Which oils are the healthiest to cook with? And which ones should I avoid?
Today, I want to answer these questions and share with you the Clean Guide to Cooking Oils created by my team.
If there’s one thing in your diet you could change today that would have a huge impact long term on your health, it’s this one.
Change your oils, change your health.
Let’s start with why fats are important and then get into two ways to upgrade your fats and cooking oils.
Oil, Fat and Health
If we are eating a mostly clean diet, much of our diet’s fat content comes from whole foods and oils. For example salmon or other fatty fish, grass-fed animal products, nuts and seeds, avocado, and coconut oil are all healthy sources of fat.
In the nutrition world, we see a range of diet styles that advocate fat intake between 10% to 30%. While the amount of fat you eat is very dependent on lifestyle and genetic factors (i.e. how well you breakdown saturated fat, how active you are), what is clear is that fats are important for our health.
