Healthier Option: Rice Bran Oil or Avocado Oil?
I currently use 100% pure avocado oil on my lunchtime salads and when cooking salmon and a variety of seafood. I’m aware avocado oil offers a different variety of nutrients than rice bran oil and keeping a balanced diet is essential.
My question however is: ‘for a healthy diet, which oil is a better investment bought alone?’
avocado!
Like olive oil, avocado oil is predominantly monounsaturated, a property which is thought to confer distinct health benefits. The avocado as a refined cooking oil has additional advantages (Swisher, 1988).
It is unusually light, so it mixes well with other foods.
It has a mild, delicate flavor, which enhances and brings out the flavor of other foods, instead of dominating them such as olive oil and other oils.
Avocado oil withstands a high cooking temperature before breaking down, i.e. its “smoke point” is about 255C (490F), which is much higher than that of olive oil.
Fried foods presently have an undesirable health reputation, but use of olive and avocado oil could change that.
Whole fruit pulp
This is by far the most important human use of the avocado and will constitute the remainder of this article. We will look at several nutritional qualities which sometimes overlap.
Weight control
Contrary to popular assumptions, the avocado can be a helpful part of a successful weight-management program. It brings several advantages.
Its monounsaturated fat speeds up the basal metabolic rate, as compared with saturated fat.
Its high fat content gives a quicker feeling of satiation (“fullness”), thus helping to reduce overeating.
Its high fat content makes an overall sound diet more palatable, reducing the temptation to binge on foods high in sugars or saturated fats.
Its rich supply of vitamins and minerals also makes the diet more wholesome and satisfying and thus more conducive to overall health and to moderation in consumption.
The high fat content of most avocados (up to 90% of its calories) will make some people dubious about its positive effects on weight control. Not only does fat have over twice as many calories per unit weight as does carbohydrate or protein, but also if excess calories are consumed, the body apparently burns about three times as many calories when storing calories from carbohydrate or protein as it burns when calories from fat are stored….. Recent evidence, however, suggests that calories are not the whole story for body weight, with timing of both consumption and exercise as factors and with calories from fat also a possible added handicap.
Avocado is also great due to it’s high nutritional density. Its “rich supply of minerals and vitamins.” More important than a food’s calorie content is its total nutritional contribution to human needs. A good measure is nutrients per calorie.
The avocado contains little vitamin B 12 and calcium, limited zinc and modest phosphorus. Its half-a-fruit quota of riboflavin and thiamine for children is about 9.5 and 8%, respectively, hence about equal to its relative calorie contribution. But the striking thing is that no less than eight essential nutrients are apparently present in about a 2: 1 calorie ratio. ++++ three additional nutrients, potassium, copper and pantothenic acid,
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is important for the nervous system, red blood cells, teeth and gums.
Antioxidants and free radicals: cancer, cataracts and aging
The human body has two main defenses against these free radicals: enzymes and other blood compounds that depend on trace minerals and good general nutrition and three potent antioxidants vitamins C, E, and beta carotene (vitamin A precursor).
Avocado is rich in copper and iron, two mineral constituents of antioxidant enzymes. Thus, eating avocados could be an enjoyable way to help protect ourselves against cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and eye cataracts; it may even delay the processes of aging.
Avocado and olive oils are the two chief foods that are very high in monounsaturated fats, while being comparatively low in both polyunsaturated and saturated fats.
It’s an excellent source of essential protein + has been labelled a “complete food” in terms of protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids,
It’s high in Fibre..VERY high in fact! Fibre has emerged as a leading dietary component in chronic disease prevention. High fiber intake lowers the risk for cardiovascular disease, some cancers, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, and obesity” For some disorders, a mixture of both soluble and insoluble fiber appears to be most beneficial. ..and Avocado has large amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Various dietary benefits such as diabetes prevention – A diet of low fat-high carbohydrate with those on a diet lower in carbohydrates and higher in monounsaturated fat (the dominant kind in avocados). The monounsaturated diet offered better control of blood sugar levels, accompanied by lower triglycerides and higher HDL (“good” cholesterol).
The avocado is a mild-bland, oil-rich, nutrient-rich deliciously-flavored food.
sooo keep buying avocado oil for sure!
Best of luck!xxx
