The Skinny on Vegetables – Do I have to eat them raw or steamed??

No way! All things equal (meaning ideally your veggies are organic – fresh or frozen), eating vegetables with some fat help us absorb the PHYTONUTRIENTS (means plant-based nutrients, antioxidants) better. WHY? Many of these nutrients are fat soluble. So if you want to have raw or steamed, make sure to have some healthy fat at your meal (avocado, olives, chia seeds, nuts, flaxseed, hempseed and olive oil etc) or go ahead and use an appropriate amount of oil to sautee, bake, or stir fry your veggies.
