4 Health Benefits of Grilling

Compared to oven-cooking, grilling has several advantages for your health that you probably haven’t known about :

Less Fat

Grilling allows the fat excess to cook off and drip off, whereas cooking on a flat surface, for example on a pan, does not allow the fat to drip or fall off elsewhere. As a result, you eat less fat, healthier meat!

Retains Nutrients

Grilled vegetables retain more of their natural vitamins and nutrients as they have a low water content. Grilling has a way to preserve the vegetables nutritional values compared to boiling or frying. Same concept applies with meat. The riboflavin and thiamine nutrients are preserved, allowing you to enjoy the healthy benefits.

Fewer Calories

A good griller usually will use less butter or oil in grilling compared to other cooking methods. This reduces calories as meat cooks in its own fat and still turns out tender without much oil.

Outdoor Benefits

Grilling or barbecue is often associated with outdoor activities, which encourages a more active and healthier lifestyle- an added bonus with your delicious meal.
