ICMR-NIN's Dietary Guidelines explained for Food

Indian council of medical research, ICMR has told the right way to cook healthy food According to them, food should always be cooked with the lid closed. This saves time.

The nutrients of the food are also saved. In fact, as soon as it comes in contact with fire, the amount of nutrients begins to decrease.

When we cover the wok while cooking food, it takes less time and the nutrition of the food remains. At the same time, it takes more time to cook food without covering it. When it comes in contact with air, the nutrients are quickly destroyed.

If you cover the utensils, it also reduces the risk of food contamination. i.e. the possibility of food being polluted is very less. One more tip. According to ICMR, if you are making lentils, then boil it in a pressure cooker or in another utensil. Doing this, the enzyme inhibitors present in the lentils are finished. By which the lentils and its nutrients are well digested in the body.
