Each group vitamin is sensitive to one or more of these variables, so if the monitor and prevent the destruction of the vitamins we will be increasing the quality of the food we eat every day.

Some tips to conserve the vitamins from food

Vitamin C is one of the most sensitive to three variables. An example is a green vegetable that contains this nutrient in large amounts, if we keep at room temperature lost nearly 35% of vitamin C while cold can only lose up to 10%. The same is true of folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12, which are highly sensitive to three variables.

By contrast, vitamins B1, B3 and biotin are insensitive to light and oxidation. Although it is rare that the food contains only a group vitamin. That is why for more vitamins in foods should avoid those who are at risk of having been too long in contact with light, air and temperature have changed in their conservation.

Another way to increase the intake of vitamins is to eat fruits and vegetables with skin, as long as possible. The highest concentrations were found in vitamin skin.
