There are no shortcuts to skin care; only consistent maintenance yields satisfactory results. When preparing healthy vegetables, follow these tips:

• Wash Before Cutting: Most nutrients in vegetables are water-soluble. Cutting before washing can cause nutrient loss. Wash first, then cut.

• Prefer Cold Dishes: "Stir-frying" is often the first choice for cooking vegetables. However, high heat and oil during stir-frying can alter their texture and cause rapid vitamin loss. Cold dishes or quick stir-fries are healthier options.
• Store Vegetables Properly: Vegetables are rich in vitamins but can dry out or wilt if stored too long. Prolonged storage can convert nitrate into nitrite, affecting hemoglobin and causing health issues. Avoid freezing and store at moderate temperatures to preserve
