Having corn on the cob with dinner? Adding a little butter will
increase the level of nutrients your body will absorb. Having a salad for
lunch? Adding full-fat salad dressing will have the same effect.
Some people avoid fat at all costs. But is that the best thing to do?
Many of the healthful compounds in vegetables are fat-soluble. That
means your body can’t absorb them very well unless fat is present at the
same time.
Researchers at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
in Columbus checked for nutrients that were especially important for
cancer prevention. Some of the affected nutrients:
Lutein and zeaxanthin found in spinach and kale are important for eye
and heart health. Lycopene, the red carotenoid found in tomatoes and
watermelon, is a potential cancer fighter. Alpha and beta carotene, the
orange pigment in carrots and cantaloupe, help to reduce cancer rates.
Vitamin E found in mango, broccoli, and spinach is a powerful
antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body that cause tissue and
cellular damage.
When some avocado was added to salads, blood tests showed the
absorption of lutein was 18 times greater than without the fatty avocado.
Absorption of lycopene increased by 4.4 times, and the increase in beta
carotene absorption was 2.6 times.
Fortunately, the amount of fat in the entire meal can aid nutrient
absorption. Nutritionists say you should choose at least one food per meal
with a high fat content. That means if you have a small steak or
hamburger with dinner, you’ll be fine.
