The Benefits
- Nuts – Roasted nuts are bereaved of their healthy fats, instead replaced with free radicals that harm the body. Roasted nuts can increase plaque build-up as well as heighten the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Broccoli – Once streamed, broccoli loses almost two-thirds of its cancer-fighting compounds. Fully cooking broccoli eliminates all of these enzymes, leaving it with little-to-no nutritional value.
- Cacao Bean – The oils and fats in the cocoa bean become toxic when exposed to high temperatures. Add sugar, dairy, and other additives, and you have chocolate – a very unhealthy concoction.
- Consume twice the iron as non-vegetarians would
- Eat eight or more servings of calcium rich foods
- Look for cereals, yeasts, and milk with fortified B12
- Take omega-3 supplements
