If you though eating fried foods does not harm you too much then you need to think again. Consuming a diet that is rich in oil not only hampers your health it has a negative impact on your skin and other aspects of your health.A diet that is rich in oil and fats is the main cause for skin issues like acne, pimples, zits and formation of blackheads and whiteheads on the skin. On a more serious note, oil is the leading cause of heart related disorders and other health issues. Here is how you can reduce the amount of oil you consume daily.

Firstly you need to start adding raw foods in your diet. This means that on an average you need to eat 4 servings of fruits and raw vegetables daily. You may processed these fruits and veggies into juices but if you add them to food preparations or add any products like sugar or milk to them then it does not count in your raw food consumption for the day.

Look at healthier ways to cook your food. Baked food and grilled food is as delicious as fried foods so try variations in your food preparations. Swap your vegetable oil with olive oil; this is your best and healthiest option. Olive oil heats quickly so you need a very small amount to cook.

Butter is a source of oil too so you may want to keep account of how much butter you consume daily. The same can be said for cheese. Peanut butter and other nut butters also contain natural oils and hence you need to watch how much of these foods you consume. Look for low fat varieties when you are shopping for groceries; these are low in fats and oil and are a healthier option.

Another way to reduce the amount of oil you consume daily is to avoid adding salad dressing to your salads. All salad dressings contain oil in them and thus you unknowingly have a huge amount of oil that impacts your health adversely. If you are eating a salad then you need to eat only the veggies and fruits; it is also a fun way to increase the amount of raw food you consume daily.
