A Tasty Way to Enhance Auburn Bone Health Cherries!
Aging bones. None of us can evade signs of aging, and our bones tell 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 won’t. New research about how tart cherries may help block bone loss and osteoarthritis and improve bone health is refreshing news to Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.. They may be a tasty way for our Auburn chiropractic patients to do what they can to keep their bones healthy!
BONE LOSS AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, often leads to disability. There is no cure nor effective treatment yet discovered to halt it explains one set of researchers. NSAIDs and analgesics help with pain relief but not with the course of osteoarthritis. Using drugs sometimes brings about some adverse side effects for some patients over time which lead a group of researchers to check into 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 found, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate “robustly” delay the progression of knee osteoarthritis. While diet changes to correct lipid and cholesterol numbers, boost vitamin levels and address overweight issues are useful in osteoarthritis care, including 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 blooming cherry trees everywhere, it’s 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 stop 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 decline in bone stiffness. (2) That is advantageous! The researchers suggested 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 have a role in age-related bone loss. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic foods like tart cherries can potentially counter this happening. In trying 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%) increased bone mineral density down to the trabecular and cortical bone microarchitecture! (3) All from cherries! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. sees this as a simple way to improve bone and is certain our Auburn chiropractic patients will, too!
