Reason: Antioxidants may be enhanced when some vegetables are cooked. For example, in a 2008 study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers found cooking carrots actually increases their nutritional value. Boiling carrots led carotenoids (antioxidants) to increase by 14 percent, while other cooking methods, especially frying, led to a decrease in antioxidant value.

The Past
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The debt is paid,
The verdict said,
The Furies laid,
The plague is stayed.
All fortunes made;
Turn the key and bolt the door,
Sweet is death forevermore.
Nor haughty hope, nor swart chagrin,
Nor murdering hate, can enter in.
All is now secure and fast;
Not the gods can shake the Past;
Flies-to the adamantine door
Bolted down forevermore.
None can reënter there,—
No thief so politic,
No Satan with a royal trick
Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal Fact.

Joe: “I told her, that’s one more thing my wife and she have in common.”
I can’t wait to go on a trip, but I won’t let COVID-19 get me down. I can sit down, close my eyes and go anywhere on our beautiful planet in a matter of seconds. My imagination will create beautiful scenes and experiences. As research tells us, our bodies will react as if we are actually living this experience. Go on, take an imaginary trip.
