It is summer harvest time in the US. The
garden bounty 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
abounds in gardeners. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages
Montreal chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic 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, 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, eat tomatoes with some tasty,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or similar oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are filled 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! About fiber,
green beans are wonderful sources. Additionally,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are described as being anticarcinogenic, assisting the prevention and even the stopping the spread of some cancers throughout the
body. (4, 5, 6)] Additionally, peppers assist in fighting inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers have
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those
benefits depending on the pepper type and growth stage. (7,8,9) At any rate, your Montreal
chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
