The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden bounty is copious! Every family circle seems
to have at least one passionate gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she can use on his/her own. Fortunately for us, generosity
overflows in gardeners. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages
Carrolltown chiropractic patients to appreciatively take
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and eat them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It is hard to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are so nutrient rich, 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, 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 and potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all need
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Plus,
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 increase or decrease those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) At any rate, your Carrolltown
chiropractor urges you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
