Asking for Other, Male, 41 years old, Lahore
I want to ask about cooking oil/ghee. What is best for middle age person for cooking, oil/ghee. Some people say that desi ghee is best, others say that corn oil is good, olive oil is good. Some say no oil only boiled food is good. Kindly advice corn, conola, olive, sunflawer oil, vegetable oil, mustered oil etc. What to use and how much to use.
corn oil or any vegetable oil is best for use and olive oil for salad dressing.
If the patient is not suffering from any medical complications you can use canola oil and olive oil in a moderate amount. Just make sure you aren't using too much oil in any food you are preparing. But if there is any medical complications then you have to give us information about that so we can completely guide you.
for an addult all these oils r good if get mixed......but desi ghee is best all the time.....however all types of oils must be according to need.
for a healthy person daily consumption of fats/oil is 2 table spoon...in ghee option only desi ghee is best all other banaspati ghee type products are ordered to be banned in Pakistan as they can cause heart complications besides cancer...in oils mustard oil, corn oil they are good options...olive oil can only be used as dressing in salads...it cant be cooked
Never depend on just one oil. Use the oil most suited for the dish you are making, and keep the amount used to a minimum. Sometimes the right option is desi ghee, other times it may be olive oil, butter, mustard seed oil, etc.
For cooking purpose pure mustard oil should be used. It is pure and 100% natural. NEVER use processed hydrogenated oil, eg, canola, corn, sunflower, etc, etc, they contain transfat which causes atherosclerosis and thickening of arteries leading to Hypertension, heart attack, stroke, these oils are bad and inflammation in body eg joint pain. For deep frying use mustard oil, shallow fry with Desi ghee. Use extra virgin olive oil for salads, don't use Pomace olive oil it also contains chemicals. Hope answered the question
Well desi ghee has more positive properties than others .. but olive oil is best, though it’s costly to use so I recommend you desi ghee if you afford it
it's all depends on current health condition. if not suffering from any disease than you can have 1 TSP to 1 tbsp of desi ghee per day. for cooking rapeseed oil is good. use olive oil for dressing in salads
Assalam alaikum dear...
it totaly depends upon you and your current health condition...
if you are healthy then you can use 1tbsp of oil (mustard, desi ghee ) and olive oil is only used for salad dressing...
for further details kindly book an appointment with me
Aoa,, you can use Desi ghee corn oil in moderation for cooking and you can also use olive oil (extra virgin oil is best ) but also in moderation.. Usage of oils and fats also depends on your body .. If you are healthy and not having any issue related cholesterol etc then go for healthy oil usage !!
Cooking oil is better than ghee, desi ghee is good but not good for cooking purposes. Corn oil is better option for cooking. As olive oil should also not used for cooking. You can use olive oil for salad dressings.
