Do you ever wonder what impact cooking has on the nutrients in your food? After all, if your take the time to make a home-cooked meal, you’ll want to get all the health benefits you can. Here’s some health news that you’ll want to consider before you make that next meal: some cooking methods are more nutrient-friendly than others, according to Spanish researchers.

The researchers, from the Department of Food Science at the University of Murcia, studied the influence of home-cooking methods on the antioxidant activity of vegetables. They covered all the standard cooking methods, which included boiling, microwaving, pressure-cooking, griddling, frying, and baking.

The research team made some interesting discoveries. Artichoke, they found, was the only vegetable that kept its very high free-radical scavenging capacity in all the cooking methods. At the other end of the scale was cauliflower, registering the highest losses of scavenging capacity after boiling and microwaving. Other vegetables high on the nutrients-lost list included peas after boiling, and zucchini after boiling and frying.

Beetroot, green beans, and garlic all did well — according to the research team, they kept their antioxidant activity after most cooking treatments. Swiss chard and pepper, on the other hand, lost scavenging capacity in all the processes. Celery was somewhat unique in that it increased its antioxidant capacity in all the cooking methods, except boiling, when it lost 14%.

The highest losses in all cooking methods occurred in garlic, although microwaving helped to preserve some antioxidant capacity. Green beans, celery, and carrot increased antioxidant power after all cooking methods (except green beans and celery after boiling). However, these three types of vegetables showed a low free-radical scavenging capacity in general compared to some of the other vegetables.

So what is the best cooking method to preserve the antioxidant power of your favorite vegetables? According to the researchers, griddling, microwave cooking, and baking alternately produce the lowest losses, while pressure-cooking and boiling lead to the greatest losses. Frying, it seems, straddled the middle ground when it came to antioxidant loss — not the worst cooking method, or the best either.

You can follow the researchers’ health advice that water is not the best method for cooking vegetables if you want a maximum dose of antioxidants and other nutrients. Try baking or using the microwave in a pinch to boost your nutritional health.

The Vegetable That Could Prevent Colon Cancer

Are you the skeptical type? Do like to have solid, definitive proof before believing in something? Well — how about this latest health news about a food that could actually prevent cancer? Researchers have found that broccoli is 95% lethal against colon cancer cells.

Colon cancer usually takes hold in the large intestine or the rectum. Although it is considered one of the leading causes of death when compared with other forms of cancer, if diagnosed early, it can often be completely cured. Colon cancer starts to grow in glands in the lining of your colon and rectum. Doctors often refer to this type of cancer as “colorectal cancer.” You can be at a higher risk for colon cancer if you eat a diet high in red or processed meats, already have cancer somewhere else, have inflammatory bowel disease, or have a family history of colon cancer.

When it comes to treating and preventing the disease, diet may play a key role. Everything you eat likely makes its way to the colon eventually. The more healthy food you digest, the less chance there is for toxins and other unhealthy substances to cause negative genetic changes in your colon cells. This is exactly why you’ll want to add broccoli to your diet on a regular basis.

In one recent clinical trial, scientists studied the effects of a broccoli extract on different human cancer cell lines. The scientists found that broccoli specifically excelled in its performance against colon cancer cells. In fact, the tasty vegetable showed 95% lethality when attacking the cancer cells! It would be hard to argue that broccoli shouldn’t be considered a natural cancer cure after a performance like that.

Broccoli’s health benefits don’t stop with cancer-prevention. The veggie is also thought to have strong anti-inflammatory properties and may be useful in the treatment against arthritis.
