Murfreesboro Chiropractic Nutrition Tip: Enjoy Those Tomato, Bean and Pepper Gifts from Gardeners!
It’s summer harvest time in the US. The garden abundance is aplenty! Every family circle seems to have at least one avid gardener with more tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she can use on his/her own. Fortunately for us, generosity abounds in gardeners. Most Chiropractic Clinic urges Murfreesboro chiropractic patients to appreciatively take those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Most Chiropractic Clinic embraces all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Most Chiropractic Clinic knows this is an amazing list of benefits. It’s difficult 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 enhance absorption of lycopene, enjoy tomatoes with some delicious, 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 bit more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber, green beans are amazing sources. Plus, they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Green beans have nutrients reported to also be anticarcinogenic, helping prevent and even stop the spread of some cancers in the body. (4, 5, 6)] Additionally, peppers assist in fighting inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers offer anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those benefits depending on the pepper type and stage of their growth.
