Vitamins and minerals are a vital part of a healthy diet. Each has a different role essential to the normal function of every cell and tissue within the body. We require a full range of necessary vitamins and minerals to keep us alive and well.
When we cook our food, we lose a large portion of these precious gems in various ways:
1. They are carried out in the food’s own juices.
2. They are chemically altered by the heat, rendering them unusable AND toxic to the body.
3. Through the application of the heat they are evaporated out.
Cooking destroys and damages vitamins and minerals. Loss of vitamins and minerals means loss of total health.
