Eating More and More Vegetables and Fruits

The pandemic gave us an opportunity to concentrate on our diet. We should try to consume healthy items as much as possible. This will make us fit and fresh.

Americans said that vegetables and fruits are part of their daily intake. But many people also count fried veggies in it. The reality is that fresh and fried items are quite different from each other in their nutritional value. Some nutritional experts do not even consider deep-fried vegetables in daily consumption.

We know that fruits and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. But their nutritional value depends on the way of their cooking. 

According to Experts, it is very crucial that in which form you are eating or cooking the vegetables Some cooking techniques can lessen the nutrients while others may increase it. Therefore, people should know which way is better to consume them.

There are many ways to consume vegetables. The choices include fresh, dried, canned, and frozen. Some people may think that fresh items are more beneficial than frozen ones. But it is not actually that.

The frozen items can be more nutritional than the Fresh ones. Fresh items can lose nutrients day after day therefore, it is recommendable to prefer frozen over fresh. Frozen items can also last longer and do not spoil.

We should try to buy fresh fruits and vegetables only if we plan to eat them immediately. Otherwise canned and frozen items are the best choices for later consumption.
