Health Tips: Heating green vegetables repeatedly also reduces their nutrients.
Health Tips: Vegetables and fruits are full of nutrition. Every vegetable and all kinds of fruits contain some or the other nutrients which are not only helpful for staying healthy but also in curing diseases. People eat fruits and vegetables to stay healthy, yet there is a complaint that there is a lack of nutrients in the body. The reason for this is not that there are fewer nutrients in vegetables and fruits, but the big reason is that people do not consume them properly.
According to diet and nutrition expert Dr. Aarti Mehra, it is very important to use fruits and vegetables properly. If we talk about the way of cutting vegetables, then a lot of care should be taken in that too. Many people cut vegetables very finely. Cooking a vegetable by cutting it finely destroys the nutrients contained in it in large quantities. Vegetables should not be kept for a long time even after cutting them. Cut the vegetable only when it is to be cooked and do not cut the pieces too small. Do not cook the vegetable too much and do not heat the vegetable again and again. Repeated heating of green vegetables also reduces their nutrients.
Pay attention to the point of peeling the vegetable along with cutting it. Before peeling the vegetable, keep it in salt water or water containing red medicine for a while and then wash it with clean water. After this, peel the vegetable and remove only the thin peel. Many nutrients also remain in the peels of vegetables, so the thick layer of peels should not be removed. In this way, the wastage of vegetables will also be reduced. Vegetables should be cut only after washing them. Even if the vegetable is cut and washed, its nutrients get washed away with water, so cut the vegetable only after washing it. Include fruits and vegetables daily in the diet. Eat vegetables according to the season.
