Named a blunder when cooking potatoes

One of the blunders during cooking, which loses most of the nutrients, is the fact that potatoes are put in cold water. The correct solution is to put raw potatoes in boiling water and salt them only when they become soft, reports Wirtualna Polska.

At the same time, many experts advise potatoes to be boiled in their skins. This way the product will be as useful as possible. If you are cooking a vegetable for mashing, then it is recommended to pre-cut it into small pieces in order to reduce the heat treatment time.

It is noted that it is better not to eat potatoes hot - let it cool to room temperature. This will help convert some of the starch into the so-called retrograde starch - its stable form, and the blood glucose level will not jump as much as a result. It is optimal to eat potatoes cold, for example, in a vinaigrette.

Previously, a cardiologist, candidate of medical sciences, head of the Center for Sleep Medicine of the Medical Research and Education Center of Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov Alexander Kalinkin spoke about the common symptoms associated with iron deficiency - a record number of patients have recently turned to doctors with such a problem. So, the lack of iron is most often indicated by endless fatigue, weakness and fatigue, which persist even after a vacation or weekend. An analysis of the level of hemoglobin in the blood (usually it is prescribed in the first place) is far from always able to help diagnose the problem.

"For reliable data, other laboratory tests are required. In particular, the determination of the level of ferritin," the doctor said.
