1. Durable vegetables
Office workers usually like to do big shopping once a week, and store the purchased vegetables at home and eat them slowly. Although this is time-saving and convenient, you should know that vegetables lose a lot of nutrients every 1 day, such as spinach. Under normal circumstances (20℃), vitamin C will lose as much as 84% every day.
Therefore, the storage time of vegetables should be minimized. If you store it, you should also choose a dry, ventilated and dark place.
2. Throw away the part with the most vitamins.
Some people's accustomed vegetable processing methods also affect the nutrients in vegetables.
For example, some people throw away watercress in order to eat the sprouts of bean sprouts. In fact, the vitamin C content of watercress is 2 ~ 3 times more than that of bean sprouts.
For another example, the vegetable juice squeezed out when making dumplings will also lose more than 70% of vitamins. The correct way is to cut the vegetables and mix them with oil, then add salt and seasoning, so that there is not so much soup in the oily dumpling stuffing.
3. Stir fry over low heat
Vitamin c and B 1 are both afraid of heat. Therefore, don't cook with a small fire and stir-fry with a big fire.
And adding a little vinegar is also beneficial to vitamin preservation.
Some vegetables are more suitable for cold dishes, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.
Don't eat the food immediately when it is ready.
Many people like to heat their rice in a pot or put it in a thermos before eating it.
This will also lose a lot of nutrients. Just think, it's a pity that the rice that is finally cooked is not nutritious because it is not eaten immediately.
5. Eat vegetables instead of soup
When cooking, many nutrients in vegetables are dissolved in soup. It's a pity not to drink.
6. Cut vegetables first, then wash them.
Chefs in the canteen often cut vegetables first and then rinse them together, which saves trouble.
Many people don't agree. In fact, doing so will also make a lot of vitamins flow into the water in vain.
7. I prefer to eat stir-fried dishes
Many dieters believe that frying meat and vegetables together can reduce fat intake. In fact, vegetables absorb oil more easily.
8. Vegetarian, no meat
Nowadays, there are more and more vegetarians. Although it is beneficial to prevent arteriosclerosis, it is wrong to be a vegetarian:
First, people must take a certain amount of cholesterol from meat every day, and a proper amount of cholesterol is also beneficial to cancer prevention.
Second, a simple vegetarian diet will lead to insufficient intake of protein, which is easy to cause digestive tract tumors.
Third, vitamin B2 intake is insufficient.
Fourth, because of the widespread zinc deficiency in vegetables, vegetarians are also prone to serious zinc deficiency.
A better way is to eat according to your physical characteristics. It can not only achieve the effect of vegetarian diet, but also avoid the harm of vegetarian diet to the body.
9. Don't wash raw vegetables.
Nowadays, the pollution of vegetables is becoming more and more serious, with all kinds of pesticide residues and parasitic bacteria, so it is best to wash and peel raw vegetables.
