Cooking oil
Hi
There are variety of cooking oils
Groundnut oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, etc
Would like to know which oils are best suited ..does it depend on the season or something else
My parents are diabetics, have cholestorol issues and Dad is a heart patient
Rest of the family members are in 40s and 30s
Can you pls recommend how can we choose our oils throughout the year
We are also planning to start buying oils from ghani directly instead of buying the branded refined oils
Thanks

Usage of any oil in large quantity may damage your health..you must adjust in cooking recipe like less oil or no oil recipe...if possible take desi cow ghee instead of buffalo ghee.. which has high cholesterol compared to cow ghee.
Next Steps
If you want any no oil recipe or less oil..i will tell..for more information consult me.

Oil should be chosen based on season, body type (prakriti)& health condition
In winter-use mustard oil or sesame (til) oil - good for heart health
In summer- groundnut oil is best for daily cooking, Coconut oil can be used occasionally
Avoid regular use of sunflower oil (too
much may increase inflammation) -not ideal for heart patient
500 ml oil per person per month is enough
