Some dishes should only be eaten hot, nutritionists say.
We tell you what is healthier to eat warm and what is healthier to eat cold.
What should be eaten warm and what cold
It is better to eat meat, eggs, fish and other protein products hot, as they are better absorbed this way.
It is also useful to eat carrots, cabbage and tomatoes hot.
Thermal processing of cabbage and carrots improves the absorption of microelements and antioxidants from them.
When tomatoes are heat treated, the antioxidant lycopene is released, which protects cells from damage and reduces the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
It is healthier to eat boiled potatoes cold. The starch in chilled potatoes is more stable and breaks down more slowly, which reduces the load on the pancreas.
It is also recommended to eat leafy green vegetables and flax seeds cold.
