Thereās a lot of buzz right now about cooking oilsā¦
Which ones are healthy, which ones arenāt, and which ones you should stay far away from⦠especially if youāre trying to reduce daily inflammation.
Since I get a lot of questions from busy women trying to eat clean without overthinking every ingredient about it, I wanted to put together a mini-guide for you.
Because itās true: not all oils are created equal.
And some can actually promote inflammation, interfering with your energy, recovery, digestion, and even your mood.
Letās break it down.š
ā Oils & Fats That Support Your Health: These are anti-inflammatory, hormone-supporting, and make your meals more delicious:
Extra-virgin olive oil
Avocado oil
Nuts and seeds
Fatty fish (like salmon)
ā ļø Oils That Can Sabotage Progress: These pro-inflammatory fats are very common in processed foods and restaurant meals ā especially when cooked at high heat:
Vegetable oil
Soybean oil
Corn oil
Canola oil
Margarine
A quick note on Omega-6s vs. Omega-3s:
You do need both, but the average person eating a standard American diet gets way too many omega-6s (from processed foods and oils) and not nearly enough omega-3s (from fish, flax, chia, walnuts).
When omega-6s start to dominate, inflammation can creep up, even if the rest of your nutrition is dialed in.
š Hereās What You Can Do Today:
Swap your usual cooking oil for avocado oil ā great for higher-heat cooking!
Sprinkle flaxseed or chia seeds onto meals for a simple omega-3 boost.
Snack on nuts or seeds instead of processed foods with hidden oils.
Small upgrades like these can make a BIG difference.
Hope this was helpful š
Make it an amazing day,
