Healthiest oil for cooking?

No doubt extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest for cooking. It contains a high degree of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which have a positive impact on heart health by reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels. Its oxidation rate is relatively low, which makes it stable and safe to use at low to medium heat, such as sautéing or light frying.

The avocado oil and the refined coconut oil are used more for high-temperature cooking because their smoke point is higher. Both are healthy fats in which avocado oil contains monounsaturated fats while coconut oil is full of MCTs that help much for the energy metabolism.

According to Guinness World Record, this fruit has up to 23 grams of sugar for every 100 grams of fruit. Rich, tropical flavors and a soft, juicy texture make it the best accompaniment to desserts or snacks, blended into smoothies.

Bananas are known for rich potassium and will give about 358 mg of potassium per 100 grams. It is the mineral which regulates fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signals. Bananas are also easy to digest, so bananas are used by popular athletes who prevent cramps and restore electrolytes in their body.
