Description
Rapeseed oil, and also canola oil, is rich in omega 3 of vegetable origin, that is, in alpha linolenic acid or ALA, which according to scientists from France could prevent strokes by improving the arrival of blood to the brain, stimulating neurogenesis and reverse or prevent cerebral ischemia.
This is also pointed out in a review published in Nutrition Reviews where it is also concluded that canola oil is beneficial for the treatment of dyslipidaemia and metabolic diseases such as obesity or diabetes due to its anti-inflammatory effect and improving insulin sensitivity.
In addition, similar to olive oil, rapeseed oil is rich in oleic acid which can have a more favorable influence on blood lipids than high oleic sunflower oil, as confirmed in a study comparing both oils.
For all this, rapeseed or canola oil is a very good alternative to other oils, since its richness in oleic acid as well as its content in omega 3 can offer great benefits on the health of the body.
