Slow cooking means long life!
...... According to consultant celebrity nutritionist Sandhya Gugnani, "Slow cooking is a low fat, healthier method of cooking, which requires minimum amount of effort. One could add all the ingredients at the same time. One doesn't need to add any oil as long as there is enough moisture. Slow heat not only enhances the flavours but also increases the bioavailability of nutrients in plant foods. While cooking on high heat can kill the nutritional value of foods, roasting and boiling can damage them too."
In fact heat, says Sandhya, "May also affect the biological value of proteins; it may destroy certain amino acids. Slow Cooking meat with the bone provides our body with rich source of collagen, gelatine and minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, phosphate & magnesium. Gelatine mainly has many health benefits as it supports our liver function, digestion, muscles, skin & hair growth. In short, this process provides you with more nutrition, warding off diseases and helping you live longer."
High on taste
According to celebrity Chef Varun Ramchandran, head of content, FoodFood, "Slow cooking means any food preparation method which relies on using low-heat for a long period of time. Slow-cooking lets food become incredibly tender, as all of its connective tissues break down. Also, flavour can infuse over time and provide deeper results than with any other method. Lastly, long-cooking times create a celebratory atmosphere where food is the focal point of a social gathering."
For all those who believe that slow cooking takes away the flavour of spices, we have some classic Indian examples like Dum Biryani, Haleem and Daal Makhni which are known for their aroma and taste. All these dishes are cooked for long hours over slow fire.

Re: Slow cooking means long life!
Well...as t --> infinity, then slow cooking becomes almost no cooking. So if everyone grazes grass like an elephant or a cow, everyone will be strong and will live a long life...
