News5 Vegetables That Are Healthier When Cooked
Raw food diets have gotten popular over the last little while, but not everything is healthier for you when eaten raw. Here are five vegetables that are actually more nutritious when you eat them when cooked. Mushrooms Mushrooms contain large amounts of the antioxidant ergothioneine, which is released during cooking. Antioxidants help break down chemicals that can damage our cells, causing illness or aging. Tomatoes Cooking increases the amount of the antioxidant lycopene contained in Tomatoes. Lycopene has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease and cancer. Asparagus Cooking asparagus breaks down its cell walls, making it easier for you to absorb vitamins A, B9, C and E from it. Carrots Cooked carrots contain more beta-carotene than raw carrots, which the body converts to vitamin A. Spinach The iron, magnesium, calcium and zinc in spinach can be more easily absorbed when the spinach is cooked.
NewsHow To Get Rid Of Slugs In Your Garden
If you live in an area with a lot of slugs, you know how much damage they can cause to your garden. Here are some things you can do to keep them away from your plants and vegetables. Use Copper As A Deterrent You can deter slugs from entering your garden by using copper tape, copper mesh, or copper rings. The slime layer on the outside of a slug’s body generates a mild shock when it comes in contact with copper. Use Beer As Slug Bait Beer traps are a common way of dealing with slugs and simply involve pouring beer into a plastic lid. The idea is that slugs will be attracted to the beer and then fall into the trap and drown. However, some say this method actually attracts more slugs to your garden than it keeps out. Attract Birds To Your Garden Birds love to eat slugs, so try to attract some of these helpful predators by setting up some bird feeders.
