Is gingely oil good for health?Why?
Sesame oil (Gingeley oil) has a lowering effect on blood pressure and levels of sodium in the blood.( A study done in India and reported in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine shows that when subjects with high blood pressure were asked to consume sesame oil for 45 days, their blood pressure returned to normal readings. It was also documented that the research subjects lost weight while undergoing the addition of sesame oil. The effects were temporary, however.). When the participants stopped taking the sesame oil, their blood pressure readings went back up. This could be in part to the fact that the sesame oil lowered sodium content in the body, acting as a diuretic.
Sesame oil also is good for blood sugar levels. A report in the Journal of Medicinal Foods labeled sesame oil as having an influence on the lowering of glucose.
The antioxidants in sesame oil impart benefits to the skin from the inside. It helps enhance the effects of vitamin E and other antioxidants, but it also benefits the skin when used on the outside.Its antioxidant properties are effective in the lowering of blood pressure and cholesterol, believed to be due to the polyunsaturated fatty-acids contained in gingelly oil.
