Why you should use mineral water for cooking vegetables:

Vegetables are very beneficial for health. They contain a lot of fibre, vitamins, and useful microelements. To use all their beneficial properties, vegetables should be properly prepared. One of the main secrets is the use of mineral water.

The use of mineral water allows you to preserve potassium, which is very important for proper organism functioning. Studies have shown that using mineral water enriches vegetable dishes with microelements, salts, and biologically active components. Mineral water contains a lot of sodium, magnesium, sulfates, and chlorides, which are important for life.

Thanks to this secret, vegetables come out crispy and appetizing, they do not lose their bright colours. On the plate, vegetables prepared in this way look very tasty.

Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption is ‘equivalent to walking 4,000 extra steps a day’:

New research suggests that eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains could be as good for your heart as walking 4,000 extra steps a day. The study was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. It aimed to explore the impact that consuming these foods had on physical health.

Participants in the study completed a Harvard semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire so that their dietary habits could be assessed. They also completed a high-intensity fitness assessment, which involved having their oxygen consumption measured while they rode an exercise bike.

“This study provides some of the strongest and most rigorous data thus far to support the connection that better diets may lead to higher fitness,” said study author Michael Mi of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in a statement. “The improvement in fitness we observed in participants with better diets was similar to the effect of taking 4,000 more steps each day.

Agricultural drones addressing labor shortages on farms.
More and more farmers are applying for our agricultural Drone spraying services to the cultivation of their crops. With the advantage of fully autonomous and precise operation, our drones have become more widely used on farms, replacing knapsack. The drones help address labor shortages, time spent and make for the reduction on agricultural input.

As a leading agri-tech/food supply chain company, farmers connect sees the potential of unmanned drones in Ghana's fruit and vegetables industry amid the shrinking agricultural workforce.
