Juneau Chiropractor Encourages Eating Fruits and Veggies to Reduce Inflammation, Osteoporosis Risk, and All-Cause Mortality
Do you munch on vegetables and fruits? Daily? Numerous times a day? Aurora Chiropractic Center urges this everyday eating habit! And Aurora Chiropractic Center sees that you know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you sees vegetables and fruit should be main parts of your Juneau healthy diets, and that you recognizes eating fruits and vegetables is better than eating fast food. But do we – Aurora Chiropractic Center included! - eat fruits and vegetables like we should? Not likely. But you are not alone! Life distracts our best plans! Aurora Chiropractic Center is just letting you in on this gentle research-based notice of the benefit eating fruits and vegetables extends to Juneau 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 keep you living longer! Aurora Chiropractic Center knows many Juneau chiropractic patients who will 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 (especially in those who had 7 servings or more a day) reduces all-cause mortality. (1) The variety of fruits and vegetables takes on an important role in lowering inflammation and lowering C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, too. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see more favorable results of eating more fruits and vegetables and a lower occurrence of osteoporosis, too. Aurora Chiropractic Center sees many Juneau chiropractic patients with osteoporosis who want to do what they can 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 be lovers of vegetables, you’re lucky! Fruit tends to be more advantageous in this respect than vegetables. At least up your fruit consumption! (3)
HOW TO UP YOUR INTAKE OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES
If you are undecided about eating fruits and vegetables, try being kid-like. Take a chance, and allow yourself to play with your food because one article points out 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! Aurora Chiropractic Center would love to hear your stories if you try this!
