Dietetics Sports Nutritionist explains, “All the plant oils have different compositions of fatty acids which give us essential healthy fats and different types of Polyunsaturated Fatty acids and Unsaturated Fatty acids which perform a lot of functions in our body, from energy to immunity, they help in all.” However, she cautions, “Quantity is the king, limit your oil content to 3-4 teaspoons in the entire day.” Oil is the heart of almost every favourite Indian dish.
