Nutritionist Supriya Bhattarai has said that there are many people asking which oil to use and since the quality is also linked here, it is more important to eat this oil and not to eat that, and how much to eat. He expressed his views in the interaction on 'How is the quality of edible oil?' organized by Kantipur on Monday:

Food contains macro and micronutrients . Our bodies need a lot of macros, which include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Along with this comes the matter of calories . Every moment we work, the body is burning calories . Micronutrients provide most of the calories. Oil contains calories. Carbohydrates are provided by rice.

There have been many studies about the oils we use. Now the question of which oil to eat and which not to eat is important. Now it comes to me that 'I don't eat oil, I only eat ghee'. Ghee also contains saturated fat . It has 20 percent 'profit'. That's why quantity becomes so important.

Many people ask me which oil to use. Here quality also comes together . We are saying - eat this oil, don't eat that. But what to eat is a matter of your choice but how much to eat is important. Even if you eat good oil, it won't do you any good if you eat too much .

Our Nepali cooking style has more of a tendency to imitate . Olive oil is considered good for this. I looked at a study. In that study, it is written that 500 ml of oil should be used in a month. How is this possible for us? So be careful about what food you are cooking. If you are having a

party, please use refined oil . If you want to eat salad, use olive oil . There are also those who use coconut oil. Eating deep fried foods every day will damage your heart .

The method I have been using myself is 'rotation of oil'. I change the oil I am using every three months. Mustard oil is always there as we have been using mustard oil since childhood . Mustard oil contains an acid, which is not allowed to be used in America and Europe.

We have been using mustard oil here for a long time. The advantage of mustard oil is that it can be fried and fried. I used mustard for three months and next month refined oil . I'm fat now, if not healthy I use olive oil .

Transfat is not good for health . What to do now? As much as possible, it is best not to eat foods that are fried in oil. Don't eat oiled and fried food while eating out. Not by eating food cooked in used oil outside and managing healthy food at home .
