The rewards of the summer garden abound! The
garden bounty is copious! Every family circle seems
to have at least one enthusiastic gardener with more
tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she knows
what to do with. Fortunately for us, gardeners’ generosity abounds. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center urges
Manahawkin 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! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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, providing vitamin C,
potassium and lycopene, an anti-oxidant that supports cancer and
heart disease prevention and anti-inflammatory activity. (1,2) To enhance
absorption of lycopene, eat 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 and potassium, folic acid and fiber. [We all could use
a bit 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 few calories. Green beans have
nutrients 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 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 Manahawkin
chiropractor encourages you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will reward you!
