You may be cooking nutritious meals, exercising regularly, avoiding sugar, and taking care of your health, but if you’re still using refined oil, it could be silently undoing your efforts.
Refined oils lose their natural nutrients during processing and often contain harmful residues.
Since oil is used in nearly 80% of our meals, choosing the right one is crucial for true wellness.
In India, the most commonly used refined oils include Refined Palm, Sunflower, Groundnut, Soybean, and Rice Bran Oil. They’re popular for their neutral taste and high smoke point, making them a staple in homes, restaurants, and the food industry.
But if any of these are in your kitchen — you need to read this article. It might just change the way you look at healthy cooking
Fix your Oil, Fix your Health.
This is how Refined Oil can potentially harm human health.
High Omega-6 Fatty Acid Content
Refined cooking oils, including palm oil, tend to be high in omega-6 fatty acids. While these fatty acids are essential for the body, an imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can lead to inflammation, which is associated with various chronic health conditions.
Processing Methods
The refining process often involves the use of chemicals and high heat, which can lead to the loss of natural nutrients and the formation of potentially harmful compounds.
Trans Fats
While modern refining processes have reduced the trans fat content in refined oils, some small amounts may still be present. Trans fats are known to increase bad cholesterol levels and raise the risk of heart disease.
Potential for Oxidation
Refined oils, especially those high in polyunsaturated fats like palm oil, are more susceptible to oxidation when exposed to heat and light. Oxidized oils can produce harmful free radicals in the body.
Impact on Heart Health
Excessive consumption of refined oils, especially those high in saturated and trans fats, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
Potential for Overconsumption
Due to their widespread use in processed foods and restaurant cooking, individuals may inadvertently consume large amounts of refined oils, contributing to overall caloric intake and potentially leading to weight gain.
