Goodbye Inflammation, Hello Health: Why Cold-Pressed Oils Are Essential
At Indiyeah, we believe that food is medicine, and the oils we use are no exception. Refined oils, which gradually replaced traditional cold-pressed oils, have become a staple in many kitchens due to their convenience and affordability. Their lower cost and ease of use made them a popular choice, but their harmful effects remained largely unnoticed for a long time. Over time, this oversight has contributed to the rise of chronic health conditions. However, recent research has shed light on the hidden dangers of refined oils, prompting a growing shift back toward healthier, nutrient-rich cold-pressed oils.
What Makes Refined Oils Unhealthy?
Refined oils undergo industrial processes involving high heat, chemicals, and bleaching agents to extract and purify the oil. While these methods increase yield and shelf life, they strip the oil of essential nutrients and introduce harmful substances, making them detrimental to health.
Key Problems with Refined Oils
-
Nutrient Depletion
During refining, essential nutrients like vitamins, antioxidants, and phytochemicals are destroyed. These natural compounds play a crucial role in fighting inflammation and supporting overall health. -
Inflammatory Omega-6 Overload
Refined oils such as sunflower, soybean, and corn oils are loaded with omega-6 fatty acids. While omega-6 is essential in moderation, an excess (common in modern diets) can disrupt the omega-3 balance, triggering chronic inflammation. -
Toxic Byproducts
Trans Fats: High-temperature processing creates trans fats, which are strongly linked to heart disease and inflammation.
Oxidized Fats: Heat and chemical exposure oxidize the fats, forming compounds that damage cells and exacerbate inflammation.
Chemical Residues:Â Solvents like hexane used during refining may leave toxic residues, posing additional health risks.
Inflammation and Chronic Diseases
Research links chronic inflammation to lifestyle diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Refined oils, with their pro-inflammatory properties, contribute significantly to these conditions by:
- Increasing levels of inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP).
- Generating free radicals that accelerate cellular damage.
At Indiyeah, we are committed to bringing you oils that celebrate purity, nutrition, and wellness. Our cold-pressed oils are crafted using traditional techniques that preserve their natural goodness, ensuring they are as close to nature as possible.
