Explanation / Answer

1.The best way to preserve the vitamin content of the summer squash is steaming the squash slices for a few minutes,because steaming and microwaving use little water and hence the loss of nutrient is less.Cooking a vegetable in large amount of water causes loss of nutrients as the water takes away the nutrient with it and is poured in the drain.

2. The best option for Alice is checking with her doctor to see if she needs to take a vitamin after she has some lab work done,because taking the multivitamin without a doctor's prescription is over the counter and it may result in some harmful side effects .Without Doctor's prescription we should not take any medicine because it depends on the requirement if we have to take the medicine or not and this is decided by the Dr. depending upon the lab studies ,the sign and symptoms.
