Get the most of your nutrients from your food. Know how? | Srirupa Karar

Are you wondering that the food which you intake stacks up? Or have you ever thought about what happens to the food nutrition that you are eating? You are of the wrong concept if you think that raw fruits and vegetables are the best. Keep reading to know a few facts about food that you are intaking.
The easiest way to be on a healthy diet is to eat a wide variety of food items that include a lot of vitamins and minerals. If you are planning to become a healthy eater, then you should keep in mind that incorporation of fresh fruits and vegetables is crucial.
Are you aware that if you prepare your meals in some particular ways, and also combine certain food items, then you can obtain maximum nutrition? To absorb maximum nutrition in every bite we have shared a few tips.

Let us focus on a few things that will help you get the most nutrition from the food that you intake. 

Although, we have mostly heard that eating raw and less processed food products are better than other options. However, you will be surprised to know that it is not the healthiest option. There are a few items that are better when eaten the ones that are processed more. For instance, tomato products that are canned have more cancer-fighting lycopene as compared to the fresh raw ones. Similarly, cooked eggs are more healthy when consumed, instead of the raw ones.
According to researchers, cooked eggs have 90% nutrients, whereas raw ones have only 51.3%.
If you are a mushroom lover, according to science, the best form to have mushrooms is in its grilled form. If you fry or boil them, then its nutritional value is destroyed.
Vitamins on the other hand that are water-soluble are susceptible to heat and water more. Hence, when you are cooking vegetables such as winter squash, asparagus, beans or any other leafy vegetables, then it is always recommended to use little water and low heat. If the instructions are not followed properly then nutrients from food items are lost. The leftover cooking water should be kept as soup as it is believed to contain vitamins which are leached from the food.

Pairing certain food items to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.​

When you take into account mixing certain food items together, then it is believed that maximum nutrients are absorbed. The most amount of nutrients is facilitated by mixing a few food items. Let us know the right pairing so that you can obtain maximum benefits.

  • You can pair fatty foods with other food items that contain fat-soluble vitamins. The vitamins include Vitamins A, D, E, and K. You can also drizzle your salad with a few drops of olive oil. The fat present in Olive Oil assists in the absorption of beta-carotene in red and orange peppers. Hence, mix such items together to obtain maximum nutrition.
  • By eating food items that are rich in Vitamin C, the tendency to absorb iron enhances. Even nonheme iron is enhanced efficiently. Nonheme iron is not so readily absorbed by the human body and is found in certain food items such as rice, fortified cereal, soybeans, black beans, etc. Hence, squeezing lemon on your spinach, or eating black beans in a burrito along with salsa that is rich in Vitamin C is a good choice.

Prepare your food in such a way so that maximum nutrients are absorbed. Certain food habits and lifestyle is believed to adversely affect the procedure of absorbing nutrients. Moreover, do not follow a diet that is very low in fat, or else the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins is limited.
