Carrolltown Chiropractor Encourages Eating Fruits and Veggies to Reduce Inflammation, Osteoporosis Risk, and All-Cause Mortality
Do you eat your vegetables and fruits? Daily? Several times daily? Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation urges this everyday eating habit! And Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you recognizes vegetables and fruit should be main parts of your Carrolltown healthy diets, and that you recognizes eating fruits and vegetables is better than eating fast food. But do we – Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation included! - eat fruits and vegetables like we should? Unlikely. But you are not the only one! Life interrupts our best plans! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is just letting you in on this gentle research-based reminder of the good eating fruits and vegetables presents to Carrolltown 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! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows many Carrolltown chiropractic patients who’ll love to read this! There is increasing evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption has an effect on 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 plays an important role in reducing 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 consuming more fruits and vegetables and a lower rate of osteoporosis, too. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation sees many Carrolltown 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 in luck! Fruit tends to be more valuable in this respect 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 a kid again. Take a chance, and allow yourself to 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 attempted tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation would love you to share your stories if you try this!
