How To Retain The Nutrients Of Your Fruits & Veggies
Did you know that National Nutrition Month March 2015 has just kick started? This celebratory month goes above and beyond to educate individuals of the importance of eating right and treating your body the way it deserves to be treated. Gathered are helpful tips to get the right nutrients so that you can celebrate National Nutrition Month the right, most nutritious way:
- Refrain from overcooking vegetables, as this will allow some of the nutrients in the veggies to slip away.
- When steaming veggies, it is important to use a minimal amount of water and cook on the low heat setting.
- You can retain the most nutrients in your veggies by adding them to homemade soups and stews. This ensures that you still get to indulge on the nutrients that have left the vegetables.
- When purchasing fruits and veggies, try to go for local produce whenever possible. This may mean visiting your local farmers market once a week.
