The gifts of the summer garden abound! The
garden abundance is copious! 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. Fortunately for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. Hollstrom & Associates Inc urges
Largo 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! Hollstrom & Associates Inc welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It’s difficult to split
these actions from each other! They are all beneficial.
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 enhance
absorption of lycopene, eat tomatoes with some tasty,
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. [We all need
a little more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Plus,
they have many proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Nutrients in green beans are described as being anticarcinogenic, helping
prevent and even stop 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 Largo
chiropractor urges you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
