It is summer harvest time in the US. The
garden bounty 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 can use on his/her own. Fortunately for us, generosity
abounds in gardeners. Novelli Wellness Center encourages
Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients to appreciatively take
those tomatoes, peppers, and green beans
and eat them for a remarkable anti-oxidant and nutritional
boost to fight inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and more! Novelli Wellness Center embraces
all of these benefits!
ANTI-OXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-DISEASE
Novelli Wellness Center knows this is an incredible
list of benefits. It’s difficult to separate
these actions from each other! They are all healthy benefits.
Tomatoes are so full of
nutrients, 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, enjoy tomatoes with some tasty,
healthy fats like olives, avocados or similar oils. (3) Bell and
chili peppers are filled with vitamins C, A, E, K1 as
well as potassium, folic acid and fiber. [We all could use
a bit more fiber in our diets! About fiber,
green beans are amazing sources. Additionally,
they have lots of proteins, carotenoids, and
anti-oxidants with only a few 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 help
fight inflammation, too, with their anti-oxidants. Raw and roasted peppers have
anti-oxidant benefits. Roasting may increase or decrease those
benefits determined by the pepper type and stage
of their growth. (7,8,9) Either way, your Orchard Park, NY
chiropractor urges you to eat some peppers, tomatoes,
and green beans! Your body will repay you!
