I often get questions about how to prepare certain foods to maximize their benefits, so I love when I can bring you videos like this one and Best Way to Cook Vegetables. I have a few more on optimum cooking methods, too. Check out:

Just remember that anyone who eats cups a day (as they should!) of dark green leafy vegetables should probably stick to lowoxalate greens (i.e. basically any greens other than spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens) to avoid the risk of kidney stones. I’ve got videos coming up on this here (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/kid...) as well as what happens when you pressure cook greens (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does....
