It’s 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 can use on his/her own. Fortunately for us, gardeners’ generosity abounds. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc urges
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients to gratefully 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! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is hard to split
these actions from each other! They are all beneficial.
Tomatoes are very nutrient rich, supplying 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 delicious,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or related oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are packed with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all could use
a little more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Plus,
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, 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 raise or lower those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your Fort Wayne
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
