Being a former chef and having taken food science course through a night school course, to a degree there values diminish, but they only really lose the nutritional components when cooked, that is why the quicker you cook something or are able to eat them raw, you are able to benefit from all the factors.
That is why I would either steam or stir fry you vegetables, and for those you do not like them, I try to liven them up, spices, seasonings, honey and herbs. I always had kudos when using carrots with orange juice and zest, a touch of honey and fresh dill, somes even this kind of effort will get the pickiest child and adult, especially men who are blatant veggie scimpers.
If you overcook things to you affect the values, so if you can find away that everyone your serving can agree on, that makes it easier, in the restaurants I worked in Canada, Jamaica and Singapore, I tried to make them interesting and even if they did not eat them all they at least tasted them, and a variety does help to, as a diet of the same types can make people turn off to them quicker.
