We all know just how bad excess oil consumption can be. This man-made product is directly linked to higher rates of obesity, heart disease and arthritis. And yet we are unable to stay away from our favourite pack of potato chips. Here are some simple tips to help reduce your oil intake and change your life for the better. 

• Deep fried alternatives

Deep frying food is the most harmful way to consume oil. Using an air fryer is a faster and healthier alternative to this. Air fryers use little to no oil and still give you a crisp and crunchy exterior with a soft and gooey interior. While deep fried foods taste better, air frying, roasting or grilling your food will give you a healthy snack without the deep-fried guilt.

• Switch to baked

Even though we know baked foods are better for us, the taste and variety of fried foods keep us hooked. Websites like DIP Foods provides customers with innovative, healthy and tasty snacks like their baked pani puri and baked bhakarwadi products. Experimenting with baking instead of frying pushes you to experiment with new dishes and keeps your meals enjoyable. Rely on DIP Foods and eventually all of your meals will be healthier without compromising on taste. 

• Low fat cooking techniques

Another great way to reduce your oil intake is to shallow fry your food. A good non-stick frying pan sprayed with some cooking spray can do the trick. Stir fry or sauté your food for a quick and healthy snack. A low fat cooking method that does not require any oil is steaming. Place the dish you need to steam in a pot and allow the heat trapped inside to do the cooking. Pour some seasoning on top and enjoy steamed food completely free from oil. 

Cooking with oil can be quick and easy in the short term but over a period of time the negative effects far outweigh the positive. Switching out your oil-laden products for healthier alternatives will put you on the fast track to a healthier life without having to resort to fad diets. Try swapping your fried potato chips for baked potato chips and feel the health benefits to your body each and every day.
