Saturated fats don’t help in the process of keeping your body healthy, as it clogs up your arteries. This increases the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol is a fatty substance which is found in the blood, and plays an essential role in how every cell works. Too much fat in your diet, especially saturated fat, increases your blood cholesterol level which in turn puts you at a higher risk of Coronary Heart disease and strokes, due to excess fat lining your arteries. Thus reducing the free flowing, healthy blood to vital organs.

To help reduce your cholesterol level you should minimize the amount of saturated fat intake in your diet. This can be done by reducing the amount of saturated fat consumed and increasing your intake of Omega 3, 6 and 9. By using Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed Rapeseed oil with its low saturated fat and high Omega content, it is a healthier option to other cooking oils and ingredients. How this works is by the Omega’s acting as a Hoover while passing though your arteries, collecting cholesterol fatty substance on its way, by breaking down the excess fatty lining.
