One of these is cold pressing is a mechanical method that does not use heat treatment. It is the oldest and most natural method. But cold pressure, unlike normal consumption, has a significant effect on the degradation of nutrients.2. Valuable health benefits
The NNKT includes polyunsaturated acids, among which we distinguish two main groups: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Fatty oils often provide a wide range of beneficial bioactive substances, including blood pressure regulation. Additionally, these acids affect the proper functioning of the visual organs. The normal diet has less omega-3 fatty acid and the content of omega-6 is increased (e.g. in meat, eggs, and protein). Fats from cold-pressed oils are also beneficial for regulating blood pressure, particularly fats, carotenolic acid and tocophenic acid.3. Popular oils and their properties
The oils may be produced from seeds, sprouts, nuts or fruit and each has a different flavour and aroma.4. It's oil from the cherry blossom
It contains a valuable gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) that protects the circulatory system. It is also an ingredient in many facial, body, and hair care products. Due to its mild flavor, it is widely used in cooking. The consumption of wax oil is also beneficial in the course of atopic dermatitis. However, wax may increase the risk of bleeding, so it should not be used before surgery and in combination with medicines that affect blood clotting.
