Frozen fruit and vegetables can be healthier, with higher levels of vitamins and cancer fighting antioxidants (抗氧化剂), than leafy “fresh” produce. Two independent studies found more beneficial nutrients in everything from frozen broccoli florets (西兰花) to carrots. In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetables scored better on antioxidant-type compounds(化合物). Consumption of these antioxidant compounds is considered beneficial in preventing cancer and supporting the working of the body, brain, skin and eyes.

Produce bought from the supermarket greengrocer sections is full of color, while many stores even use fine mist sprays (喷剂)to give a just picked look. Shoppers are misled to pay an extra payment for food that they believe is good for their family’s health as well as being tasty. However, the reality is that these vegetables and fruit may well have been held in storage for a month, while they then sit in the fridge at home for days before being eaten.

Over the days, they gradually deteriorate, slowly losing some of the nutrients associated with leafy greens and fruit. By contrast, frozen vegetables and fruit are chilled(冷藏)soon after harvest and so keep higher levels of vitamins and

antioxidants until they are eaten.

Two teams, one form Leatherhead Food Research and the other from the University of Chester, carried out 40 tests to measure nutrient levels in produce which had been sitting in a fridge for three days and the frozen equivalent (相等物). The findings show that eating newly picked produce is the healthiest option; however, frozen food can be almost as good and is often better than items sold as “fresh”. Leatherhead’s Dr Rachel Burch said: “We must ignore the mistaken opinion that fresh food is always better for us than frozen food.”

These results show that frozen food can be nutritionally comparable to fresh produce. Direct comparison: In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetable scored better on antioxidant-type compounds including Vitamin C, polyphenols and anthocyanins (多酚和花青素), a study found. Her team found frozen broccoli had higher levels of Vitamin C. However, fresh food scored better on polyphenols, which are thought to help prevent cancer.

There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.

He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need
