAIDs and analgesics help with pain relief but not with the course of osteoarthritis. Using drugs brings about some adverse side effects which guided a set of researchers to see what else may be beneficial. In their analysis of peer-reviewed articles, they concluded that nutrition can better osteoarthritis symptoms. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has seen this often in its Auburn chiropractic practice! As these researchers discovered, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate “robustly” delay the progression of knee osteoarthritis. While diet changes to improve lipid and cholesterol numbers, enhance vitamin levels and address overweight levels are valuable in osteoarthritis care, adding these two nutrients is, too.  (1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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? Of late, 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 protected bone structure from inflammation-induced bone loss and (unlike infliximab, a common drug) moderately improved the decrease in bone stiffness. (2) That is beneficial! The researchers suggested that tart cherry may be useful to avoid future fragility fractures in the presence of 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 potentially neutralize this occurrence. 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%) bettered bone mineral density down to the trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture! (3) All from cherries! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. appreciates this simple way to help and protect bone and is certain our Auburn chiropractic patients will, too!
