We often hear that almonds, pistachios, walnuts, or other kinds of nuts are best for us because of particular nutrients they contain. In fact, this is marketing hype. So go for whatever types you like, but pay attention to portion sizes.

Not necessarily. It depends on the veggie, the nutrient, and the cooking method. For example, cooking tomatoes releases more of the antioxidant lycopene and helps the body better absorb it. Cooking carrots and peppers can increase levels of certain antioxidants. On the other hand, cooking can destroy vitamin C. To preserve nutrients, use methods such as steaming or microwaving, which minimize heat and cooking time.

Mittens are more effective because they keep your fingers together, which generates more heat. But mittens can obviously be a problem if you need to use your fingers. In that case, try wearing two pairs of gloves or use heated ones.
