Also, if the smoothies or blended drinks are left out for a long, their vitamin c levels may also get down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also best practice to use frozen fruit for blending because freezing can retain vitamins in food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_blending_destroy_probiotics\"><\/span>Does blending destroy probiotics?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-34769741-6731-4b14-8db5-2aa1de6867a0\"><strong>Blending food does not destroy these probiotics.<\/strong> The probiotics are teensy organisms that are unable to see through the naked eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-34769741-6731-4b14-8db5-2aa1de6867a0\"><strong>Blending is a mechanical process that crushes food at a higher level.

Vitamix blenders also produce friction heat when run for long so the heating could cause enzymes to lose their structural properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular blenders which do not heat food when blending do not destroy enzymes. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_blending_protein_powder_destroy_it\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">Does blending protein powder destroy it?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proteins are complex compounds that are made from the chaining of molecules called amino acids. Totally destroying protein can be something very difficult (Technically). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, <strong>exposing proteins to extreme mechanical or thermal conditions can destroy their structure<\/strong>. Destroying the structure of a protein is also referred to as &#8220;protein denaturation&#8221;. Very high-speed blenders which are able to heat ingredients inside such as Vitamix may denature the protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They still contain the same molecules and they still are proteins but their physical structure becomes different. A simple example of this phenomenon is cooking eggs. A raw egg white has protein. When you cook the egg white, the molecular structure of protein inside the egg white changes and they convert from transparent liquid to opaque solid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same happens if you blend them in the blender, the protein structure may denature with high mechanical agitation and thus lose its original shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/do-blenders-destroy-nutrients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blending does not Destroy protein<\/a> but it may or may not denature them depending on their speed and ability to heat ingredients.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High temperature, acidity, or other chemical activity can denature the structure and properties of proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, proteins are coiled helix structures and have their biological activity. When exposed to chemical or physical change, protein powder loses its activity and uncoils the helix structure. This is when we say the proteins are destroyed or denatured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our body destroys proteins and breaks them into components called amino acids. These amino acids are the nutrition that we get from proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Vitamix_destroy_nutrients\"><\/span>Does Vitamix destroy nutrients?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Vitamix blender heats up ingredients by friction.

So, it is safe to blend food without worrying about the loss of nutrients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand. <strong>Juicing vegetables or fruits decreases<\/strong> the nutritional value of whole ingredients by separating<strong> pulp and pith<\/strong> from the juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_blender_do_to_food\"><\/span>What does a blender do to food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why blenders prevent destroying the nutrition of a particular food lies in the process of blending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there is no filtering in a blender, it reproduces everything (nutrients) you put into it. No component such as pulp or fibre etc. from the whole food is wasted or removed. You get everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending also helps break down food for easy digestion. Blenders break tougher food items such as nuts and seeds used in smoothies and obtain fibre and oil content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps the stomach to do extra work of breaking down tough foods. People who do not chew vegetables or fruits properly can also find blended foods healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending is the best alternative to add complete nutrition of healthy green foods in your meal and will also help you in weight loss and healthier skin.
