    A highly stressful lifestyle coupled with the compromises you make in your food choices can result in poor health and diseases that can severely limit your ability to enjoy life. Unfortunately, some of the most delicious foods around, such as fried chicken and French fries, are not good for your waistline nor for your overall well-being, since cooking them requires vast amounts of oil. Nevertheless, you can enjoy the flavor and texture of deep-fried foods without the negative effects on your health with the use of an air fryer. Air fryers were first launched in Australia and Europe in 2010. After becoming a big hit, they were soon released in North America and Japan. Now, you can find air fryers practically in most modern kitchens where they are used to cook everything from chips to samosas. But while air frying can be considered a healthier way of cooking, it doesn’t mean you can eat high-fat foods every day without putting your health at risk. Remember that you still need to exercise self-control and stick to cooking mostly healthy foods if you want to stay fit. If you’ve ever wondered about how air frying works and whether it is indeed better for you, this eBook has all the information you need. It also contains healthy recipes so you and your whole family can enjoy all the benefits of air frying.
