It is summer harvest time in the US. The
garden abundance 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 knows
what to do with. Luckily for us, gardeners’ generosity overflows. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic urges
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to gratefully accept
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It’s hard to separate
these actions from each other! They are all beneficial.
Tomatoes are very nutrient rich, providing vitamin C,
potassium and lycopene, an anti-oxidant that benefits 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 similar oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are packed with vitamins C, A, E, K1 and potassium, folic acid and fiber. [We all need
a bit more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Additionally,
they have large number of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are reported to
also be anticarcinogenic, helping
prevent and even stop 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 have
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) At any rate, your Fort Wayne
chiropractor urges you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
