The rewards of the summer garden are
plentiful! 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. Luckily for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages
Groton chiropractic patients to gratefully 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! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is hard to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are very full of
nutrients, supplying 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, eat tomatoes with some flavorful,
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 bit more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Plus,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are reported to
also be 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 offer
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may raise or lower those
benefits depending on the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your Groton
chiropractor encourages you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
