BE SELECTIVE ABOUT YOUR COOKING OIL:
The common edible oils used in cooking in india includes mustard oil, sunflower oil, groundnut oil, soya bean oil and coconut oil.
Dieticians points out, mustard and olive oil are better and rich in N3 pufa. These oils are good for the heart and the latter is good even for the skin. Combining mustard and sunflower/vegetable oil in 5:1 ratio is recomended as it minimises the harmful effects of sunflower oil. Many companies have also come up with the combination oils, for example the soya or safflower oil.
Its also advisable to keep switching oils every fortnight or every month to get the essential good qualities from all oils.
Also, consume no more than two-four teaspoons of oil daily.
