There’s more to cooking than just olive oil. Find out what other oils to use to benefit from their health benefits.
Cooking oils are welcome in the kitchen. But not all are equal. And some should not be heated either. Here’s how to sort things out to cook well…
Essentials for healthy eating
Cooking with the right foods is essential for health. However, it is not always easy to find your way in the jungle of supermarkets. The products offered are not all of the same quality.
This is the example of ham. Depending on the brand chosen, you will not find the same quality of product. To stay healthy, it is better to eat nitrite-free ham. Because these harmful additives are suspected of causing certain cancers.
But this is also the case for oils. These are essential in the kitchen. The star of all, olive oil, is particularly appreciated by the French. It is used in many dishes and gives its very particular taste to your recipes.
But this oil is far from reigning supreme in our kitchens. Because many oils also have undeniable health benefits. They all have interesting properties.
Edible oils contain omega 3 and 6. As well as fatty acids which contribute to the proper functioning of the body. For example, they improve heart health and help reduce the risk of heart attacks.
They also play a role in reducing (bad) cholesterol. In this game, olive oil is the big winner. Particularly because of its composition rich in omega 9. But there is one condition to benefit from its virtues: choose it carefully.
Choose extra virgin and PDO oils. As well as those which guarantee a first cold pressing. Other oils should also be in your cupboards.
These oils to consume to stay healthy
This is the case for sunflower oil. This “oleic” oil, which at first glance seems banal and of little interest, is on the contrary very interesting. Its high content of omega 6 helps promote cell growth and strengthen the immune system.
It is more versatile. Because it can be used in cooking, as well as cold, in seasonings for salads. In the world of vegetal oils, also favor canola. It is often confused with rapeseed and is full of omega 3.
In addition, it does not fear high temperatures. You can heat it up to 200°C. It is therefore perfect for browning vegetables or meat.
In the big family cooking oils, you can also validate that of soy. It is a product that can also be heated without problem. In addition, it has monounsaturated fatty acids that are very good for cardiovascular health.
Criticized by many nutritionists, palm oil is also a product to have at home. Rich in vitamin A, it is excellent for skin health and its anti-wrinkle properties. In addition, it is beneficial for menopausal and pregnant women and can even be used once morest osteoporosis.
Finally, don’t neglect walnut oil either. With its high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids, it displays antioxidant and regenerating properties. These are the kind of oils that also have their place in the bathroom. Because applied as a dry oil, it preserves the elasticity and softness of the skin.
