So when you have a skeletal muscle injury, there is a
regeneration process that takes place to repair that muscle. (1) That makes
sense! Rotator cuff injury requires regenerative healing of tendon and bone. (2)
Skeletal injury involves regenerative healing of muscle as well. Both depend on
regeneration of tissues. That regeneration process requires communication
between the immune cells and the muscle cells. These cells slow down as we age.
The ability for them to regenerate damaged muscle slows down as we age. When muscle regeneration slows, sarcopenia
often rears its head. It’s a leading cause of disability in elderly folks.
Preventing that is a positive. A nutritional approach involving amino acids,
n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols and vitamin D is described in
medical literature today improves skeletal muscle regeneration by targeting key
functions of immune cells, muscle cells or both. (1) Novelli Wellness Center has some
further details on these nutritional components. Just ask!
See a trend? Vitamin D deficiency. It has a negative effect
on the structure of the healing tendon-bone interface (2) and potential
sarcopenia development and regeneration of skeletal muscle. (1) Skeletal
muscle is a direct target for vitamin D. Studies show that low levels of
vitamin D slows the functional recovery of skeletal muscle, and the latest study
describes a role for vitamin D in human skeletal muscle regeneration specifically.
It evens suggests that optimal vitamin D levels benefit muscle repair. (3)
So contact Novelli Wellness Center today. A discussion of the
benefits of vitamin D for healing tendons and muscles makes sense in addition
to the gentle Orchard Park, NY chiropractic care offered at Novelli Wellness Center.
