Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Nutrition Tip: Accept Those Tomato, Bean and Pepper Gifts from Gardeners!
The rewards of the summer garden are plentiful! 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. Luckily for us, generosity overflows in gardeners. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic urges Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans and eat them for an amazing anti-oxidant and nutritional boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic embraces all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic knows this is an amazing list of benefits. It’s hard to split these actions from each other! They are all beneficial. Tomatoes are so nutrient rich, 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, eat tomatoes with some tasty, healthy fats like olives, avocados or similar 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 bit more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber, green beans are wonderful sources. Additionally, they have many proteins, carotenoids, and anti-oxidants with only a few 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 growth stage.
