By now, most people know
they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from
the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to
vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that
decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that
people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and
even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that
198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in
tomatoes and other red vegetables. "There is an idea that raw foods are
always going to be better," says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio
State University. "For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of
cooking can be helpful."
A number of factors decide
how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the
table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being
bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in
cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often
lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than
frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the
vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the
diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables
better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things
that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
