We are thinking oils/fats are harmful to
our body. Yes! Its true but we should not avoid totally, isn't it? A healthy body needs
some fat, which contains as nutrients. Our body uses dietary fat to make tissue
and manufacture biochemicals such as hormones. Dietary fibre are classified by
their structure, different types of fats react differently inside the body. So
we need to intake some good amount of oil in our routine diet, right? But at
the same time we cannot intake any types of edible oil; we have to think smart to choose our cooking oil which should be right
to our body system.

Free Radicals
- What
are free radicals - Free radicals are harmful unstable molecule that naturally formed in the body during any oxidative process like
conversion of food into energy.
- How
it increases - The free radicals increases due to
factors like smoking, alcohol, air pollution, infection, stress, excessive
sunlight and toxins.
- Effect
of Free radicals – If free radicals over whelm the
body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress which
affects lipids, proteins, DNA and it triggers many diseases like coronary artery disease, arteries blocking and cell damage. So we need to tackle the problem? And the solution to prevent free radicals are... ?
Antioxidants
- What
are Antioxidants – A substance that scavenges free radicals (inhibits oxidation free radicals), especially one used to counteract the deterioration of stored food products.
- Antioxidants prevent free radical
induced tissue damage by preventing the formation of radicals.
- Antioxidants protect our cells and arrest
cellular damage thus decreasing the risk of heart diseases.
- Antioxidants are known to reduce
oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol) thus help maintain strong heart.
- Help in scavenging (mopping) bad free
radicals and help maintaining cell integrity (or health)
- Prevent
clogging of arteries/ blockage of arteries.
- Help
in keeping arteries healthy.
Cooking
oil with high amount of anti-oxidants will helps in fighting all these effects. Oil is
important factor that determines your heart health.
Especially, in countries like India,
where the cooking oil is habitually heated to high temperature that result in
the formation of free radicals. Considering the high consumption of cooking
oils in the country and high cooking temperatures. We could make baking also with the oil. Oils with maximum
anti-oxidant power are ideal to tackle the problem at its root.

Why
Saffola Total ?
- While quantity of oil used is important,
the quality of oil is equally important.
- ‘Saffola Total’ has two times the Antioxidant Power compared to even Olive
oil. Which means Saffola total is much more potent than olive oils in terms
of antioxidants.
- Antioxidants are known to fight free
radicals which are responsible for cell damage in the body.
- Saffola Total is recommended by leading
Nutritionists across the country.
- While
Saffola Total has high anti-oxidant potential, it has various other benefits
which work at 3 ends. While frying it has become cautious to make sure that the
undesirable/harmful components formed during frying can be reduced to the best.
Anti-oxidants in Saffola total help do just that.
- When
storing oil at home or on the shelf the
free radicals in the air cause the oil to deteriorate again the role of
anti-oxidants is to help prevent that and this results in a better quality
product for you and your family.
- Even
in the body anti-oxidants are needed to scavenge free radicals, and help in a
healthier lifestyle. Saffola Total is unique oil with all these benefits.
10%
Lower Absorbance
- Saffola Total has the added advantage of
Losorb Technology. i.e. Saffola Total
has up to 10 % lower absorption capacity as compared to other oils.
- Based on external lab studies on sunflower
oil, soybean, canola (Saffola Total has shown 18% Lower Absorption over
soybean, 16% Lower Absorption over sunflower, 20% Lower Absorption over canola)
Low Absorption oil is best for making deep fried recipes
(Vada, Poori, Samosa etc... ),
as it does not drunk more oil when compared to other oils.
I happy about the low absorption benefit, we can make some guilt
free deep fry snacks.

two oils (Rice bran and Safflower oil) in one.
