Healthy Oils!

[Neutral Nova]

As usual, I use general oil. Now I want to change this and find a healthy oil.

Do you have any suggestions?
Have any good ideas?

I use olive oil in cooking because I heard that it is good for you although I have used all types in the past. I have been told not to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for frying as it it can burn when reaching high temperatures so I just used the regular stuff.

Olive oil and Canola oil is pretty healthy. I usually use those the most.

Nutrition and cooking experts agree that one of the most versatile and healthy oils to cook with and eat is olive oil, as long as it’s extra virgin. “You want an oil that is not refined and overly processed,” says Howard. An “extra virgin” label means that the olive oil is not refined, and therefore of high quality. Extra virgin olive oil contains a large amount of monounsaturated fats and some polyunsaturated fatty acids; many studies have linked it to better heart health. Olive oil has a relatively lower smoke point compared to other oils, so it’s best for low and medium-heat cooking.
