Largo Chiropractic Nutrition Tip: Accept Those Tomato, Bean and Pepper Gifts from Gardeners!
It’s summer harvest time in the US. The garden abundance is aplenty! Every family circle seems to have at least one passionate gardener with more tomatoes and green beans and peppers than he or she knows what to do with. Fortunately for us, generosity overflows in gardeners. Hollstrom & Associates Inc urges Largo chiropractic patients to appreciatively take those green beans, peppers and tomatoes and feast on them for an amazing anti-oxidant and nutritional boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Hollstrom & Associates Inc embraces all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows this is an amazing list of benefits. It is hard to detach these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits. Tomatoes are so 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 enhance absorption of lycopene, eat tomatoes with some flavorful, 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 need a little more fiber in our diets! About fiber, green beans are marvelous sources. Plus, they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and anti-oxidants with only a few calories. Nutrients in green beans are reported to also be anticarcinogenic, assisting the prevention and even the stopping 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 increase or decrease those benefits depending on the pepper type and stage of their growth.
