They de-flame your body’s inflammation. Johnson Chiropractic is all about easing inflammation. Inflammation puts a damper on life’s enjoyment, so part of the Richmond chiropractic treatment plan is to reduce inflammation. Adding fruits and vegetables is one easy way since everyone eats daily anyway!

Bones benefit.

The more fruits and vegetables consumed, the higher the bone mineral density and the lower the osteoporosis risk in middle and older age. (And if you are one of our Richmond chiropractic care patients who may not be lovers of vegetables, you are in luck! Fruit tends to be more beneficial in this regard than vegetables.) Lower bone mineral density folks realize more promising outcomes of eating more fruits and vegetables and a lower occurrence of osteoporosis. (1) Eat more fruit if nothing else!|At least up your fruit consumption, our Richmond chiropractic clients!

Benefits for Inflammation Reduction

Inflammation reduction is related to the variety of fruits and vegetables eaten. The greater the variety, the greater the anti-inflammatory effect which leads to coronary heart disease risk reduction. C-reactive protein levels also drop. The quantity of fruits and vegetables didn’t seem to influence the results much. (2) So eat lots of different types of fruits and vegetables!

Benefits for Longevity

Eating more fruits and vegetables potentially improves life longevity. More evidence evolves reporting that there is a link between eating fruits and vegetables and “all-cause mortality”. In a 6 year study, just 4% perished from “all causes” which guided researchers to speculate that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduction in "all-cause mortality". Seven (7) servings or more a day of fruits and vegetables is optimal. The question of raw versus cooked is pondered. (3) Many Richmond chiropractic patients want to live longer and healthier. There’s a connection! Healthier living may well lead to longer living. Living healthier may lead to living longer.

If you are just plain hesitant to eat fruits and vegetables, become childlike again. Retrain your brain! Play with your food as one article shares 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! What a way to learn!
