Do you eat your vegetables and fruits? Daily? Numerous times daily? Chiropractic Solutions urges this daily eating habit! And Chiropractic Solutions knows that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you recognizes vegetables and fruit should be main parts of your San Jose healthy diets, and that you recognizes eating fruits and vegetables is better than eating fast food. But do we – Chiropractic Solutions included! - eat fruits and vegetables as we should? Unlikely. But you are not the only one! Life interrupts our best intentions! Chiropractic Solutions is just letting you in on this gentle research-based notice of the benefit eating fruits and vegetables presents to San Jose chiropractic folks and their friends and family members!
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND MAY KEEP DEATH AT BAY LONGER
Eating right just may allow you to live longer! Chiropractic Solutions knows many San Jose chiropractic patients who’ll love to hear this! There is increasing evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption influences all-cause mortality. In a study of over 6000 people over 6 years, consuming more fruits and vegetables (particularly in those who had 7 servings or more a day) reduces all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables takes on an important role in reducing inflammation and lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, too. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see more positive results of eating more fruits and vegetables and a lower occurrence of osteoporosis, too. Chiropractic Solutions sees many San Jose chiropractic patients with osteoporosis who want to do something to stop, treat and prevent it. In one study, the more fruits and vegetables eaten, the higher the BMD and lesser the osteoporosis risk in middle and older age folks. And for those who may not enjoy vegetables, you’re lucky! Fruit is more likely valuable in this respect than vegetables. At least increase your fruit consumption! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are doubtful about eating fruits and vegetables, try being a kid again. Take a chance, and let yourself play with your food as one article states that sensory play is the forerunner to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It works for preschool kids who tried tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Chiropractic Solutions would love you to share your stories if you try this!
