🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip #18 🌿

Give Up the Refined Oils
(Eat fats that love you back.)

Not all calories are equal.
Not all fats are friends.

Seed oils like canola, soybean, sunflower, and corn oil might be common — but they’re not neutral.
They’re highly processed, easily oxidized, and often stripped of real nutrients.
When you eat them regularly, they can quietly inflame your joints, your gut, and your cells.

Here’s the tip:
Check your labels this week.
Start reducing — or removing — refined vegetable oils from your food.
Look for:
→ Canola
→ Soybean
→ Corn
→ Sunflower
→ Safflower

Choose whole, nourishing fats instead:
→ Olive oil
→ Avocados
→ Ghee
→ Coconut oil
→ Grass-fed butter
→ Nuts, seeds, and fish (if tolerated)

Why it matters:

• Reduces systemic inflammation

• Supports hormone and brain health

• Improves gut lining and skin clarity

• Balances omega-6 to omega-3 ratios

• Helps your body heal, not just survive

You don’t need to fear fat —
You just need to stop eating fake fat.

Try it this week:
Choose one swap.
→ Cook with ghee or avocado oil
→ Use avocado instead of mayo
→ Read ingredient labels like they matter — because they do

Reflection:
What would your body feel like if every bite moved you toward healing?

Yours in nourishment,
