Do you munch on vegetables and fruits? Daily? Numerous
times daily? Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre encourages this daily
eating habit! And Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre recognizes that you know
fruits and vegetables are healthy foods, that you knows
vegetables and fruit should be staples of your Toronto healthy diets, and that you sees
eating fruits and vegetables is healthier than eating fast food.
But do we – Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre included! - eat fruits and vegetables like
we should? Unlikely. But you are not alone!
Life interrupts our best plans!
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is just letting you in on this gentle research-based
notice of the help eating fruits
and vegetables extends to Toronto 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! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows many Toronto chiropractic
patients who will love to hear this! There is increasing
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 (particularly
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
decreasing C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations as well. (2)
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE IMPROVES BMD
Lower bone mineral density (BMD) folks see
more positive results of consuming
more fruits and vegetables and a lower occurrence of
osteoporosis, too. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre has in its Toronto
chiropractic practice many Toronto chiropractic patients with
osteoporosis who want to do something to halt,
treat and prevent it. In one study, the more fruits and vegetables
consumed, the higher the BMD and lower the
osteoporosis risk in middle and older age folks. And for those who may not enjoy vegetables, you’re in luck! Fruit
is more likely helpful
in this respect than vegetables. At least increase
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 states that sensory play leads to tasting fruits and vegetables you play with! (4) It is successful with preschool kids who tried tasting
their “play” fruits and veggies! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre would love to
hear your stories if you try this!
