'Good fat' is necessary to maintain good heart health: oil, ghee or butter, what is this fat?

The Dhaka Times Desk Not only heart disease, olive oil can also reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's.

If there is a problem in the body, the first anger falls on food. Doctors, friends and relatives all say one thing - you can't eat too much oil and spices. If the problem is heart, then there is nothing to say. Even if we use mustard oil or white oil in daily cooking, sometimes we break the rules and eat ghee or butter. Many people think that it is better to eat ghee or butter for one-and-a-half days than to eat oil spices every day. Doctors say that any vegetable oil is good for heart health.

So ghee or butter?

Ghee is unprocessed fat. Pure cow ghee contains omega three and vitamin A. About 900 calories are produced from 100 grams of ghee. Moreover, although ghee contains 60 percent saturated fat, it does not contain trans fat.

On the other hand, 100 grams of butter contains 717 calories, 51 percent saturated fat and 3 grams of trans fat. So it can be said that ghee is slightly more than butter.

But a recent study has revealed a new information. It is said that olive oil alone is best to maintain heart health and avoid related risks, not ghee or butter. Because olive oil contains a lot of anti-oxidants, consuming it regularly can not only reduce the risk of heart disease, but also reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. Moreover, olive oil is very high in 'good fats', which help in controlling cholesterol in the blood.

Bengalis do not want to eat any food except fried food. Extra virgin olive oil is strictly prohibited for frying anything. So, thinking that you are eating olive oil, you will happily eat oil fried food, it is not happening at all.

However, not everyone has the same taste and ability. So whatever oil you use for cooking, there are a few things that must be followed.

# If the color of the cooking oil turns black or the oil thickens after cooking once, that oil cannot be used again.

# Never overheat oil while cooking.

# Never buy too much oil at once and store it.

# Do not store oil in direct sunlight.
