It is summer harvest time in the US. The
garden bounty is aplenty! Every family circle seems
to have at least one passionate gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she can use on his/her own. Luckily for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic encourages
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and feast on them for an amazing anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It is difficult to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are so nutrient rich, supplying vitamin C,
potassium and lycopene, an anti-oxidant that benefits cancer and
heart disease prevention and anti-inflammatory activity. (1,2) To enhance
absorption of lycopene, enjoy tomatoes with some tasty,
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. [All of us all could use
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, helping
prevent and even stop the spread of some cancers throughout the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Further, peppers help
fight inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers have
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those
benefits depending on the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your Fernandina Beach
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
