RE: Re: , yoga, and recipes

[Guest guest]

First Geoff: a belated welcome to the group!! We discuss exercise often

and consider it a related on topic subject; you can search the archives on

the home page for many past threads on that subject. If you want to bring

up anything really off-topic, just put " off-topic " in the subject line

along with the subject of your post.

I have been experimenting with freezing vegetables that I use in recipes rather than cooking them... I get similar texture to cooking but with more of a fresh (uncooked flavor). I am hopeful but have no evidence that freezing breaks down cellular walls and makes nutrients more bio-available...

I had to smile a bit reading this because I get this image of no longer chewing, but drinking my meals instead--salad mush rather than salad. I suppose chewing one's food very thoroughly could bring you to the same place. I don't doubt you are correct about this increasing the absorption, but does this bring it up to the level of cooked vegetables?I had read about the reduction in vitamin C before, but not about the destruction of fiber. So thanks for that.

It is likely to have much less vitamin C -> for example.
