SINGAPORE — We all want to be diligent about keeping our diets healthy, but many of us may be missing out on the natural benefits of food because they aren't prepared properly.
Here then, are five tips you can practise to make sure you get the most out of what you eat:
1. GRIND YOUR FLAXSEED.
2. STEAM YOUR BROCCOLI.
3. DRINK TEH-O.
4. CRUSH, NOT CHOP, GARLIC.
Yes, many recipes call for you to chop garlic, but next time, instead of doing so, crush it and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before you start cooking. This helps to release an enzyme within the garlic, called allicin. This enzyme is the one that reduces the risk of heart disease and boosts blood circulation by acting as a blood thinner.
5. SOAK BROWN RICE AND WHOLE GRAINS BEFORE COOKING THEM.
