It is summer harvest time in the US. 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. Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center urges
Paramus chiropractic patients to appreciatively accept
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and feast on them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center welcomes
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Paramus Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It is difficult to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are very 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 bursting with vitamins C, A, E, K1 and potassium, folic acid and fiber. [All of us all need
a bit more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are amazing 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, assisting the prevention and even the stopping the spread of some cancers in 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 growth stage. (7,8,9) Either way, your Paramus
chiropractor urges you to enjoy some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will reward you!
