🌬️ Why Air Frying is Better than Oil Frying

1. Less Fat, Fewer Calories

• Air frying uses 85–95% less oil than deep frying.

• Fewer calories = lower obesity and heart disease risk.

2. Lowers Harmful Compounds

• Oil frying at high temps creates harmful substances like:

  • Acrylamide (linked to cancer risk)

  • Oxidized fats (linked to inflammation)

• Air frying reduces formation of these oxidative stress compounds.

3. Better for Heart Health

• Lower saturated/trans fat intake supports:

  • Healthy lipid profiles

  • Lower LDL cholesterol

4. Preserves Nutrients

• Less heat + oil means less nutrient destruction, especially:

  • Vitamin C

  • Polyphenols

  • Antioxidants

5. Safer & Cleaner

• No splattering oil.

• Less chance of burns or fire hazards.

• Easier cleanup (hello, convenience!).
