Williamson Chiropractor Encourages Eating Fruits and Veggies to Reduce Inflammation, Osteoporosis Risk, and All-Cause Mortality
Do you munch on vegetables and fruits? Daily? Several times a day? Apple Country Chiropractic encourages this everyday eating habit! And Apple Country Chiropractic sees that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you knows vegetables and fruit should be main parts of your Williamson healthy diets, and that you recognizes eating fruits and vegetables is better than eating fast food. But do we – Apple Country Chiropractic included! - eat fruits and vegetables as we should? Unlikely. But you are not the only one! Life distracts our best intentions! Apple Country Chiropractic is just sharing this gentle research-based notice of the benefit eating fruits and vegetables offers Williamson chiropractic folks and their friends and family members!
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND MAY KEEP DEATH AT BAY LONGER
Eating right just may allow you to live longer! Apple Country Chiropractic knows many Williamson chiropractic patients who’ll love to read this! There is increasing evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption influences all-cause mortality. In a study of over 6000 people over 6 years, eating more fruits and vegetables (particularly in those who had 7 servings or more a day) reduces all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables has an important role in decreasing inflammation and lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, too. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see more positive outcomes of eating more fruits and vegetables and a lower incidence of osteoporosis, too. Apple Country Chiropractic sees many Williamson chiropractic patients with osteoporosis who want to do something to stop, treat and prevent it. In one study, the more fruits and vegetables eaten, the higher the BMD and lower the osteoporosis risk in middle and older age folks. And for those who may not love vegetables, you’re lucky! Fruit is more likely valuable in this regard than vegetables. At least up your fruit consumption! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are tentative about eating fruits and vegetables, try being kid-like. Take a chance, and allow yourself to play with your food because one article states that sensory play leads to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It is successful with preschool kids who attempted tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Apple Country Chiropractic would love you to share your stories if you try this!
