9 HEALTHY WAYS TO EAT OUR FAVORITE FOODS

There is a correlation between the colors of different vegetables and the health
benefits they provide.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Red vegetables are famous for their antioxidant properties, while vegetables are
known to promote good eye health, and yolks are often considered a source of
protein. But how should we eat all of these foods to maximize their nutritional
benefits?

1. Bananas

Bananas are a nutritional powerhouse, including vitamins B and C, as well as
magnesium and potassium. And it is these fibrous strips between the banana and
its skin that we should be grateful for. They are called 'phloem bundles' and
they distribute water and nutrients throughout the fruit. They are also likely
to contain many types of fiber and will make a great addition to your diet. So
do not get rid of them!

2. Tomatoes

Boiling a tomato may sound blasphemous, but cooked tomatoes release more of a
special cancer-fighting antioxidant, lycopene. This happens because the heat
breaks down the hard cell walls of the fruit, making it easier for our body to
absorb its nutrients. Simmering a tomato or making a cooked sauce will also do
the trick.

3. Swiss chard, beets and turnips

You are absolutely right if you eat these vegetables for their leaves, but their
stems are also edible. The cooked stems provide a dose of glutamine, a special
acid that helps heal the body. They also taste delicious when blanched and
sautéed in olive oil. So get the most out of your veggies by eating all of their
parts and get a bigger vitamin boost.

4. Potatoes

Eating a potato with the skin provides more fiber, vitamins and minerals than
without it. These include vitamin C, various B vitamins, iron, calcium, and
potassium. All of this gives you energy, reduces stress, and benefits your bones
and digestion. The best way to keep the skin edible is to bake the potato in the
oven.

5. Apples and oranges

Eat these fruits with their skins! Apple peels contain an antioxidant,
quercetin, which works wonders for the heart and brain. Orange peels, on the
other hand, contain compounds called flavones, which lower cholesterol and
protect the heart.

6. eggs

Although eggs become more digestible when cooked, high temperatures can damage
some of their nutrients. For example, microwave-cooked, fried, and hard-boiled
eggs contain fewer antioxidants and cholesterol is oxidized. Poached and
soft-boiled eggs are the healthiest - they maximize protein intake and keep
nutrients intact. These cooking methods do not add any extra calories, either.

7. Onion and garlic

Chopping the onion and garlic releases alliinase, an enzyme that helps produce a
nutrient called allicin. Allicin, when consumed, helps create other compounds
that protect us against disease. Additionally, onion and garlic contain sulfur,
which works well with foods high in iron and zinc, such as poultry, beef, and
liver.

8. Cereals and legumes

Compounds found naturally in grains and legumes can make them difficult to
digest. When you soak beans and grains, you reduce the amount of these
compounds, which makes the minerals they contain more available and digestion
easier. It also helps you better absorb minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc,
which are released from hot water. If you ever buy kidney beans, soak and boil
them.

9. Green vegetables

Anything green should be eaten raw. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, avocado,
spinach, and all other vegetables contain water-soluble nutrients that are
sensitive to heat. High temperatures damage vitamin C, folate, and vitamins B1
and B5, so you get more when you eat these raw green foods. For example, raw
spinach contains three times more vitamin C than cooked spinach. If you do not
like raw broccoli, try simmering it without exposing it to too much water.
