12 eating habits to change to protect your health

You should not eat beef or high protein meats in the evening:

The reason is that the amount of protein consumed in the evening will overload the body's organs to digest it, making you feel indigestion and have difficulty falling asleep.

Do not peel potatoes:

The most nutritious part of potatoes is potassium, iron, phosphorus and vitamin C, which are mainly contained in the skin. You just need to wash the skin, soak it, then bake or stew it. An important note is that if the skin of the potato turns green, it may be contaminated with some toxic substances. In this case, you should peel it, or, more safely, eat another potato.

Do not peel kiwi:

We can get more than 3 times more fiber and antioxidants and substances that help kill staphylococcus and E.coli bacteria that cause digestive diseases just by eating the kiwi skin.

Should eat cooked carrots:

Boiled carrots are rich in beta-carotene and lutein which are good for your eyesight and they also make your skin look younger. Cooking carrots helps your body absorb them 5 times better than eating them raw.

Eggplant should be grilled:

Potassium levels increase during the roasting process, while nitrate and nitrite levels decrease. Roasting eggplants are more nutritious than frying or sautéing.

Do not eat rice at night:

Rice provides a lot of calories for the body. Eating rice during the day gives the body enough time to digest and burn the calories. Meanwhile, eating rice at night will make you fat faster and is also not good for the digestive system.

Asparagus should not be steamed:

Frying asparagus for 5-7 minutes will preserve more vitamins and antioxidants than steaming or boiling them. Not to mention, the valuable vitamin C in asparagus will dissolve in the water when steamed.

Cabbage should not be boiled:

Carotene and antioxidants in cabbage disappear when boiled. But when cabbage is salted, the vitamin C content increases, which helps the body digest protein. Many people only need a spoonful of sauerkraut a day to get enough vitamins because it is rich in phosphorus, potassium, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin K and even probiotics.

Do not add garlic to food immediately after slicing:

A powerful component of garlic called allicin is formed when garlic is chopped or chopped. It has anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and immune-boosting properties. But this process takes a while to take effect, so it is best to wait about 5-10 minutes after chopping or crushing before adding garlic to a dish.

Should eat stewed tomatoes:

Although we lose some vitamin C when stewing tomatoes, this can increase the content of lycopene. This is the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color, which acts as the most powerful antioxidant, helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer and inflammation.

Do not peel the pumpkin:

Pumpkin skin contains some minerals, fiber and vitamin C so it would be a waste to throw away this valuable part when peeling.

Do not drink black tea with milk:

Scientists have found that casein - proteins found in milk - inhibits the health benefits of tea. Drinking black tea without milk has a positive effect on the function of the cardiovascular system.
