It’s summer harvest time in the US. The
garden bounty is aplenty! 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 abounds. Most Chiropractic Clinic encourages
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Most Chiropractic Clinic welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Most Chiropractic Clinic knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is difficult to split
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are very nutrient rich, providing vitamin C,
potassium and lycopene, an anti-oxidant that supports cancer and
heart disease prevention and anti-inflammatory activity. (1,2) To enhance
absorption of lycopene, eat tomatoes with some flavorful,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or related oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are packed with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [We all need
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Plus,
they have many proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are described as being 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 offer
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may raise or lower those
benefits depending on the pepper type and growth stage. (7,8,9) Either way, your Murfreesboro
chiropractor urges you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
