In today's health-conscious world, oils have emerged as versatile and powerful tools for enhancing wellness. From cooking to skincare, essential oils to carrier oils, the options are abundant and sometimes overwhelming. But fear not, because Coach Theah is here to demystify the world of oils and guide you through their myriad benefits and uses. Whether you're a seasoned oil enthusiast or a newcomer looking to incorporate them into your routine, this comprehensive guide has something for everyone.
❤️Understanding the Basics
Before diving into the specifics, it's essential to understand the distinction between essential oils and carrier oils. Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that capture the essence and aroma of the plant. Carrier oils, on the other hand, are derived from the fatty portions of plants, such as seeds, nuts, or kernels, and are used to dilute essential oils for safe application to the skin.
Between olive oil, canola oil, and coconut oil -- there are oodles of oils out there.
But NOT all oils are created equal. Some deliver health-boosting benefits. Others are highly inflammatory.
Some break down at high temperatures. Others withstand high heat like a champ.
So how do you know which oils to choose? Read on! This guide will share everything you need to know to use oils the right way.
❤️Cooking with Oils
In the kitchen, oils are not only used for cooking but also for adding flavor and nutrition to dishes. Coach Theah recommends opting for unrefined, cold-pressed oils whenever possible, as they retain more nutrients and flavor. Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and sesame oil are just a few examples of healthy cooking oils that can elevate your culinary creations.
✅Smoke point - This is the temperature at which the oil stops glistening and starts to burn and smoke. When an oil smokes, it releases free radicals, which can damage the cells of your body.
✅Flavor - Some oils have a subtle, neutral flavor. Others are more robust and can enhance the taste of your food.
✅Type of fat - Some oils come from healthy fats like monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. Others come from unhealthy saturated or trans fats.
✅Quality - Lower quality oils are processed or refined. The highest quality oils are pure and cold-pressed.
✅Health benefits - Some oils deliver vitamins, antioxidants, or omega-3s. Other oils can be harmful to your health.
❤️The Best Oils for Cooking
When cooking with oils, always keep the smoke point in mind. Oils with higher smoke points work well with high-heat cooking methods like roasting, broiling, stir-frying, or grilling.
Some oils can withstand low-heat cooking methods like sautéing or baking, but break down when the temperature gets too high.
Unrefined oils are more nutritious have have more pronounced flavors. But they don’t withstand heat as well as refined versions. Refined oils have less nutrients and flavor, but have higher smoke points.
