Seven amazing misunderstandings of vegetable nutrition
eating vegetables is good for health, who knows that not eating vegetables can achieve nutritional requirements, and some wrong ways of eating may lead to half the effort.
1. long storage of vegetables.
a lot of office workers like to do a big shopping once a week, and buy the vegetables that they buy back and eat at home slowly. This saves time and convenience, but it is important to know that if vegetables are placed for more than one day, they will lose a lot of nutrients. Spinach, for example, usually loses 84% of its vitamin C in a normal day (20 C).
therefore, vegetable storage should be minimized. If the storage should also choose dry, ventilated, avoid light.
2. lose the most vitamin part.
some vegetables processed by people will also affect the nutrient content in vegetables. For example, some people throw the bean paste out of order to sprout bean sprouts. Actually, the vitamin C content of bean paste is 2 to 3 times higher than that of bean sprouts.
3. small fire stir fry.
vitamin C and B1 are all afraid of heat. Therefore, avoid cooking with small fire and stir fry. In addition, add a little vinegar is also conducive to vitamin preservation.
some vegetables are more suitable for eating in cold dishes, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.
4. dishes are not ready to eat right away.
many people like to cook the food in the pot or put it in the heat preservation bucket, and wait for some time to eat.
will also lose a lot of nutrients, think of the hard food, because it doesn't eat immediately and makes the meal become unnutritious. It's a pity.
5. do not drink soup. When
stir fry vegetables, a lot of nutrients in the vegetables are dissolved in the vegetable soup.
6. prefer to eat fried dishes.
many people who lose weight believe that cooking with meat and vegetables can reduce fat intake, but vegetables are more easily absorbed.
7. vegetarians do not eat meat.
there are more and more vegetarians at the time, although it is beneficial to prevent arteriosclerosis, but if only eat vegetables without eating meat every day, it is not good for health.
this is because, one, people must eat a certain amount of cholesterol every day from the meat, a moderate amount of cholesterol is also conducive to cancer prevention; two, a vegetarian diet can lead to insufficient protein intake, easy to cause digestive tract tumors; three, long term only eat vegetables without meat, will lead to the deficiency of vitamin B2 intake.
