Feli’s Special Zomi Palm Oil

Feli’s Special Zomi Palm oil comes from the fleshy fruit of oil palms unrefined hence it’s its reddish-orange color.
The main source of palm oil is the Elaeis guineensis tree, which is native to the coastal countries of West and Southwest Africa, like Ghana. It has a long history of use in these regions.

Feli’s Special Zomi Palm oil is now one of the least expensive and most popular oils worldwide, accounting for one-third of global plant oil production.
However, it’s important to note that palm oil should not be confused with palm kernel oil. While both originate from the same plant, palm kernel oil is extracted from the seed of the fruit. It provides different health benefits.

Health Benefits of Palm Oil
There are a number of health benefits associated with palm oil. Let us discuss them in detail below.
Improves Energy Levels
Beta-carotene is one of the prime components of palm oil which is very good for improving energy levels and boosting hormonal balance in the body. Palm oil is a natural source of antioxidant, which helps prevent oxidative damage, say researchers from Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India.
Improves Vision
Crude palm oil is a rich source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is extremely important for improving vision, as per Elsevier’s Nutrition Research. Antioxidants, found in palm oil, act as powerful defensive mechanisms for the body. They are the beneficial by-products of cellular metabolism and can protect the body from free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for cellular breakdown and mutation, including the damage that can cause vision issues. Using palm oil as a replacement for other types of oil can help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts.

Prevents Cardiovascular Issues
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition throws light on nonhypercholesterolemic effects of a palm-oil diet. Palm oil has a high content of HDL and LDL cholesterol, but even though one is good (HDL) and the other is bad (LDL), it can still create a healthier balance in your body. High levels of LDL cholesterol can increase your chances of atherosclerosis, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. By maintaining a healthy balance of cholesterol, you can ensure a healthier cardiovascular system.
Prevents Chronic Diseases
A report on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases by WHO/FAO Expert highlights the overall significance of palm oil for health. Tocopherols, a form of vitamin E, are natural antioxidants that can help prevent chronic diseases.

Supports Healthy Pregnancy
Vitamin deficiencies are some of the most dangerous conditions that are faced by pregnant women and unborn children. Vitamin A, D, and E are found in considerable quantities in palm oil, and since the body cannot naturally retain these vitamins, it is necessary to consume them in our diets. Thus, adding palm oil to the diet will ensure no occurrence of any vitamin deficiencies.
