Benefits of Eating Oil-Free Vegan Dishes (and some Oil-Free Recipes for you to make)

Oil-free vegan dishes might just be the right choice for you.
The Benefits of Eating Oil-Free
Oils Hardly Have Nutritional Benefits
The oil that we purchase at the market undergoes a very tedious process that strips them of nutrition. Although oils contain essential fats, it still lacks the nutrition you would get by eating whole foods. That is why a better alternative would be to eat avocados, nuts, and chia seeds, which contain essential fats such as omega-3. These examples also contain other nutrients such as carbohydrates and fibers.
Keeps Your Heart Healthy
The unsaturated and monounsaturated fats contained in oils are harmful to your circulatory system. These fats could build up on your endothelium (the inside lining of your arteries), causing high blood pressure which may then lead to cardiac arrest.
Oil-free Vegan Recipes
Now that we’ve discussed some of the benefits of removing oil from your diet, here are some recipes that you can try!
