You know that most of the carrots are eaten raw, shredded and mixed with vermicelli, or sliced and fried with other vegetables. I don't know, this is not in line with the principle of nutrition. Because the carrot in the main nutrient beta-carotene, exists in the carrot cell wall, and the cell wall is composed of cellulose, the human body can not be directly digested. Only through chopping, cooking and other ways to make its cell wall broken, beta-carotene can be released, absorbed and utilized by the human body.
Scientific and reasonable way to eat is: carrots should be cooked and eaten, to maintain its nutritional best cooking method has two points: one is to cut carrots into cubes, add seasonings, and then fry with enough oil; the second is to cut carrots into cubes, add seasonings, and pork, beef, lamb, etc. together with the pressure cooker stewed for 15 ~ 20 minutes. Carotene is easily oxidized, cooking with pressure cooker stew, can reduce the contact between carrots and air, carotene preservation rate can be as high as 97%.
But women need to pay attention, carrots are rich in vitamins, if you carrots eat more, it is easy to cause menstrual abnormalities, and lead to infertility. The United States Johns Hopkins School of Medicine study found that excessive carotene will affect the ovary's luteinizing hormone synthesis, secretion is reduced, and some even cause no menstruation, no ovulation, or menstrual disorders. Researchers explained that the occurrence of the above phenomena may be the carotene interferes with the steroid synthesis caused by the condition. Therefore, the intake of carrots must be appropriate.
