Wellness Wednesday: 3 More Seasonal Vegetables Perfect for Beach Season

Last week we featured the first set of the top 3 Springtime Vegetables perfect for getting in shape this summer. With full blooms and warm rays, we were inspired to release 3 more from The Drugless Doctor, Dr. Bob. His dedication to living a well-balanced and all-natural lifestyle has transformed the lives of his patients in unthinkable ways. As he states, “food is medicine and medicine is food.”

Over at PMBC Group, Los Angeles Health and Wellness PR Firm, we took that quote to heart especially with all the fad diets and trends making headlines. Rather than partaking in these diets, we’ve resorted to striving for the healthy, drugless lifestyle for the summer by incorporating the following into our daily diets:

1. Chives – The year round herb is actually ever so potent and that much more flavorful during the springtime. Filled with copious amount of allium a chemical also found in garlic has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, chives is a must use for lunch and dinnertime dishes.

2. Radish – It’s rare to hear someone ask for radishes or even voice this as their favorite vegetable. However, you might want to rethink this as radishes promote digestion and the low-caloric root is perfect for round the clock snacking.

3. Spinach – Cheap, efficient and jam packed with vitamin A, E, and K, spinach should be kept in your diet all season long. With traces of omega-3 fatty acids (great for your brain and skin) as well as folate and chlorophyll (stopping any leg cramps or sluggishness), you’ll be ready to go with this superfood.

How will you be implementing springtime veggies?

Top 3 Seasonal Vegetables Perfect for Beach Season

Once again, that time is fast approaching, finding traces of sand in your car, late warm-lazy nights, and city-goers gallantly enjoying each ounce of sun but for some it means one thing: gearing up for beach season. PMBC Group’s, Los Angeles multi-tier PR firm, newest health and wellness client, Dr. Bob, better known as The Drugless Doctor shares his top spring vegetables not only to loose weight but to stay in shape.

Regardless of your summertime goals, enjoy the listed vegetables as this season consists of intense flavors. If you wait too long you might miss out on some of healthiest and tastiest foods.

1. Asparagus – With only 40 calories per cup this is the perfect snack and side dish. Ditch those potato chips and licorice and resort to the anti-aging and anti-cancer filled vegetable. Now is the season to get the most out of asparagus, so utilize it. Don’t forget to cut the ends of green food regardless of shape or size!

2. Beets – Some hate them, others love them. Available from late fall to early spring, now is your chance to start appreciating Mother Nature’s finest. The root vegetable can lower your cholesterol by 40% and it only takes 1/3 cup. They’re also a great source of vitamin K, calcium and follate.

3. Peas – Move over bananas, a cup of peas has over 300mg of potassium. If you’re not a fan toss them in salads or soups. They are a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals. Make sure to eat them in their rawest form, by buying them in pod form and cooking them to your liking; but don’t overcook these little guys!

The following were helpful tidbits of advise of what Dr. Bob has to offer your daily regiment. Make sure to check out the rest of his top spring foods HERE.
