Luckily, the best methods for cooking foods so they are low in fat are also the best methods for cooking them to preserve their nutri- tional quality. Try some of these tips for preparing foods that will make them both nutritious and tasty. No matter how careful you are with your food, an kind of cooking destroys some nutrients. In fact, as soon as fruits and vegeta- bles are harvested, they begin to lose nutrients that are sensitive to exposure to heat, light, water and. oxy- en, Some nutrients are destroyed and some are leached into the surrounding cooking medium. Thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin C are easily destroyed by heat. But many other vitamins will break down only after exposure to extremely hot temperatures over a long period of time. By the time the food reaches your plate, the total amount of nutrients will depend on several Aactors: its freshness, the si: cut pieces, how it a han- dled before you bought it, how well it was wrapped, how long you cooked it, how much water you cooked it in, and at what teHpeianite you cooked it ‘Regardless of how you cook your food, some basic handling techniques can help you preserve its nutri- tional qualities. If you can’t shop frequently, and fresh produce sits and wilts in your refrigerator, you have lost many of the nutrients before you’ve even begun food. to popular belief, frozen fruits and veg- etables are fresher and retain nutrients better than wilted, improperly handled and pacey stored “fresh” Because exposure to.air “sealed. To avoid major loss- Activity Line ~ Don’t Cook Away Nutrients and oxygen can destroy some vitamins, avoid buy- ing precut produce in the grocery store. Make sure that any cut produce you do buy is well wrapped and es of water-soluble vita- mins, don’t soak fruits or vegetables. The less surface area of food that is exposed to water, the fewer nutrients it will leach. Therefore, it is best to leave foods unpeeled, but scrub them well and cook them whole or in large chunks. Remember that time is of the essence: always cook food as close to servin time as possible to avoid too much exposure to nutrient destroying. Frying exposes foods to very high temperatures for extended time periods and also adds fat. Other forms of cooking are your best bet for low-fat, héalthy dishes. Exposure to high tempera- tures for very short periods of time can cook foods thor- oughly and still preserve their, nutrient integrity. The fastest, as well as: the healthiest, cooking methods for vegetables are stir-fry- steaming and Keep in mind that even though you will lose some nutrients when you handle and prepare food, the amount of vitamins and minerals lost may be insignificant compared with the amount than remains. If you follow these few tips, you can get the most out of the food you buy by keep- ing the fat out and the nutri- ts in. i g Laurie Burns is an Exercise Physiologist and operates Work.
