The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden abundance 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 Solutions urges
San Jose chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and eat them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Chiropractic Solutions embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Chiropractic Solutions knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is hard to detach
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are very full of
nutrients, 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, eat tomatoes with some tasty,
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 could use
a little more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are wonderful sources. Plus,
they have many proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a few calories. Nutrients in green beans are reported to
also be anticarcinogenic, assisting the prevention and even the stopping the spread of some cancers throughout the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Further, 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 determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) At any rate, your San Jose
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
