Autumn is the best time for amateurs of vegetables. Eat plenty of them because they protect against disease and overweight. Instead of the immortal trio - potatoes, meat, salad - we recommend a vegetable dish for dinner, for example zucchini stew or baked aubergine.
Nutritionists never tire of convincing you that fruit andvegetablesmust be eaten 5 times a day. While some people do it with fruit (including juices), it is more difficult with vegetables. Easier to eat an apple thanpaprika- requires cleaning of seeds - oreggplantthat needs to be boiled.
But vegetables have one important advantage over fruit: they are much less caloric! They do not contain so much fructose that promotes overweight. However, a solid portion of vitamins and fiber has a positive effect on digestion and allows you to keep a slim figure.
Vegetable dishes
Vegetables are perfect not only as an ingredient of soups and an addition to the main course. They can be a separate dish. Such a dinner will be easily digestible and low in calories. And how attractive it looks!
Do you know that vegetables like:
» Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which reduces the risk of heart disease and protects against cancer. There is more of it in processed food than in fresh!
» Eggplant lowers the level of bad cholesterol, contains substances that neutralize the harmful effects of cholesterol-rich ingredients (meat, cheese).
» The paprika pod covers the daily requirement for vitamin C. It does not die at high temperatures (there is no enzyme that breaks down this vitamin). Red and yellow are more valuable than green.
» Small courgettes, up to 20 cm long, are the richest in beta-carotene, folic acid, and vitamin C. They do not need to be peeled.
» The mixture of vitamins with the addition of olive oil (can also be rapeseed oil) provides valuable fatty acids.
