The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden bounty is copious! Every family circle seems
to have at least one enthusiastic gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she knows
what to do with. Fortunately for us, gardeners’ generosity flourishes. Chiropractic Care encourages
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients to gratefully accept
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and eat them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Chiropractic Care embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Chiropractic Care knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is hard to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are so full of
nutrients, supplying vitamin C,
potassium and lycopene, an anti-oxidant that supports cancer and
heart disease prevention and anti-inflammatory activity. (1,2) To boost
absorption of lycopene, enjoy tomatoes with some delicious,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or related oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are bursting with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all need
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Additionally,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are reported to
also be anticarcinogenic, assisting the prevention and even the stopping the spread of some cancers in the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Further, peppers help
fight inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers have
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may raise or lower those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your West Palm Beach
chiropractor encourages you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will reward you!
