One shot keto - How are nutrients lost during cooking?
by sherly sylvia (2021-04-17)
We usually strive to eat fruits and vegetables because they are high in vitamins, fiber, or potassium. However, if we do not cook them properly, we can lose the contribution of these foods. Therefore, it is necessary to learn a few things to conserve the nutrients in our meals.
Although the ideal is to eat raw and freshly cut fruits and vegetables, the truth is that this is not always possible. Either because the uncooked food itself is impossible for our body to digest, or because its raw flavor is too strong or not too rich. Nothing happens, we can cook them, but if we want our body to be nourished by all the good things, they have ... we better cook them well!
Tips to conserve nutrients in your meals
There are a few general recommendations to keep in mind. Light, oxygen, and excess water remove these nutrients in vegetables. Therefore, when we go to cook these foods, it is ideal that we do not previously soak them in any case. And when they are going to be introduced into the pot or pan, it is important that the water or oil are already ready to cook the food, thus minimizing the contact time with the stove.
Another thing you should know is that the larger the pieces in which the piece has been cut, the less contact with oxygen it will have and there will be less oxidation. Finally, whenever possible, leave the skin on and eat it, as it contains the most concentrated nutrients. Sometimes its taste or texture will be strange to you, but if you get used to it, you will do your body a favor.
On the other hand, it is very important to choose well how we are going to cook them. Ideally, the process should be fast and, if possible, without a lot of water or oil. In this way, cooking steamed, in the oven or on the grill (even in the microwave!) Is a good option since no water is used in the process? But be careful, this does not mean that you can leave it too long, since the heat also works against us. You can also sauté foods with little oil and at a high temperature. Thus, in a few minutes, you will have a prepared dish, rich and with all its nutritional contributions.
But if your food needs a longer cooking, it does not mean that all is lost. Since food "forgets" its nutrients in the water, the ideal is that if you cook something for a long time, cook it in the form of a stew. Thus, the broth itself that accompanies the food retains the nutrients so, if you slice the dish well, you will minimize their loss. On the other hand, when boiling a food, you can add vinegar or lemon juice, which contributes to the preservation of nutrients.
Finally, contrary to what we may think a priori, frying does not have to mean loss of vitamins, since the crust that surrounds the food helps in the conservation of vitamins. Of course, keep in mind that frying is very caloric and greasy, so do not abuse this option. Once you have learned these tricks to conserve the nutrients in your meals, share it with your friends, your health will thank you.
If fast weight loss while consuming nearly unlimited amounts of fat sounds too good to be true, "think again," keto diet devotees say. Followers of the trendy high-fat, low-carb meal plan swear it clears the brain while lowering the number on the scale. Before embarking on the diet, it's important to look at what kinds of foods you actually enjoy eating, since if you particularly enjoy high-carb foods like fruits, it might not be the right diet for you. But there are plenty of ketogenic diet foods that will make you feel full and satisfied, and perhaps even like royalty.
