FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND MAY KEEP DEATH AT BAY LONGER
Eating right just may keep you living longer! Satterwhite Chiropractic knows many Oxford chiropractic patients who’ll love to read this! There is growing evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption influences all-cause mortality. In a study of over 6000 people over 6 years, consuming more fruits and vegetables (particularly in those who ate 7 servings or more a day) reduces all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables plays an important role in lowering inflammation and reducing C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations as well. (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 occurrence of osteoporosis, too. Satterwhite Chiropractic has in its Oxford chiropractic practice many Oxford 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 love vegetables, you’re fortunate! Fruit is more likely beneficial in this respect than vegetables. At least up your fruit consumption! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are hesitant in eating fruits and vegetables, try being kid-like. Take a chance, and let yourself play with your food because 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 tried tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Satterwhite Chiropractic would love you to share your stories if you try this!
