Let By Doris Thomas Lancaster Extension Home Economist means the kitchen will not heat up either. Because little or no water is needed in microwave cookery, water-soluble vitamins are retained. Frozen fruits and veget ables keep their bright colors and fresh flavors when cooked in a microwave. After dinner clean-up also becomes less of a chore with a microwave oven. Food spatters do not bake on, so both cooking uten sils and the oven can be wiped clean easily. In addition, many fro zen foods can be cooked right in their containers. Plastic food pouches need only to be slit or punctured to let the steam escape. Other frozen foods are packed in oven-ready containers which can also be used in conventional ovens.

Don’t Become Dehydrated Many people enjoy outdoor activities in the winter: skiing, sled riding, snow mobiling, even taking walks after a freshly fallen snow. But many people do not realize that you can easily become dehy drated when you are out in the cold. Sixty percent of your body weight is water. Water’s main function is to carry nutrients from the food you digest into your body, but it also serves as a lubricant, helps control body temperature, and carries waste out of the body. Most people know that you lose body water through sweating and urinating, but you also lose it through your lungs, which is why you can become dehydrated on winter days. You lose eight to 10 cups of water every day, and you have to replace it. You can get water from a variety of foods and liquids, but some are better sources than others.

If you drink coffee or tea in the morning, concentrate on drinking water for the rest of the day. If you have never tried sparkling water, give it a try.
