It is always mentioned that taking steamed items such as idli, idiyappam, puttu, etc for breakfast is good for health.
In a world-based research, idli has been accorded and recommended as the best breakfast item.
In the process of steaming, the chemical called ‘glucocynalades’ in the food item gets transformed. This process prevents cancer.
In fact, the ingredient glucocino acid contained in broccoli increases by 10% when steamed.
As usage of oil is avoided, these breakfast items carry less fat content.
The steaming process helps the body health in many respects.
As fat content is less in steamed items, it helps reduce body weight.
So, people interested in weight reduction may better include steamed items in their diet regularly.
As the steamed items are cooked without any oil, they provide protection to heart. The absence of fat content is the main reason for this.
Hence, people with heart-related diseases can best include steamed food items regularly in their diet!
