Tonawanda Pain Relief with Green Tea
We need to bring back teatime, that quiet time in the middle of the day to have a quiet cup of tea away from the bustle of life! (Your Tonawanda chiropractor would enjoy such a break again!) Teatime was valuable for the mind and spirit and very likely quite good for the body. Today, we just cannot imagine that we could possibly have time, but just enjoying tea on the run in a reusable bottle on the commute to your chiropractic appointment at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can be beneficial, particularly if that tea is green.
BENEFITS OF TEA OVERALL
In China, drinking tea is part of daily life. That’s a pretty good idea! In assessing the health benefits of tea and its active ingredients for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis – familiar bone and joint diseases bothering many people – researchers found that tea has potential anti-COX (cycolooxygenase) factors and hormone-like effects. They determined that tea has an immense potential to be helpful in medicine and healthcare especially as the mechanisms of the different types of tea properties are identified as to their synergistic mechanisms. (1) Tea from plants around us presents us a tasty way to be healthier and even less painful!
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA FOR PAIN
The more information we gather about what nature has for us by medicinal plants, the more we must appreciate nature! Green tea is a common beverage sourced from such medicinal plants. Green tea via a multitude of pharmacological activities and antinociceptive effects are proposed to be effective for pain relief because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea is described as a safe and often effective treatment for pain management due to its suppression of inflammation and oxidative stress. (2) Green tea’s major component, EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), has shown itself to be a valuable anti-inflammatory factor as well as anti-oxidant. Research papers have published how green tea is good diseases like obesity, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Green tea and its EGCG seem to restrain the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-linked enzymes. The use of green tea potentially enhances the quality of life for inflammatory disease patients with no severe adverse side-effects. (3) Back pain and its related spinal pain conditions like leg, arm, and neck pain, etc., typically have inflammatory components with them, so increasing consumption of green tea for its anti-inflammatory benefit may be a plus.
