which oil is best for body - #23728
I am super confused about which oil is best for body health. I’ve been trying to eat better lately and started cooking everything at home, but then I realize I don’t know much about oils. The other day, I used olive oil for stir-frying veggies, but my friend said that’s not the best use for it. I also tried coconut oil for making some baked goods, but then someone mentioned that can be unhealthy in some ways, and I'm like…”what??” I even read somewhere that avocado oil is great but can be pretty pricey. Is it really worth it? My mom always said butter is best, but I know that's kinda old school now, right? I was wondering which oil is best for body in general, like for cooking and maybe even for skin or hair? Also, we made a salad with some flaxseed oil, and I gotta say, the flavor was just... off? Is there a better oil for salads? And what is the deal with canola oil? Should I even be using that? I feel like I’m always second-guessing myself! Would love your opinions on which oil is best for body because I want to feel good about what I put in my body but it’s soooo overwhelming!! Would it help to mix oils or just stick to one? Please help!
