Beyond Peanut Oil: Top 4 Healthy Cooking Oils Recommended by Nutritionists

• Peanut oil is popular in Telugu states, ideal for deep frying due to low absorption and rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which improve cholesterol levels.
• Sesame oil contains sesamol, a powerful antioxidant that remains stable when heated, enhances flavor, and can help control blood pressure.
• Mustard oil has a high smoking point, making it suitable for frying and roasting, and is rich in beneficial Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
• Rice bran oil is light, easily digestible, contains oryzanol (which dissolves cholesterol), and has a high smoking point, making it good for deep frying.
• Nutritionists advise alternating cooking oils (e.g., monthly or daily) to ensure a balanced intake of various fatty acids and nutrients, avoiding prolonged use of a single type.

Why It Matters: Diversify your cooking oils with peanut, sesame, mustard, and rice bran for optimal health benefits.
