The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden bounty 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 can use on his/her own. Luckily for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. Layden Chiropractic urges
Plainville chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Layden Chiropractic embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Layden Chiropractic knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It is hard to split
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, enjoy tomatoes with some flavorful,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or related 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 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 small number of calories. Green beans have
nutrients reported to
also be anticarcinogenic, assisting the prevention and even the stopping the spread of some cancers in the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Further, peppers help
fight inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers offer
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those
benefits depending on the pepper type and growth stage. (7,8,9) At any rate, your Plainville
chiropractor urges you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will reward you!
