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
overflows in gardeners. Apple Country Chiropractic encourages
Williamson chiropractic patients to gratefully take
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! Apple Country Chiropractic welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Apple Country Chiropractic knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It’s difficult to detach
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 boost
absorption of lycopene, enjoy tomatoes with some delicious,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or similar oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are filled with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all could use
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are wonderful sources. Plus,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are described as being anticarcinogenic, helping
prevent and even stop the spread of some cancers throughout the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Additionally, 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) At any rate, your Williamson
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
