The most useful and aromatic oils are unrefined. You cannot cook on them, since heat treatment produces carcinogens, but you can add them to the diet in their pure form, replenishing the reserves of unsaturated fatty acids in the body. What vegetable oils do you need to take note of to be healthy?
Sunflower oil
The most popular and widespread type of oil with a high content of linoleic acid, which is responsible for good immunity. This acid helps reduce fatigue, and sunflower oil generally prevents harmful cholesterol from being absorbed. Vitamin E, contained in sunflower oil, slows down cell aging.
Camelina oil
The source of this oil is the seeds of the camelina plant. The taste of the oil is not very pleasant and even harsh, but only 20 grams is enough for the body to receive all the necessary fatty acids and vitamins.
Olive oil
The most popular oil among those who follow a healthy lifestyle and try to eat right. This oil has a beneficial effect on the liver, gallbladder and digestive organs. Olive oil improves memory and protects against cardiovascular disease.
Grape seed oil
An excellent source of vitamin E, zinc, copper, selenium and vitamin C. Grape seed oil contains a large amount of antioxidants, due to which the vessels maintain elasticity. A small amount of grape seed oil in the diet will protect the cardiovascular system and help to strengthen the immune system.
Coconut oil
Not the most familiar oil for us, but very useful. It regulates the thyroid gland, removes harmful cholesterol from the body and improves metabolism, which contributes to weight loss.
Corn oil
A storehouse of vitamin E, thanks to which the normal functioning of the endocrine system is ensured: the gonads, adrenal glands, pituitary and thyroid glands. Corn oil improves brain function, reduces blood clots and helps with fatigue.
