By now, most people know they should eat more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? Research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s nọt only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, which decides how many vitamins (维他命) and other nutrients (营养) enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have fewer illnesses and eye problems. But raw (生的) vegetables are not always the best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who ate raw food were short of lycopene (番茄红素), which is found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University.
“For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.” A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is the best.
Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways. Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying (炒) was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important. When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things can also make them taste better. For example, a little salt can make the food taste better.

In daily life, we need to go and buy food. Before we go shopping, making a list is a good idea. Some people don’t like to make a shopping list because it takes time. However, there are many reasons why we should make one.
________ When we write the list, we should put the things in different groups. For example, we could write down all the fruit and vegetables in one column (栏). In the next column, we could write down all the meat. Do the same for other food. Keeping our list organized will help us shop faster.
A shopping list helps us not to forget anything. We wouldn’t want to get home from the store and find we forget to buy something we need. A shopping list helps us to remember everything we want to buy.
A shopping list can also help us to save money. We might buy much milk as we think we don’t have any. But when we get home, we would see we already have a full bottle of milk. Then the extra milk might go to waste. If we make a list, we’ll not buy the things we don’t need.
Although it’ll take us a few minutes to make a shopping list, it’s worth our time.
