Groton Chiropractic Nutrition Tip: Accept Those Tomato, Bean and Pepper Gifts from Gardeners!
The gifts of the summer garden abound! The garden bounty is aplenty! Every family circle seems to have at least one avid gardener with more tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she can use on his/her own. Luckily for us, gardeners’ generosity flourishes. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office urges Groton chiropractic patients to gratefully 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! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office welcomes all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows this is an incredible list of benefits. It’s difficult to separate these actions from each other! They are all beneficial. Tomatoes are so 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 flavorful, 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 need a bit more fiber in our diets! About fiber, green beans are amazing sources. Additionally, they have many proteins, carotenoids, and anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Green beans have nutrients reported to also be 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 offer anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may raise or lower those benefits depending on the pepper type and stage of their growth. (7,8,9) At any rate, your Groton chiropractor encourages you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes, and green beans! Your body will repay you!
