At the mention of the Mediterranean, what comes to mind? Postcard-worthy images of beautiful
blue ocean waters, white sane beaches, cloudless blue
skies…and food? Yes, food! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic presents nutrition tips,
and the Mediterranean diet is talked up around the nutrition world for its multiple health benefits
as well it should in our chiropractic world, too. Fish, fruits, and veggies are
healthy for all of us in our Fort Wayne
chiropractic family!
BENEFITS OF MEDITERRANEAN DIET
With the expanding recognition that diet offers
a beneficial role in health and prevention of disease issues
like osteoporosis, bone loss, etc., guidelines are being discussed.
A new paper with suggestions for guidelines endorsed
a mediterranean-type diet with daily consumption of 2 to 3 dairy products to deliver
calcium and protein sufficient enough to preserve
normal calcium-phosphorous balance and bone metabolism all of which are related
to a reduced risk of fracture. (1) In other papers,
the Mediterranean diet has been said to reduce hip fracture
risk. Another recent paper explains that there is evidence
that a modified or alternative Mediterranean diet like the DASH (“Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension”) diet may also lower hip
fracture risk in addition to threat of lumbar spine
osteoporosis in females. (2) A study just released this
past month pointed out that older adults who followed
the Meditterranean Diet closely had reduced odds
of developing cognitive decline. (3) Better BMD, reduced
osteoporosis odds, reduced risk of
cognitive decline and hip fracture may be inspiring to check
out and follow the Mediterranean diet, yes? Aaron Chiropractic Clinic finds these new
studies very interesting to share with our
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and their families.
WHAT DO I EAT ON THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET?
Good stuff! Fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds), yogurt,
seafood/fish, a little red wine, and lots of water, un-sugared sparkling water,
juices. It suggests staying away from sugars,
refined grains, ultra-processed foods, etc. (4) These are all possible if not easy!
