Whenever we talk about unhealthy food, our first thoughts are on sugar, cold drinks and fried food. However, you will be surprised to know that there is another dangerous enemy hidden in your plate, which is slowly hollowing out your health from inside. We are talking about vegetable seed oils. Processed oils like sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil and canola oil, which have been sold for decades in the name of health. According to experts, these oils are the real enemies of your health, which are hollowing out your body from inside every day.

Famous nutritionist Dr. Reena Khanna says that these vegetable seed oils are cheap, processed and full of unstable omega-6 fats. High temperatures and chemicals are used to make them, which makes them harmful to the human body. Excess of omega-6 fats increases inflammation in the body, which can cause serious diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity and even cancer.

According to Dr. Reena Khanna, these oils were not traditionally made for human consumption. Earlier people used natural fats like coconut oil, ghee or butter, which are beneficial for the body. But cheap and long shelf life seed oils made their place in the market. These oils easily oxidize at high temperatures, leading to the formation of harmful free radicals. These free radicals damage the body cells and accelerate the aging process.

What does research say?

Research shows that an imbalance of omega-6 and omega-3 fats (which increases with these oils) promotes chronic inflammation in the body. This imbalance is a major cause of heart disease. Apart from this, these oils affect metabolism, which can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance.

What the experts recommend

Experts recommend that these oils should be completely removed from your diet. Instead, use healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil (extra virgin), ghee or butter. We all should return to our traditional cooking habits. This small change can make a big difference to your health. If you want to give priority to your health, then say goodbye to these harmful oils today.
