Air fryers have become a popular kitchen appliance due to their ability to deliver crispy, delicious results with minimal oil.  However, a common challenge users face is the movement of lighter food items during the cooking process. This can be not only frustrating but also pose potential safety hazards. The Science Behind Flying Food: Air fryers utilize a powerful internal fan that circulates hot air rapidly within the cooking chamber. This rapid air circulation is precisely what creates the crispy texture associated with air-fried foods. However, for lighter food items like makhana, garlic, papad, sesame seeds, flax seeds or similar products, this air current can cause them to lift and potentially fly around the basket. Safety Concerns: Food flying in your air fryer can lead to a few potential safety issues: Food Stuck in the Coil: If light food items come into contact with the heating element (coil), they can burn and stick, potentially leading to smoke and difficulty cleaning....

Can millets cause weight loss? While a "millet diet" in the strictest sense (consisting solely of millet) may not be sustainable or recommended, incorporating millets into your diet can be beneficial for weight management. Here's a look at the scientific evidence supporting this: **1. High Fiber Content: ** Millets are rich in dietary fiber, which plays a crucial role in weight management. Fiber takes longer to digest, keeping you feeling full for longer and reducing overall calorie intake. Research shows that fiber also regulates appetite and prolongs satiety, preventing overeating and promoting weight loss. **2. Low Glycemic Index: ** Millets have a low glycemic index (GI), meaning they cause a gradual rise in blood sugar levels compared to high-GI foods. This helps maintain stable energy levels and prevents blood sugar spikes that can lead to cravings and overeating. **3. Protein Content: ** Millets are a good source of protein, which is essential for building and main...
