Yet research shows that most of the food would be more nutritious after cooking, such as carrots, spinach, and tomatoes. The cooking process will help release antioxidants by destroying the cell wall so important substances in vegetables is more easily absorbed by the body.

Here are 7 methods of cooking that are considered the healthiest:

Boil a little water (poaching) is the recommended way to foods such as fish, eggs, or fruits.

5. Burn
It is a method of cooking food directly to the heat or flames in no time. Burning is the recommended way to cook a cut of meat, such as satay.

6. Roast
Grilling is the recommended way to get a taste of the meat stays fresh and soft. But some of the research mentioned cooking methods can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer and cancer payduara. Grilling at high temperatures will produce a chemical reaction between the fat and protein in meat so as to produce a toxin that would destroy the balance of antioxidants in the body. It is known to trigger diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

7. Sauteing
This method only requires little cooking oil. Most of suitable food cooked in this way.

8. Not cooked
