• Eating healthy is good for you and good for your
  heart. But when it comes to healthy eating, one
  of the most important parts that is often
  overlooked is the cooking oil. Picking a healthy
  cooking oil such as a blended cooking oil should
  be one of the first changes that you should make
  when youre trying to switch to a healthier
  diet. You can make an informed decision to pick
  the right type of oil that can give the maximum
  number of benefits. To understand this, first,
  you need to know what type of cooking oils are
  good and bad for you.
• What Makes a Cooking Oil Healthy
• All oils are fats, but not all types of fats are
  the good. Saturated fats can have a negative
  impact on your health, especially when consumed
  in large quantities. National Institute of
  Nutritions dietary guidelines recommends
  reducing your consumption of saturated fats from
  sources such as ghee but still maintaining an
  intake of essential fatty acids that help your
  body with its regular functions including
  processing fat-soluble vitamins. Healthy oils are
  low in saturated fats and rich in unsaturated
  fats, the good kind of fats. Monounsaturated
  fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty
  acids (PUFAs) are found in different types of
  vegetable and seed oils. MUFAs and PUFAs come
  with their own benefits but ideally, you should
  get the right balance of both in your diet to
  stay heart healthy.
• Benefits of Blended Cooking Oils
• They are Scientifically Blended to be Rich in
  MUFAs and PUFAs
• Blended oils combine two oils into one, so you
  have a rich source of MUFAs and PUFAs from a
  single healthy cooking oil. While these blended
  oils are a combination of different oils, the
  process isnt as simple as mixing of oils in any
  proportion. There is a scientifically derived
  percentage of both types of oil, used to create
  the blend. Research suggests that long-term use
  of blended cooking oils that have the right
  fatty acid profile can help prevent heart
  diseases in Indians.
• Blends Can Have A Higher Smoke Point Over Some
  Single-Source Oils
• Many single-source oils have a low smoke point
  which means that they cant be used at high
  temperatures for cooking purposes such as frying.
  A lower smoke point means that the oils heat up
  quickly and start to smoke, after which it would
  have to be removed from heat. Blended oils can
  have a higher smoke point compared to the oils
  that it is a combination of, making them perfect
  for all types of cooking.

which it is absorbed in lower quantities compared
to other common cooking oils while frying. Making
it a good option if youre on the search for
heart healthy oils in India. 5. They Provide
Additional Health Benefits Over Single Source
Oils Blended cooking oils, apart from combining
the benefits of both types of unsaturated fatty
acids, can also come with other benefits.
Different types of blends can be beneficial for
different health needs. This gives you the
flexibility to make the right choice based on the
benefits that you want from your cooking oil
without having to limit yourself to one type of
oil. Saffola Gold, for example, is a blended oil
that is a combination of Rice bran and sunflower
oil, which has been created to be beneficial for
your heart health. The Saffola Gold oil
ingredients have been picked and combined in a
scientifically tested ratio of both the oils to
have a good fatty acid profile that provides the
benefits of both MUFAs and PUFAs. There are also
other Saffola blended oils crafted for other
health needs. If you are looking to manage
cholesterol, you can opt for a blend of rice bran
oil and safflower oil with Saffola Total. A
blend of these two oils has also been shown to be
better at keeping cholesterol levels in check
compared to just rice bran or safflower oil on
its own. So, now that you know more about the
benefits of blended oils, you know why theyre
considered to be one of the best cooking oils for
health. Make the right choice for your health
and start cooking your healthy dishes with the
right heart healthy oils that help make your
meals even healthier.
