Brain Wave Changes and Their Health Correlates
In the study, chiropractic care led to specific changes in brain wave activity, as measured by EEG. These changes are significant because different brain wave frequencies are associated with distinct mental states and physiological functions. Below is a detailed breakdown of the observed changes in Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta waves, along with their implications for health and well-being.

1. Increase in Alpha Waves
What are Alpha waves?
Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) are associated with a state of relaxed wakefulness, often seen when a person is calm but alert, such as during meditation or quiet reflection. They are also linked to reduced pain perception and emotional stability.

Health Correlates:

Pain Reduction:
Increased Alpha activity, particularly in the Default Mode Network (DMN), suggests the brain is better at filtering out unnecessary pain signals and processing internal cues related to bodily states. This can lead to a decrease in the perception of chronic pain, making it easier to manage discomfort.

Mood Improvement:
Alpha waves are tied to emotional regulation and a sense of calm. Higher Alpha activity may help reduce anxiety and depression by promoting a more balanced, less reactive emotional state.
Cognitive Clarity:
Alpha waves are also associated with mental coordination and learning, which could contribute to improved focus and cognitive function, helping individuals feel more mentally sharp.

2. Increase in Theta Waves
What are Theta waves?
Theta waves (4-8 Hz) are typically present during light sleep, deep relaxation, and creative or intuitive thinking. They are also involved in memory consolidation and emotional processing.
Health Correlates:
Stress Reduction:
An increase in Theta waves suggests the brain is entering a more relaxed state, which can help reduce stress and promote mental clarity. This shift may make it easier to unwind and feel at ease.

Emotional Processing:
Theta activity is linked to the processing of emotions and past experiences, which may aid in alleviating negative emotional states like anxiety or depression, fostering a sense of emotional balance.

Sleep Quality:
While Theta waves are more prominent in light sleep, their increase during wakefulness might indicate a brain that is better prepared for restorative sleep. This aligns with improvements in light sleep observed via Fitbit data, suggesting better overall sleep readiness and quality.

3. Increase in Beta Waves

What are Beta waves?
Beta waves (12-30 Hz) are associated with active thinking, problem-solving, and focused attention. They dominate when a person is alert and engaged in mental tasks.

Health Correlates:

Improved Alertness:

Higher Beta activity suggests enhanced cognitive function, which could translate to better decision-making, concentration, and overall mental sharpness. This can help individuals feel more engaged and productive.

Energy and Motivation:

Beta waves are linked to wakefulness and engagement, which may explain the reduction in fatigue reported by participants. This increase could contribute to feeling more energized and motivated throughout the day.

Motor Control:
Beta waves also play a role in motor function, so an increase could contribute to better coordination and movement, which is particularly relevant for individuals with chronic pain affecting mobility.

4. Decrease in Delta Waves

What are Delta waves?

Delta waves (0.5-4 Hz) are most prominent during deep, dreamless sleep and are associated with restorative processes. However, excessive Delta activity during wakefulness can indicate sluggishness, brain fog, or even neurological dysfunction.

Health Correlates:

Reduced Mental Fog:

A decrease in Delta waves during wakefulness suggests the brain is less "sluggish," which can improve daytime alertness and cognitive performance. This shift can help individuals feel more mentally clear and focused.

Better Wakefulness:

Lower Delta activity may help participants feel more awake and less fatigued during the day, aligning with the reported improvements in energy levels and overall vitality.

Pain and Sleep Balance:
While Delta waves are crucial for deep sleep, their reduction during wakefulness indicates a healthier balance between rest and activity, potentially supporting better overall sleep quality and daytime functioning.

Summary of Health Impacts

The observed brain wave changes suggest that chiropractic care promotes a more balanced and adaptable brain state, which can explain the broad health benefits reported in the study:

Pain Management:
Increased Alpha and Theta waves help the brain filter pain signals and reduce the emotional distress tied to chronic pain, making it easier to manage discomfort and improve quality of life.

Emotional Well-being:
Alpha and Theta waves support emotional regulation, contributing to reductions in anxiety and depression, and fostering a sense of calm and emotional balance.

Sleep and Recovery:

While direct changes in deep sleep weren’t measured, the increase in light sleep (as per Fitbit data) and the shift in brain waves suggest improved sleep readiness and quality, helping individuals feel more rested and refreshed.

Cognitive and Physical Function:

Higher Beta waves and lower Delta waves point to better alertness, focus, and energy, which can enhance daily functioning, productivity, and overall well-being.

These brain wave shifts provide a neurophysiological explanation for the improvements in pain, mood, and sleep observed in the study, highlighting the potential benefits of chiropractic care for overall health.

Glycemic Index & Glycine & Metabolic Health

Numerous meta-analyses have explored the relationship between dietary glycemic index (GI) and various health outcomes:

A meta-analysis from the British Journal of Nutrition in 2004 evaluated the health effects of using the glycaemic index in meal-planning, concluding that low GI diets can improve metabolic control in diabetic patients by reducing total cholesterol and aiding in better glucose management (Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
Another meta-analysis published on "ScienceDirect" looked into the association between GI, glycemic load (GL), and chronic disease risk, suggesting that low GI diets could be associated with a reduced risk of certain chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease ((Trinidad, et al., 2002)).
The association between GI and cancer risk has been meta-analysed, showing a direct link with colorectal and endometrial cancer risk but mixed results for other cancers (Barazzoni, et al., 2019).

Glycine:

While there isn't a meta-analysis directly linking glycine with the glycemic index, there is research showing glycine's metabolic effects:
The study from Barazzoni, et al,. investigated the metabolic response to ingested glycine in healthy subjects. It found that glycine might stimulate insulin secretion or enhance the effect of insulin on glucose removal from the blood when ingested with glucose, suggesting a potential role in glucose metabolism.

Conclusion:

Combining these findings from Barazzoni and Trinidad, glycine could potentially influence glycemic responses, especially when consumed with carbohydrates, due to its impact on insulin secretion or enhancement of insulin action.

In conclusion, while the glycemic index has been thoroughly researched with meta-analyses underscoring the health advantages of low GI diets for diabetes management and the potential for decreasing chronic disease risk, glycine presents itself as a versatile compound with multiple health benefits. Notably, glycine's low toxicity profile combined with its wide-ranging effects, including its role in insulin secretion, glucose metabolism, and potentially in reducing inflammation, positions it as a valuable dietary component for health maintenance and disease prevention. Additionally, glycine's interaction with GABA receptors may enhance vagal tone, further contributing to its therapeutic potential in modulating stress responses and metabolic health.
