oldage

Just because one is reaching oldage, it doesn’t mean one shouldn’t think about veggies any more. Should you eat vegetables raw or cooked? Both is the answer.

As you may have heard, exposing vegetables to a lot of heat can destroy the very nutrients, that we want to preserve. However, cooking some vegetables actually brings out their nutrients. Cooking carrots breaks down their tough cell walls, releasing more beta-carotene. Cooking broccoli releases more of the indole content by freeing a crucial enzyme.

When you cook you vegetables, cook them just enough to make them tender, but still crisp. Cook only what you plan to eat over a maximum of two to three days. The longer you allow veggies to sit around, the more they lose their wonderful nutrients.
