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 approval of Moses Chiropractic
as extras in the West Palm Beach treatment plan! Spinal nutrition
is key to many of our chiropractic patients while a common
nutrition tip like “Eat some strawberries!” advances our
aim to be as healthy as possible.
COGNITIVE BENEFIT
In a large study of 49,493 women and 27,842 men,
researchers reported that a higher intake
of total flavonoids was associated with lower
odds 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 structure
of one particular variety of strawberry, Romina, was found beneficial in reducing
and delaying the creation of certain factors that are related
to Alzheimer’s. (2) As we age, most of us 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 incorporate
bone remodeling and resorption that are faster 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 share
research like this with our West Palm Beach female
chiropractic patients so they can keep ahead of these problems.
CARDIOMETABOLIC BENEFITS
Cardiometabolic issues – cardiovascular/renal/liver issues,
diabetes, etc. - can potentially impact all our West Palm Beach
chiropractic patients. We definitely want to keep ahead of
these issues if at all possible. A new study reported
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 come with age, so we want to be wise as we age and maintain our bodies as naturally as we can, a goal of
West Palm Beach chiropractic care.
TEETH WHITENING
Aging even affects our teeth! Our aging (discolored/weakened)
teeth reveal our habits: smoking, drinking tea
and coffee, taking antibiotics, and even using commercially available
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)
Moses Chiropractic knows our chiropractic patients
would like these teeth whiteners!
