It’s summer harvest time in the US. The
garden abundance is aplenty! Every family circle seems
to have at least one avid gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she can use on his/her own. Luckily for us, gardeners’ generosity overflows. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries urges
Manchester chiropractic patients to appreciatively 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! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is difficult to split
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 enhance
absorption of lycopene, enjoy tomatoes with some delicious,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or similar oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are bursting with vitamins C, A, E, K1 and potassium, folic acid and fiber. [We all could use
a bit more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Plus,
they have large number 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 in the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Additionally, peppers help
fight inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers offer
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may raise or lower those
benefits determined by the pepper type and growth stage. (7,8,9) Either way, your Manchester
chiropractor encourages you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will reward you!
