Eating steamed food has lots of health benefits. It is good for health-conscious people, whose motto is to "eat healthy and stay healthy". It is not only good for health, but also it is very easy. You just need a food steamer and no need to add any oil or fat.
         It is very effective in weight loss, because, no added fat means no calories.
          Steamed food is healthy because the nutrients of food stay remain in it as food does not come in direct contact with hot boiling water as a result, all the nutrients like water-soluble vitamins ( vitamin c and vitamin B), some minerals like calcium, zinc, phosphorus, and enzymes do not destroy. 
 How long does it take to cook vegetables? this is also a very important point to know and we should avoid overcooking otherwise the nutrients will destroy and the veggies become mushy also the test will go.     
    As steaming is a very gentle way of cooking it is good for soft vegetables the cooking time is different for different veggies like; we should steam all the leafy vegetables for 5-7 minutes, broccoli and cauliflower maximum for 10 minutes, green beans and peas 4-5 minutes, and root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, can cook for 12-15 minutes only. 
          For the steaming of veggies, first, we have to wash the veggies clean and cut them into small pieces then, fill the water in the steamer and keep all the vegetables in the basket of the steamer. As soon as the water starts to boil in the steamer, veggies will start cooking from their steam. But keep in mind the water level should remain below the basket and cover the basket with a lid so that steam does not come out and the cooking is done well. Instead of the steamer, we can also use a big pot and kitchen strainer.
                We can make boiled vegetables testier by adding salt and pepper, vinegar, chilies, lemon juice, garlic, etc, and very little olive oil and butter.
               Apart from veggies and fruits, people also like to steam, sprouts, pulses, meat, and fishes, etc. Steaming any kind of meat dissolves its fat and makes it easy to digest.
                 Why steamed food is light?  food has fibers,  and due to steaming, fibers of the food becomes soft and there is no added fat in it due to which it is called light food. It helps to control cholesterol, blood pressure as well as it is good for heart patients also because there is no saturated fat. The texture, color, and aroma does not change in steamed food.
                 A variety of dishes can be cooked by steaming.  In India, many steamed dishes are famous like; Idli. Dhokla, spring roll, faraa, etc. Momos are very famous in the young generation. This is time-saving also, as there is no need to wash many utensils after cooking.
                         Eating steamed meals is a count number of gaining various matters that will lead you with good health throughout of your entire life.
