Do you eat your vegetables and fruits? Daily? Several times daily? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. encourages this daily eating habit! And Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. gets that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you knows vegetables and fruit should be staples of your Auburn healthy diets, and that you sees eating fruits and vegetables is healthier than eating fast food. But do we – Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. included! - eat fruits and vegetables as we should? Not likely. But you are not the only one! Life interrupts our best plans! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is just letting you in on this gentle research-based reminder of the advantage eating fruits and vegetables extends to Auburn 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! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows many Auburn chiropractic patients who will love to hear this! There is growing 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 (especially in those who consumed 7 servings or more a day) decreases all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables takes on an important role in lowering inflammation and reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, too. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see more positive results of eating more fruits and vegetables and a lower occurrence of osteoporosis, too. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. sees many Auburn 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 eaten, 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 beneficial in this concern than vegetables. At least up your fruit intake! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are undecided about eating fruits and vegetables, try being a kid again. Take a chance, and let yourself play with your food because one article states that sensory play is the forerunner to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It is successful with preschool kids who tried tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. would love to hear your stories if you take a stab at this!
