The rewards of the summer garden are
plentiful! The
garden bounty 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. Luckily for us, generosity
overflows in gardeners. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre urges
Toronto chiropractic patients to gratefully take
those green beans, peppers and tomatoes
and eat them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows this is an amazing
list of benefits. It is difficult to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
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 bursting with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all need
a little more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are marvelous sources. Plus,
they have large number of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a small number of calories. Green beans have
nutrients reported to
also be 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) Either way, your Toronto
chiropractor urges you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
