Imagine your favourite food is sizzling in the pan, and you are waiting to devour it after a heavy workout. Think again! Is it helping you in your health journey?
For decades, we have used traditional oils without questioning their impact.
With changing lifestyles, we have progressed to using varied options, but with a surge in lifestyle disorders, let's agree that just using expensive oils isn't going to help you in your health journey.
If your cooking oil isn't working for your health
, it's not working for you. Here's a game-changer for your kitchen and your body -
Rice Bran Oil
.
Most of the conventional oils we use - whether for frying, sautéing, or baking are high in saturated fats and low in essential nutrients.
They affect heart health, slow down metabolism, and silently lead the way for chronic illnesses. Yet, most people are unaware of this fact and keep using the same oils due to the lack of a better alternative.
Rice bran oil twists the plot.
Derived from the outer layer of rice grains, rice bran oil is packed with health-boosting compounds your body deserves. A senior gastroenterologist & Chairman of
AIG Dr. Nageshwar Reddy,
who has minutely studied the correlation between rice bran oil and gut health in a large number of people, strongly recommends the substitution of olive oil with rice bran oil, along with regular physical activity.
Rice bran oil promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, leading to a healthy balance of gut microbiomes. Coming from experts and specialists, rice bran oil is definitely here to stay.
The hidden hero in your kitchen
Rice bran oil is not just another cooking oil. It's a health revolution waiting to be discovered by you. Loaded with
oryzanol
, an antioxidant powerhouse, rice bran oil fights bad cholesterol (LDL) and boosts good cholesterol (HDL).
What more? Oryzanol is only available in Rice Bran oil and is not present in other, more expensive oils; moreover, it is not found in any other food item. From breakfast to dinner, here's an oil that meets your everyday kitchen needs while promoting a healthier, more active you.
Freedom Rice Bran Oil
goes a step further. Freedom Rice Bran Oil uses a physically refined process, preserving the natural goodness of the oil without any harmful chemicals. This process makes it
clean, potent, and packed with higher oryzanol and tocopherols & tocotrienols (natural antioxidants)
, making it a smarter choice for your health and taste buds.
What makes it ideal for Indian cooking is that it has a high smoke point (around 232°C). So unlike olive oil, it doesn't break down when you fry, sauté, or simmer and goes well with any cooking technique. Another big advantage of rice bran oil is its neutral taste. While olive oil has a slightly fruity taste and is ideal for lower-heat cooking and dressings, rice bran oil emerges as a clear winner, as it doesn't impact the taste of the food.
Rice bran oil is not just a healthier, more economical but a tastier alternative too!
Switch to better health - Switch to Freedom Rice Bran Oil
It's time to change our perspective on oils, as cooking oil is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.
Every drizzle, every tadka, every stir-fry, can either fuel your body or slow it down. Switching to a healthy, nutrient-rich oil like Freedom Rice Bran Oil is an effective step towards healthy living. It isn't just a smart switch- it's a revolution for your health.

Air pollution is a greater threat than tobacco, says doctor
Former director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences-Delhi and renowned pulmonologist Randeep Guleria issued a stark warning about the public health crisis posed by air pollution, calling it a greater threat than tobacco, during an address in Hyderabad on Tuesday, celebrated as National Doctors' Day. Speaking at the event organised by the Indian Medical Association, Dr. Guleria urged the medical community to adopt the 'One Health' approach that integrates human, animal and environmental health. 'Air pollution is a silent killer,' Dr. Guleria said, citing recent studies that attribute 8.1 million deaths globally in 2021 to air pollution, a toll greater than that of COVID-19. He said the rise of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders has overtaken communicable diseases as the dominant health burden in India, particularly in southern States. 'Air pollution is now among the top three causes of death and disability globally, and we are not paying enough attention,' he said. Highlighting how particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometres can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, Dr. Guleria explained its link to a range of diseases, including asthma, strokes, dementia, low birth weight, and even osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. 'We now have evidence that air pollution is linked to type 1 and type 2 diabetes, reproductive issues and even spontaneous abortions,' he said. He also drew attention to the disproportionate impact of poor air quality in Indian cities. He referred to a recent study covering ten Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Varanasi and Shimla, that showed a 1.4% rise in daily mortality associated with PM2.5 exposure, even at pollution levels below India's current permissible standards. 'This is not a Delhi problem. It is a Hyderabad problem, a Varanasi problem, a Srinagar problem. The entire nation is breathing poison,' he said. He also warned that current Indian air quality standards are far above what the World Health Organization recommends, and called for urgent revision and implementation. 'Pandemics are not rare anymore. In the last 25 years, we have seen two global pandemics and several major outbreaks. This is directly tied to how we are treating the planet,' he said. He concluded with a call for collaborative, multi-sectoral action. 'We need doctors, veterinarians, environmental scientists, urban planners, and policy-makers to work together. Without a unified approach, we will keep losing lives, silently and steadily to the air we breathe and the systems we ignore.' The event was attended by Indian Medical Association (IMA) national president Dilip Bhanushali, IMA Telangana president Dwarkanath Reddy and AIG Hospital chairman D. Nageshwar Reddy among other senior doctors.

‘UP's push to AYUSH to create jobs, strengthen rural economy'
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh is expected to witness a surge in demand for medicinal crops as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has announced plans to start 100-bed ayurvedic wellness centres in every district and establish AYUSH colleges in six underserved divisions, officials said. The CM announced the expansion of AYUSH services across the state during the inauguration of Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University in Gorakhpur on Tuesday. "The vision will give a push to holistic healthcare and rural growth by boosting the demand for medicinal crops. This will enhance farmers' incomes and create jobs across cultivation, processing, and supply chains, strengthening rural economy," an official said. "Data trends show that the export of Ayurvedic products rose dramatically from USD 2.85 million in 2014 to USD 18 billion in 2020. This underscores an increasing international trust and demand for traditional Indian health systems," he said. "CM Yogi Adityanath has a personal and traditional association with yoga and Ayurveda and holds great influence as the leader of the Nath sect. He is taking steps to make UP a hub for health tourism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sharp Design, Smoother Drives.

Key medicinal crops eligible for govt subsidy include sarpagandha, ashwagandha, brahmi, kalmegh, kaunch, shatavari, tulsi, aloe vera, vach, artemisia, giloy, amla, and jatamansi, which are eligible for subsidies ranging from 30 to 75%. "The govt is encouraging farmers to cultivate a single type of medicinal plant collectively in clusters to attract direct market access," the official added. This potential is reinforced by the presence of premier central govt institutions in Lucknow, including the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) and the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP). "These institutions are not only engaged in cutting-edge research but also actively support grassroots medicinal farming by training farmers and promoting best practices," they said.
