Things we should know when eating vegetables

We have already known that eating vegetables especially raw give you an abundance of nutrients in a single shot. But without knowing the facts about how to eat vegetables may end up with specific unwanted consequences. In addition, many of us do not even like to eat them raw. However, in order to get a healthy life, we have to give away our pleasure of eating and consider what we are eating and why we are eating.

Eating a bunch of food with Trans fats may give you a complete pleasure, but it is going to effect in longer run. Moreover, eating them may make you obese, which will be followed by many inevitable diseases. So if you are a person like me who does not like to eat salads with kale or any other raw vegetables you could make some smoothies with this vegetable and drink. This way you don’t have to waste time on cutting and chewing, instead, you will get many nutrients in a single shot.

Things to consider before doing this or eating salad are remember that vegetable alone can cure many diseases about a significant percentage.

Eating seven or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day reduces your risk of death at any point in time by 42 percent compared to eating less than one portion, reports a new study. This is the first study to link fruit and vegetable consumption with all-cause, cancer and heart disease deaths in a nationally-representative population, the first to quantify health benefits per-portion, and the first to identify the types of fruit and vegetable with the most benefit.

Another point to consider is that when you want to consume them say after one week, you better freeze those items, because when you kept vegetables open the chances of nutrients escaping is more when compared to frozen vegetables.

Please be aware that canned vegetables are not so good when compared to natural vegetables. Because in order to increase the shelf life of the vegetables, they pasteurize, which end up in killing off most essential enzymes.

When you want to consume cabbage, broccoli or onion, don’t ignore or throw away the most nutrient part of the vegetable that is the outermost part. And don’t forget to cook if needed in lower flame, which contributes in decrease of nutrients if cooked in high flame.

These are just a few things I assume that are important.
