Everyone tries to stay healthy, but many times people unknowingly consume such things, which gradually harm their health. Everyone knows that alcohol, cigarettes and sugar are not at all good for our body.
That’s why nowadays many people try to avoid them as much as possible. However, there is one more thing which is more dangerous than alcohol and sugar, but it is also a part of the daily diet of most people. Dr. Salim Zaidi has told about this through an Instagram post. The surprising thing is that we ourselves add a lot of it to our food. Let us know which food item is this.
This one thing is more dangerous than alcohol and sugar
Dr. Salim Zaidi says that the refined oil used in your cooking is more dangerous than alcohol and sugar, which most people consume on a daily basis. Sunflower oil, canola oil, soybean oil, rice bran oil and vegetable ghee available in the market; Those which are marketed as healthy are actually not healthy at all. Usually words like heart healthy or light are written on them, but these are most harmful for your liver, brain and heart health.
Why is refined oil so harmful?
Dr. Salim Zaidi explains that to make refined oil, seeds are treated with chemical solvent at a heat of more than 200° C. Due to this process, compounds that cause inflammation are formed in this oil, which increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes and even cancer.
The worst is vegetable ghee or dalda.
Doctors say that if you are using vegetable ghee or Dalda in your daily cooking, then it is more dangerous than refined oil. Actually it is hydrogenated oil, which contains a lot of trans fats. According to WHO i.e. World Health Organization, these trans fats are as dangerous as cigarettes. Moreover, this is one of the biggest causes of heart attack.
Then which oil to use for cooking?
Now the question arises that which oil should be used for cooking instead of refined or vegetable ghee. Dr. Salim advises that instead of these you should use desi ghee or mustard oil. However, keep their quantity limited. If you make this small change in your diet, then your liver, heart and brain remain healthy and you remain healthy for a long life.
