Cold press oil - #668

Oh, oils, they’re not just for cooking, you know! In Ayurveda, they can be quite transformative, especially for diabetes and thyroid concerns. Both conditions need some tender care with dietary fat. Cold-pressed oils are defiantly a good place to start since they retain lots nutrients and are less processed. I’d say cold-pressed coconut oil is pretty versatile. It’s great for all seasons usually. Coconut oil’s got a cooling vibe which helps balance Pitta and regulate agni, or digestive fire. It’s also known to have some effect on insulin secretion, but you know, always balanced with advice from your doctor, alright? Now in winters, maybe turn to sesame oil. It’s warming. Love that for keeping your body insulated and cozy. It can be grounding, especially for Vata types, perfect when the chilly air hits. For thyroid, maintaining warmth aids metabolism. Sesame oil is rich in zinc, which thyroid loves! Olive oil, cold-pressed of course, is another goody. Super for Pitta dosha - moderation is key as it's heavier oil. But hey, it's good in salad dressings and dips for that Mediterranean twist. All-year-round, benefits like monounsaturated fats and anti-inflammatory properties… not bad, really. Though these oils are generally safe, moderation is key. Individual constitution - Prakriti - play their role. Hey, if there’s any specific imbalance or symptom, always loop in your Ayurvedic practitioner for more tailored stuff. And really, keep an eye on how your body feels. Your feedback system is hugely valuable! Small amounts, around half to one teaspoon daily, is often a sweet spot for most. And yeah, monitor your health stats like glucose n thyroid function with your regular medical treatments and tests. Safe is sexy!
