Health Benefits of Newgrange Gold
Camelina ‘Wild Flax’ Oils & Rapeseed Oils
At Newgrange Gold, our oils are produced with the utmost respect and integrity for maintaining the health benefits of the oil. Nutritional Therapist Joanne Gribbin, Of LifeForce Nutrition, helps explain what this means:
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) – Omegas 3 & 6
Essential fats (polyunsaturated) are so named as they are essential for your health, and must be included in the diet, as they are not produced in the body. Getting the balance of essential fats is key to long-lasting health.
Omega 3: Omega 3 fatty acids are highly anti-inflammatory. They help to regulate our immune system and they the essential in balancing good and bad cholesterol ratios.
Omega 6: Along with Omega 3, Omega 6 fatty acids are essential for the brain, bone and skin development and health, the metabolism and regulation of the immune system. Omega 3 and Omega 6 help to regulate inflammation in the body – Omega 6 tends to promote inflammation, highlighting the need for balance of essential fats in the diet.
Benefits of choosing Newgrange Gold Oils
Newgrange Gold Oils are cold-pressed. This means the oil is not heated during the manufacturing process and therefore maintains all of its health benefits. This is something which everyone should ensure when choosing a culinary oil.
Rapeseed oil contains higher levels of omega 3 fats compared to other unsaturated fat oils, such as olive oil. It also has high levels of Vitamin E, an anti-oxidant, which naturally protects the oil from oxidation and rancidity.
Newgrange Gold Camelina Sativa ‘Wild Flax Oil’ and Rapeseed Oil has very low saturated fat content, so this oil is the perfect oil to use to help lower and balance cholesterol levels, naturally.
How to Get More Healthy Fats into your Diet
Using Newgrange Gold oils as a base for a salad dressing, or adding a tablespoon into a healthy smoothie are really easy ways of increasing your intake of healthy fats without heating the oil,and therefore maintaining all of the health benefits the oils has to offer.
Use Newgrange Gold oils as a base for a marinade or dipping sauce.
If you choose to cook with a Newgrange Gold Oil, only use it to sauté at a low temperature. This will ensure the oil does not over-heat which can damage the oils chemical structure and reduce its health benefits.
Always store your Newgrange Gold Oils away from direct heat and sunlight to maintain their quality and array of health benefits.
