The "pros and cons" of edible oils
I am in a big conflict over the use of oil in cooking!
On the one hand, there is no limit to adulteration, on the other hand, some say
- this is good, others say - that is good. And of course there is the matter of
price. "Different sages have different opinions", some say, how is
oil made from vegetables? And some say - why not?
There is no way to avoid the use of oil in everyday
cooking. Anyone can try it out. There are only a few dishes that can be eaten
without oil. All the other dishes are so tasteless when cooked without oil,
that - you can't even put it in your mouth. So I went to a nutritionist in the
hope of getting a solution.
Since, to live a healthy life, we need to know, and we
need to try it out.
Nutritionists say that oil is also important for the
body. 15 to 33 percent of the daily calorie requirement needs to come from oil
or fat. Apart from maintaining nutritional balance and acting as a source of
energy, oil has many other functions. Some vitamins are soluble only in oil.
But there is also an opposite side to the benefits of
oil, such as - oil increases cholesterol and this results in heart disease,
obesity. For this reason, many people give up oil altogether - this is not
right. Oil must be used. You just have to know the quality and rules and follow
them.
Nutritionists say - oil contains fatty acids. Fatty
acids are generally of two types - saturated and unsaturated. Unsaturated fats
can be of two types - polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. The quality of the
oil depends on the amount and variety of these fatty acids.
According to a report by Harvard University, 10
teaspoons of oil is enough for everyone every day. And vegetable oil is the
only oil that can be used - not animal oil. Animal oils contain many harmful
ingredients - they are not suitable for always. Vegetable oils are very good if
it broken in grinder.
1. Soybean oil: It is the most widely used
edible oil. It is rich in vitamins E and K. Polyunsaturated and amino acids. It
is more beneficial if you mix it with omega-3 fatty acids.
2. Olive oil: It is mainly rich in
monounsaturated fatty acids and reduces harmful LDL cholesterol. Food cooked in
this oil is easily digested. However, if cooked at high heat, its nutritional
value decreases. It is rich in antioxidants.
3. Sunflower oil: Sunflower oil is high in
polyunsaturated fats. It is used in making dalda. Since it does not contain
alpha linoleic acid, it is better not to eat it continuously for a long time.
4. Mustard oil: This oil has antibacterial
properties. It contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Mustard oil increases
taste and appetite. Useful in asthma and colds.
5. Rice bran oil: This oil contains the right
amount of vitamin E, antioxidants and fatty acids. It is beneficial for heart
disease. The density of this oil is also low.
6. Palm oil: This oil is high in saturated fat,
so it increases fat. However, it is good for eyesight as it contains more
carotene.
7. Sesame oil: Sesame oil is not used much because it
has a strong smell. However, it has a role in reducing anxiety, depression,
high blood pressure, and diabetes. It is rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and
polyunsaturated fats.
8. Canola oil: This oil is very beneficial because it
is high in monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-3. Apart from this, it has
adequate vitamin E and K.
9. Coconut oil: This oil increases fat because it is
high in fatty acids. However, it is good for Alzheimer's. It is also beneficial
for hair and skin. If used excessively in cooking, indigestion and acne
problems may occur.
# Now you can choose the oil that suits your health and
follow the moderation. If necessary, you can take the help of a nutritionist. To lead
a healthy life - You have to choose the oil that will run the wheel of
your health.
