Many think that fresh is best when it comes to fruit and vegetables. But in recent times this belief has been proved wrong more than a few times.
The most recent: The content of an “anti-cancer” nutrient increases when carrots are boiled whole.
However, the real kicker regarding this type of information is actually the importance of simply eating carrots – full stop! People who eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day are less likely to get a whole plethora of diseases – including many cancers.
What do you do everyday to ensure you get 5+ servings of fruit and vegetables?
If you answer “not a lot”, then perhaps you could try taking a carrot to work/school/bridge club.
Boil it if you feel the need.
