Make vegetables with less oil or do something like that. But do you know that for a healthy and good lifestyle, you need to choose the right oil more than reducing the oil? In the name of healthy diet, we first remove oil from our diet, but according to experts, it is not oil but ‘wrong kind of oil’ which is harmful for you. Let us know what kind of oil should be used for a healthy lifestyle.
Dietician Dr. Shweta Shah tells in one of her videos that the oil we are using in our homes today mainly contains two types of oils. Hydrogenated and others are cold-pressed oils. First of all, if we talk about hydrogenated oil, the first thing that happens is that it increases the bad cholesterol (LDL) in your body. If you look at your cholesterol report you will see this.
