Why is steamed food better than fried food for a heart patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It reduces added fat intake
Steaming generally needs little or no added oil, butter, or ghee, so it can reduce the fat and energy density of a meal compared with frying. This supports a heart-healthy eating pattern when portions and ingredients are also appropriate. Steaming does not automatically increase sodium; salt addition determines sodium content.
