How To Choose Fats And Oils: In view of the increasing cases of heart diseases nowadays people have become alert about diet. Especially people like to cook food with less oil and in good oil. Consuming too much oil increases the amount of cholesterol in the body, which increases the risk of heart diseases. People who have high cholesterol are at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. If you buy oil from the market, then you should buy oil only after checking some things. Let us know what things to keep in mind while buying oil and which cooking oil is better for you?
What to check when buying oil?
1- Whenever you buy oil from the market, buy pressed oil instead of chemically abstract oil. This is written on the bottle of oil.
2- Mustard oil comes in the list of pressed oil. Omega-3, 6 and 9 are found in good quality oils. While buying oil, see that omega-3 is written above and omega-6 below it means that omega-3 is more and omega-6 is less in this oil.
3- Whenever you buy oil, check that there should be zero trans fat in the oil. You will see all these information written on the label above the packing of the oil.
Which oil is good for cooking?
Instead of using one oil all the time, you should keep changing your oil every once in a while. Like you use mustard oil for a month, then use groundnut oil for a month. In this way you will continue to get all the necessary fats. Keep in mind that mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats are mixed in your cooking oil. There are two parts of poly unsaturated, one is omega-3 and the other is omega-6. Both these omega fatty acids are essential for the heart and are found in oils like saffola or safflower, canola, sunflower. Mono-unsaturated fats are found in olive oil, rice bran, mustard oil and groundnut oil.
How to use oil in cooking
Olive oil, canola oil, mustard oil, soybean, sunflower, safflower, rice bran oil are considered good for cooking. It is best if you use one spoon of desi ghee while cooking, mixing one spoon of mustard oil and one spoon of sunflower oil. The new form of this is the blended oil available in the market today.
Which oil is not good?
Oil is heated very fast for cooking. When the oil is heated repeatedly, its chemical bonding changes. This is called trans saturated fat which is harmful to health. At the same time, many types of vegetable oil are prepared by adding hydrogen. This significantly increases the amount of trans fat in the oil. They cause a lot of harm to the body. Trans fat increases bad cholesterol in the body and reduces good cholesterol.
