Vancouver 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? Vancouver Disc Centers encourages this everyday eating habit! And Vancouver Disc Centers gets that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you sees vegetables and fruit should be main parts of your Vancouver healthy diets, and that you sees eating fruits and vegetables is healthier than eating fast food. But do we – Vancouver Disc Centers included! - eat fruits and vegetables like we should? Not likely. But you are not the only one! Life distracts our best intentions! Vancouver Disc Centers is just sharing this gentle research-based notice of the help eating fruits and vegetables extends to Vancouver 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! Vancouver Disc Centers knows many Vancouver chiropractic patients who’ll love to hear this! There is growing 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 (particularly in those who consumed 7 servings or more a day) decreases all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables has an important role in lowering inflammation and decreasing 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 occurrence of osteoporosis, too. Vancouver Disc Centers sees many Vancouver chiropractic patients with osteoporosis who want to do something to halt, treat and prevent it. In one report, 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 be lovers of vegetables, you’re fortunate! Fruit is more likely valuable in this respect than vegetables. At least increase 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 as one article states that sensory play leads to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It works for preschool kids who tried tasting their “play” fruits and veggies! Vancouver Disc Centers would love to hear your stories if you try this!
