Why using a microwave oven forces you to take a vitamin supplement, an antioxidant supplement and replenish your phytonutrients is plain and simple.
May 20, 2010
What a microwave does to the foods you are heating is essentially rendering such foods less beneficial to your body and can even lead to the complete elimination of some essential vitamins.
For instance, when you heat up milk in a microwave it literally can eliminate 100% of the vitamin B12, broccoli can easily lose up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants, garlic after a minute in the microwave had its allinase become inactive and this is garlic’s principle active ingredient against cancer, asparagus spears lost a lot of its vitamin C after microwaving them, and many more examples have been documented.
What does this mean? Briefly, it implies that if you use a microwave to heat up your food you need to also be ingesting a vitamin supplement and antioxidant supplement and also giving your body the phytonutrients it is now lacking. The vitamin supplement will enable you to get the vitamins your body needs which were reduced or rendered inactive by your microwave oven. You, like most of us, should be consuming your green vegetables because of the antioxidant benefits they have but if you microwave them instead of steaming them the antioxidants you thought you were consuming have become essentially inactive. Microwaves however are not the only reasons for why vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients are not as prominent in the vegetables and fruits we eat – another reason is that the quality of fresh food has declined because of the soil’s depletion of essential minerals, mass production of crops and the obvious use of herbicides and pesticides. In summary, if you think that you’re getting all the minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients by eating several different freshly picked produce you are not – even if you are eating the organic ones; if you microwave them on top of this you are getting even less of a benefit if any at all. Being that we now live in a convenience lifestyle, we now need a vitamin supplement, an antioxidant supplement and replenish our phytonutrients. If you microwave your food, you are getting something, and I will share this with you very soon and it’s not something you want to miss.
