If you are someone who values wellness, you must have taken note of Virat Kohli’s fitness routine and a diet that complements the former. The sportsperson recently revealed that he follows simple food habits — which include boiled and steamed dishes, salads with a drizzle of olive oil and sometimes, pan-fried snacks — to stay fit. On this note, nutritionist Vriti Srivastav, who is based in Mumbai, helps us plan our daily and monthly oil intake with these tips:
>> Add half-cooked, tossed, steamed, boiled and roasted foods in your diet. Such foods require less or no oil. Add your favourite natural seasonings to enhance the flavour of a dish. You can opt for ingredients such as fresh or dry rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, pepper and cinnamon.
