FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND MAY KEEP DEATH AT BAY LONGER
Eating right just may keep you living longer! Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees many Largo chiropractic patients who will love to hear this! There is developing evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption affects all-cause mortality. In a study of over 6000 people over 6 years, eating more fruits and vegetables (particularly in those who consumed 7 servings or more a day) reduces all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables has an important role in lowering inflammation and lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations as well. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see more positive results of consuming more fruits and vegetables and a lower incidence of osteoporosis, too. Hollstrom & Associates Inc has in its Largo chiropractic practice many Largo chiropractic patients with osteoporosis who want to do what they can to halt, treat and prevent it. In one study, the more fruits and vegetables consumed, the higher the BMD and lesser the osteoporosis risk in middle and older age folks. And for those who may not be lovers of vegetables, you’re lucky! Fruit tends to be more helpful in this regard than vegetables. At least increase your fruit consumption! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are hesitant in eating fruits and vegetables, try being a kid again. Take a chance, and let yourself play with your food as one article points out that sensory play is the forerunner to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It is successful with preschool kids who attempted tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Hollstrom & Associates Inc would love you to share your stories if you try this!
