New Delhi, April 24 (IANS). In today’s busy life and irregular daily routine, wrong eating habits are causing great harm to health. In such a situation, using excess oil in food is like playing with health. This proves to be extremely harmful for the body. Health experts believe that excessive oil consumption plays an important role in causing not only obesity but also many other serious diseases.
In such a situation, it is important to control the amount of oil in daily food. The National Health Mission (NHM) also gives some suggestions for this. According to NHM, balanced use of oil is the key to a healthy life. If we make some changes in our diet and adopt some easy habits, we can not only avoid obesity but also reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and other problems. Health experts say that small precautions give big benefits in the long run.
The easiest way to limit the use of oil is to use small spoons instead of pouring it directly into the pot. With this, the habit of adding too much oil unknowingly can be controlled. Apart from this, it is also very important to reduce the consumption of fried foods, because they contain high amount of calories and become the main reason for weight gain.
Experts recommend giving preference to steamed, roasted or grilled food. The amount of oil in this type of food is less and the nutrients are also preserved better. Also, while cooking at home, it is important to use light oil and take care of the right quantity.
According to the Health Department, obesity is the root of many diseases and one of its major reasons is unbalanced eating habits. In such a situation, if the use of oil is controlled in time, then better health can be achieved.
