The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden abundance is copious! Every family circle seems
to have at least one avid gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she knows
what to do with. Luckily for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. New Roads Chiropractic Center urges
New Roads chiropractic patients to appreciatively take
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and eat them for an amazing anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! New Roads Chiropractic Center embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
New Roads Chiropractic Center knows this is an incredible
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 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. [We all need
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Additionally,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Green beans have
nutrients described as being anticarcinogenic, helping
prevent and even stop the spread of some cancers throughout the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Additionally, 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 growth stage. (7,8,9) At any rate, your New Roads
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
