Health Tip of the Day
How to Boost Your Veggie Volume
-
Think creatively. Go beyond lettuce, tomato and onion in a sandwich; try adding pepper strips, cucumbers or carrot curls.
-
Go for variety. Use different colors of vegetables to ensure you get all the vitamins and minerals -- and it also heads off boredom.
-
Choose vegetables for the meal first. Then add meat and grains.
-
Don't fixate on freshness, but realize that fresh is best, followed by frozen and then canned.
-
Use it, don't lose it. Don't overcook vegetables. If you cook vegetables in water, the water-soluble vitamins go into the water. Save the water and use it as the base of a broth.
-
Eat the whole thing. Buy vegetables with as much of the plant intact as possible.
