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. Fortunately for us, generosity
overflows in gardeners. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn encourages
Ashburn chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and feast on them for an amazing anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It’s hard to detach
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are so full of
nutrients, 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 tasty,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or related oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are bursting with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all need
a bit more fiber in our diets! Speaking of fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Additionally,
they have many proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a few calories. Green beans have
nutrients reported to
also be anticarcinogenic, helping
prevent and even stop the spread of some cancers in 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 raise or lower those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your Ashburn
chiropractor urges you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
