Benefits of Canola Oil

Healthy Fats
One way to reshape your diet is by choosing heart-healthy oils. Canola oil, which is made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant, is among the healthiest of cooking oils. It has the lowest saturated fat content of any oil commonly consumed in the U.S., at just 7%. By comparison, sunflower oil has 12% saturated fat, corn oil has 13%, and olive oil has 15%.

Although it's low in saturated fat, canola oil is very high in healthy unsaturated fats. It's an excellent source of the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, and it is higher in the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than any other oil commonly used. These fats are particularly important in the diet because the human body can't produce them.

Cooking With Canola Oil
Because of its light flavor and smooth texture, canola oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils. You can use it in a number of dishes and cooking methods.

Here are a few ideas for cooking with canola oil:
-Use as a cooking oil for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling, and baking.
-Add it to salad dressings, sauces, and marinades.
-Use it to coat your pans for nonstick baking.
-Replace it for solid fats (such as margarine and butter) in recipes

Easy isn't it?

Benefits of Oatmeal

If you are suffering with constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids or with some life threatening problems like colon cancer and coronary heart disease then chances are that the culprit is low fibre diet. It has been proved scientifically that a fibre rich diet helps in lowering cholesterol. It has been confirmed that high fibre diet also helps in cases of diabetes, obesity and cancer. Oats are highly nutritious and filled with cholesterol fighting soluble fibre. Like other grains oats do not lose their nutrients even after being hulled and processed.

Wonders of Oatmeal

Healthy Hearts:

By combining soluble and insoluble fibre, oatmeal lowers bad cholesterol. Daily intake of 3 gms of soluble fibre from oatmeal reduces risk of heart diseases.

Stabilized blood sugar:

With a low glycaemic index oatmeal is assimilated slowly, keeping sugar levels stable. The American Diabetes Association recommends a daily fibre intake of 20 - 35 gms. One cup of cooked oatmeal supplies 4 gms.

Here is the recepi that I create it myself.
Hope you will try baking it.

WHAT IS EVENING PRIMROSE OIL?
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is extracted from the seeds of
the Onagraceae family of plants which are native to North
and South America. In most species the flowers are yellow
and open in the evening hence the name "Evening Primrose Oil".
Its health benefits have been known for centuries. The roots have
a peppery flavour and can be eaten like a vegetable. The shoots
can be eaten as a salad. The whole plant has been used to treat
various medical conditions. It is believed to provide a wide range
of healing powers. The mature seeds contain approximately
7-10% gamma-linolenic acid, a rare essential fatty acid.
Evening primrose oil also supplies another fatty acid, known as
-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an Omega 6 essential fatty acid.
These polyunsaturated fats are good fats, unlike the saturated
fats that contribute to heart disease.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL HEALTH BENEFITS
The body does not produce essential fatty acids, making it important
to acquire these nutrients through diet and skin care.
Evening Primrose Oil is believed to be beneficial in the treatment of a
wide range of conditions. Some of the conditions which may benefit
from the use of Evening Primrose Oil include:
  • Eczema
  • Breast cancer cysts
  • Breast pain (mastalgia)
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome/post-viral infection symptoms
  • Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Obesity/weight loss
  • Pre-eclampsia/high blood pressure of pregnancy
  • Raynaud's phenomenon
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Scale-like dry skin (ichthyosis vulgaris)
  • Skin irritation (atopic dermatitis in children and adults)
The claims are based mainly on traditional use over a long period of time.
