Anti-Inflammatory Benefit of Selenium in a Manahawkin Chiropractic Plan
Micronutrients like selenium are not so “micro” when you consider their power! The nutrients like vitamin C and D and B get much of the attention, but researchers continue to unravel the power of the micronutrients. Selenium’s benefit – at least one benefit – rests in its anti-inflammatory ability. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents selenium’s latest research support for our Manahawkin chiropractic patients’ consideration in light of any inflammatory issues they may have (ie, disc herniation, Manahawkin back pain, neck pain, leg pain, arm pain, etc.).
THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF MICRONUTRIENTS
Vitamins and trace elements are micronutrients that maintain the health of organisms like us humans. These micronutrients are busy! They are key to every biochemical/cellular process in the body: heart and brain functions, immune responses, antioxidant defense routines. Long-term deficiency of any singular micronutrient leads to disorders related to the cardiovascular or neurodegenerative systems. Researchers share that older folks need to be quite careful as they are more prone to problems due to diet and such. The deficiency of micronutrients is demonstrated to possess an indirect effect on the genome even and reduce antioxidant enzymes and reduce the efficiency of defense against free radicals. The more there is of this type of damage, the faster the aging process of cells and the higher the risk of pathological processes like cancer. (1) In this discussion, we are|we’re]33] going to concentrate on selenium for the sake of our Manahawkin chiropractic nutrition talk.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT - CARDIOVASULAR, VASCULAR, BOWEL DISEASE
Notably, selenium deficiency especially in the older population was associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. In fact, selenium deficiency is independently associated with cardiovascular disease. It also is associated with elevated circulating inflammatory markers and affected by the expression of chemokines, cytokines and sirtuins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. (Yes, we are getting down to the cellular level where the words are even more strange to our everyday language!) Selenium as a key micronutrient for health that defends the body from oxidative stress that accumulates over time particularly in older folks. (2) Selenium deficiency also has a harmful impact on vascular disease since inflammation stimulates vascular disease. MicroRNA (miRNA) can affect inflammation in many ways. A selenium deficiency can affect miRNA’s expression by stimulating inflammation. (3) Stimulating inflammation is not what Manahawkin Chiropractic Center or our Manahawkin chiropractic patients desire! Selenium together with zinc are a couple of the most important micronutrients having significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that they are crucial in inflammatory bowel disease. (4) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center discusses about the role of inflammation in Manahawkin back pain and other spine pain conditions. Maintaining the body’s proper balance of the right vitamins and micronutrients to maximally address such inflammatory issues is critical to the health of our Manahawkin patients.
