Question 1

What makes an oil “healthy”?

Accepted Answer

Healthy oils are rich in unsaturated fats, especially omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids. These fats help reduce inflammation, support heart and brain health, and promote overall well-being. Look for cold-pressed, unrefined oils to ensure maximum nutrients.

Question 2

Should I avoid all saturated fats?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Some saturated fats, like those in coconut oil, can be okay in small amounts. However, excessive intake of saturated or trans fats (like those in processed foods) can raise LDL cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. Focus more on unsaturated fats for better health.

Question 3

Why is omega-3 so important?

Accepted Answer

Since your body can’t produce omega-3s, you must get them from food or supplements.

Question 4

Can I get enough healthy fats from food alone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it’s not always easy, especially with today’s processed diets. Many people consume too much omega-6 and too little omega-3. That’s why high-quality supplements from Jannis Health can help you stay balanced and thrive.

Question 5

Are all vegetable oils bad?

Accepted Answer

Not all, but many common ones like corn, soybean, and sunflower oil are too high in omega-6 fats. Use them in moderation, and opt for healthier oils like flaxseed, olive, hempseed, or walnut oil when possible.
