1 Are you eating a balanced diet?

2 Do you know WHAT A BALANCED DIET IS?

3 Eating a balanced diet means choosing a variety of foods & drinks from all the food groups

4 Health Canada recommends 2-3 Tbsp of oil/day (such as canola oil) + your other 4 food groups

5 All fats oils are made up of fatty acids

6 Saturated fat is a solid fat at room temperature

7 Saturated fat raises the lousy LDL cholesterol in your blood

8 Unsaturated fat is a liquid fat at room temperature

9 Most of the fat that you eat should come from unsaturated fatty acid sources: Polyunsaturated fats Monounsaturated fats

10 Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (sometimes referred to as Omega-9 fatty acids) may reduce risk of coronary heart disease by lowering lousy LDL cholesterol in the blood

11 Canola oil is 61% Monounsaturated fatty acids

12 Polyunsaturated fats can also be broken down into two types: Omega-3 fatty acids Omega-6 fatty acids

13 Omega-3 fatty acids protect against heart attacks and strokes.

14 Canola oil is 11% Omega-3 fatty acids

15 Omega-6 fatty acids are important for the brain and essential for the growth and development of infants

16 Canola oil is 21% Omega-6 fatty acids

17 Trans-fat or trans-fatty acids raise your lousy (LDL) cholesterol and lower your healthy (HDL) cholesterol.

18 Canola oil is trans-fat and cholesterol free.

19 Fat has many roles in our diet.

20 - source of energy for our bodies

21 - insulation

22 - transports fat-soluble vitamins

23 Nutritional breakdown of (refined) canola oil per 2 tsp. (10 ml): 83 calories 9.2 g fat

24 Benefits of Using Canola Oil

25 Lowest level of saturated fatty acids of any vegetable oil

26 High in monounsaturated fatty acids which may help to reduce blood cholesterol levels

27 Involved in prevention and treatment of high blood cholesterol, lipid levels and thrombosis - blood clots

28 Can lower abdominal fat when used in place of other selected oil blends

29 Reduced waistline Results showed that those who consumed canola or high-oleic canola oils on a daily basis for 4 weeks lowered their belly fat by 1.6%.

30 Canola reduces lousy cholesterol in the body which will: decrease risk for heart disease

31 -decrease inflammation of the arteries

32 - protect against breast & colon cancers

33 - have anti-blood clotting and anti-oxidative effects

34 - improve immune & cardiovascular health

35 - Help with blood sugar control

36 Help control blood glucose in people with type-2 diabetes

37 Canola Oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, Vitamin E and K which makes it a great remedy for skin and hair woes.

38 Vitamin E Content/Tbsp (mg) Vitamin E 2.4 mg in 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of classic canola.

39 Vitamin E protects against oxidative damage may also protect against cancer and heart disease

40 Vitamin K Content/Tbsp ( g) Vitamin K μg per 100g of canola oil

41 1 Tbsp of canola oil = 25% of the daily requirements for Vitamin K

42 Vitamin K - plays a role in blood clotting bone metabolism

43 Is Canola Margarine Better than Butter?

44 Yes! Recommended as a heart-healthy choice

45 Canola margarine is healthier and affordable (lower cost) compared to butter.

46 Best choice of margarines: Soft, tub-style canola margarine that states non-hydrogenated or soft on the label.

47 Canola is a Healthy Solution for Baking

48 Reduces total fat and can replace high saturated or transfat in most recipes.

49 A Healthy Addition to Smoothies

50 Provides a good ratio of mono and polyunsaturated fats with low levels of saturated fats.

51 High-Smoke Point

52 Conversion to trans fatty acids upon heating is minimal even after extensive frying time.

53 Canola Oil can be Cold Pressed

54 Cold pressed canola has higher levels of antioxidants - the free molecules that help fight off cellular damage.

55 All canola oil is high quality, heart-healthy, affordable and ideal for any type of cooking.

56 Using canola oil in combination with a healthy, balanced diet will help individuals meet their dietary fat recommendations.

57 "Canola oil can now be regarded as one of the healthiest edible vegetable oils in terms of its biological functions" -Peter Jones, Ph.D. Lead researcher and director of the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals at the University of Manitoba.

58 Canola is the Heart-Healthy Choice!
