Problems you should be careful about in summer salad

First: eating tomatoes and carrots raw wastes nutrition. Lycopene in tomatoes and β - carotene in carrots are fat soluble nutrients, which can be easily absorbed by the human body after being fried with oil, so as to give full play to its health care effect. Tomato is rich in antioxidant lycopene, which can effectively prevent arteriosclerosis and reduce the risk of heart disease. Compared with raw tomatoes, lycopene in boiled tomatoes is more easily absorbed by human body. Peng Jing, director of the Department of nutrition, School of tourism and cuisine, Yangzhou University, said carrots are rich in β - carotene, which can protect eyesight, moisten skin and improve immunity. Cooked carrots, and when cooking in contact with oil, beta carotene can be absorbed by the human body to the greatest extent. Eating raw will waste nutrition, and juicing is not recommended, which will waste healthy dietary fiber.

Second: yam, Cymbidium peanuts are not easy to digest. Professor Ma Liping, vice president of Guangxi nutrition society, suggested that vegetables with more starch, such as potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and taros, should not be eaten raw. These foods are eaten raw. Not only the starch and other nutrients are not easy to be digested by the human body, but also make people have abdominal distension and other discomfort. Broccoli, cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables, rich in dietary fiber, cooked to eat not only taste better, the human body is easier to digest.

Third: spinach, water spinach, bamboo shoots, water bamboo and other vegetables with more oxalic acid. It's best to remove most oxalic acid with blanching water before cold mixing, because oxalic acid combines with calcium in the intestine to form calcium oxalate which is difficult to absorb and interferes with the absorption of calcium by the human body.
