Did you know...../Sabes que....


Cooking tomatoes allows the antioxidant lycopene, to be better absorbed by your body?/El cocinar de tomates deja que el antioxidante lycopene sea absorbido mejor en el cuerpo.

Eating lime with corn makes the niacin in corn available to your body to absorb?/El comer el limón verde con maíz hace que la niacina en el maíz se absorba mejor en el cuerpo.

Cooking carrots makes the beta- carotene, another form of antioxidant, more available to your body?/El cocinar de la zanahoria hace que el antioxidante beta carotene mas disponible al cuerpo.

Eating foods high in Vitamin C, like oranges and pineapple, with spinach, which is high in iron allows more of the iron to be absorbed by your body?/El comer de comida que tiene mucha vitamina "C" (como naranja y piña) junto con la espinaca (que tiene mucho hierro) deja que mas del hierro se absorba por su cuerpo.
