Can you still get nutrients if you cook lettuce or spinach?

So I want to make a salad and stumbled upon this site which gives tips on storing food to gain the most amount of nutrients possible. It mentions this, "DO cook vegetables Cooking vegetables until they’re just tender releases nutrients so that they are absorbed more readily into the body than if the vegetables were eaten raw, says Crum."

So:
1. Is this true?

If so:

2. Could I cook spinach and and lettuce (or just those mixed premade salad bags at the supermarket) and get more nutrients than eating it raw?

3. Have any suggestions on cooking? Steaming? On frying pan? George foreman grill? lol
