And thus we reduce to zero all their useful properties.
We have all known for a long time that there are incompatible products that cannot be combined in one plate. Yes, potatoes have no place next to meat, and cucumbers – with tomatoes. However, there are healthy foods that we manage to cook incorrectly. Therefore, they do not bring anything useful to our body – only empty calories.
1. Faapaologa
The alpha and omega of any zookeeper. 80 grams for breakfast – and the body is healthy, happy and provided with slow energy, which will allow you to calmly hold out until lunch, without suffering from hunger. But! If you pour no less excellent milk into a fine buckwheat, we will spoil both. The fact is that buckwheat is an excellent supplier of iron, and milk is an excellent supplier of calcium. But only separately from each other. When we eat both together, iron and calcium interfere with each other’s absorption.
2. Meaʻai
Well, it’s hard to spoil it when cooking. Unless, of course, you do not fry the fatty brisket in oil – in this case, the body receives a vigorous dose of cholesterol and calories. But there is one more subtlety. Meat should be eaten during the day, and not at night, although protein foods are recommended for dinner. The fact is that meat overloads the digestive system, which leads to insomnia. But the turkey does exactly the opposite: its protein contains relaxing substances from which you will sleep like a baby.
3. Pateta
Healthy lifestyle fans do not really like potatoes. More precisely, they love, but pretend not. So, baked potatoes can be eaten even by those who are constantly in fitness. But it’s important to do it right. Namely – along with the peel. The fact is that potatoes contain a lot of potassium, iron, phosphorus and vitamin C. For the most part, they are found in the peel. So it’s better to just wash the potatoes properly. Especially when it comes to young potatoes.
4 Kiwi
We also clean it. There are even whole tutorials on how to remove the fluffy rind from a kiwi without splashing yourself and everything within reach. Better not to do this at all. If you eat kiwi with the peel, we get three times more fiber and antioxidants for which this fruit is so prized. In addition, the substances contained in the kiwi peel are able to cope with staphylococcus and E. coli. Can you imagine what kind of power goes to the trash can?
5. Karoti
Crunching with fresh carrot straws is a favorite snack for those who are losing weight. However, raw carrots are nowhere near as healthy as cooked carrots. Beta-carotene and lutein are one of the few substances that do not break down under the influence of temperature, but only become prettier. Let us remind you that both carotene and lutein are very useful for youthful skin. And from stewed or boiled carrots, the body absorbs them five times more successfully than from raw carrots.
6. Maamoa
Fried eggplants – for sure, after all, my mother cooked such a dish. It is, of course, tasty, but completely unhealthy. Eggplants absorb oil like a sponge and are more calories than any burger. But this vegetable is a storehouse of everything useful, we counted a dozen reasons to fall in love with eggplants. The healthiest way to cook them is to grill them. So they increase the concentration of potassium, a trace element – “vitamin” for the heart. In addition, the process reduces the amount of nitrates and nitrites in the eggplant.
7. Alaisa
It’s simple – don’t eat rice at night. And if you are losing weight, then do not eat at all, in any case, white rice. Powerlifters say there are so many carbohydrates in rice that pasta has never been around. In other words, it is the best natural gainer. But rice porridge for breakfast will not do much harm to the figure. The body will have plenty of time to deal with all the “rice” calories.
8. Asparako
Every girl knows: steam asparagus. But no, don’t, pull it back out of the steamer. In fact, you need to cook asparagus in a wok. Or in a saucepan, a thick-walled skillet – but not for a couple. Fast frying (5-7 minutes) will save much more vitamins and antioxidants than steaming. By the way, asparagus is a valuable source of vitamin C, which evaporates while the product is tossed in a double boiler.
9. Kapisi
Stewed, this is a wonderful dish, light, tasty and satisfying. It is absolutely irreplaceable ingredient in borscht. However, this is exactly the case when heat treatment only harms the product. The healthiest cabbage is sauerkraut. Or, as it is called in the West, fermented. In the process of fermentation, the content of vitamin C in cabbage increases and lactic acid is formed, which helps the body to assimilate protein. That is, the best company for sauerkraut is a steak.
10. Ata
With a light movement, we pass it through a press and add to meat, vegetables and soups. And we are wrong. Garlic contains the valuable substance allicin, which slows down the development of cancer cells, has an antioxidant effect, fights microbes and strengthens the immune system. Allicin is formed by mixing two enzymes found in garlic. They are released when we chop or crush garlic. They need time to synthesize. Therefore, you should not immediately throw the garlic into the pan, you need to wait 5-10 minutes for allicin to be synthesized.
11. Lulu
Almost the same story as with buckwheat: bran (or bran flakes) cannot be mixed with milk. Calcium and magnesium contained in milk, in combination with phytic acid from bran, form a compound that cannot be absorbed by the human body. Phytic acid – God be with her, it is not useful. But calcium and magnesium are a shame for them. Therefore, it is better to fill the bran with water. This will give you your fiber. Well, drink milk separately.
12. Tato
Fresh tomatoes are delicious. But stewed tomatoes are healthier. Yes, vitamin C will be destroyed in them. But the content of lycopene will increase. As a reminder, it is a powerful antioxidant with anti-cancer properties and very useful in terms of maintaining youthful skin and hair. In addition, lycopene is useful in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and inflammation of all kinds.
13. Maukeni
Most of us are familiar with pumpkin porridge. They put it there peeled, without seeds and peels. But it is in the peel that the highest concentration of vitamin C, minerals and dietary fiber is. Therefore, the maximum benefit from the pumpkin can be obtained by baking it in slices in the oven along with the peel, adding a drop of honey.
14. Ti
Do you still drink milk tea? No, then we are not going to you. Black tea is actually very healthy. The substances it contains are good for the health of the cardiovascular system. But if you add milk to tea, then the protein completely destroys these substances. And you just get a drink – without any benefit.
