What kind of oil should be cooking with diabetes? Two out of three diabetics die of a heart attack or stroke, so that people with diabetes should be sure to cook with oils that promote heart health.
What oils support a healthy heart?
Oils rich in mono-and polyunsaturated help reduce blood cholesterol and is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Here are my five favorite home-healthy oils:
Walnut oil is a polyunsaturated fat and high in omega 3. It has a smoke point of 400 degrees F, making it ideal for cooking, fry at low and medium level of heat, or simply sprinkled on the bread! (Think of bruschetta.)
Flaxseed oil is also a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega 3. However, it has a much lower smoke point than 225 degrees F, so that should not be cooked. Treat agitation in linguine and salad dressings.
Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat, with a smoke point of 325 degrees F. It is used for cooking over medium heat. Olive oil is also an excellent source of oleic acid, which has been linked to insulin work better and reduce blood sugar, which remain important for diabetics. When buying olive oil, trying to find virgin olive oil, which is less processed than other types.
Avocado oil is a monounsaturated fat high smoke point of 510 ° F, making it ideal for high heat cooking such as browning or frying.
Grape seed oil is a polyunsaturated fat that is low in saturated fat. It has a high smoke point of 420 degrees F, which is excellent for cooking.
