PALM OIL AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS
With the start of New Year, People make a list of resolutions from reaching time to the office to giving quality time at home, doing regular exercise or yoga and of course taking care of their health.
Today we are living in a busy world where man has become more like a machine. From 9-5 jobs, taking care of family and being socially active has become a routine affair.
There are many factors that affect our health. One of the important factors is the usage of oil that we use in our daily lives. Being a mom, wife, chef, and teacher to my kids, I keep on searching for good healthy options with which my family can adopt a healthy lifestyle.
I have recently attended a very informative event about the importance of palm oil in our daily lives. The Palm oil, Gourmet Delight event was organised at @ador.2.1, Connaught Place, New Delhi by Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC),.
At the event, I felt glad to receive special insights from Dr. Bhavna Shah, Country Representative – India/Sri Lanka of #MPOC
She briefed us about a number of health benefits of using Palm oil. I was not aware that palm oil is there in lots of food products like cookies, desserts, cleaning detergents, chocolates and even cosmetics that we use.
HOW PALM OIL IS BENEFICIAL FOR US
Malaysian palm oil is naturally free of trans-fatty acids. It is a healthy replacement for traditional hydrogenated oils, such as soy and canola.
PALM OIL has so many benefits and is available in so many products these days which we use in our daily lives. It is widely used in many industries, food factories, and cosmetics, pharma industries. From cookies, chocolates, cosmetics that we use in our daily lives.
SOURCE OF PALM OIL
Palm oil is edible vegetable oil which is derived from the mesocarp of the fruit of the oil palms. The palm industry contributes to Malaysia’s economic success and is helping to eradicate poverty and unemployment while contributing to a healthy environment.
Palm oil is the most efficient oil-bearing crop. Unlike most other oil crops, each oil palm tree produces fruit year-round for more than 25 years.
However, the product retains much of its red color, since 80% of the carotenoids originally present in the crude palm oil are retained.
