Fall Veggies and Chiropractic Complement A Healthy Lifestyle

Time for fall vegetables! Onions. Potatoes. Leeks. Garlic. Shallots. Cabbage. Celery. Eggplant. Pepper. A feast for the vegetarian and all the rest of us! Full of nutrients, these fall vegetables feed us, nourish us, and inspire us to get to the kitchen and cook! Manchester chiropractic patients are into health. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries knows this and invites us all to eat healthy for our best Manchester life.

Healthy fall eating, what’s that mean to you? Colorful! Just imagine the whites of the onion mixing with the creams of the potatoes and the greens of celery and purples of eggplant and cabbage! Manchester meals all need more color to spice them up. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries appreciates hearing how some of our more adventurous cooking Manchester chiropractic patients make new dishes with such seasonal favorites that incorporate such nutrient rich foods. What a great way to enhance daily nutrition!

How much nutrition is in these types of vegetables? Lots! Polyphenols galore! Onions, leeks, and garlic are filled with polyphenols - phytonutrients and flavonoids – which are receiving more and more attention for their role in preventing degenerative diseases like cancer and cardiovascular issues. Now, don’t overpeel the onions. Much of their nutrient power is in the outer layers, nutrients like quercetin (an antioxidant to fight free radical damage), cooper, vitamin B6, B1, C and folate. (1) Eggplant delivers B1, copper and fiber as well as B6, niacin, folate and vitamin K. (2) And cabbage is really high in supplying vitamins K and C and others. (3) These fall veggies aren’t that demanding. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is sure that they are just fine being eaten as close to their natural states as possible!

However you choose to enjoy the fall flavors, do choose to contact Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries for a Manchester chiropractic appointment that will complement your healthy lifestyle efforts of incorporating tasty fall foods into your food plan! It's time for chiropractic care.
