What do you understand by healthy oils?
When assessing whether an oil is considered healthy or not, special attention is paid to the composition of the oil. Each oil is composed of various fatty acids and possibly secondary plant ingredients, vitamins and essential oils. These are largely responsible for whether the oil is classified as healthy or not.
The fatty acids are particularly important in assessing the oil. Especially the essential fatty acids (these are fatty acids that the body needs but cannot produce itself) omega-3 and omega-6 are important here. The ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids should ideally be 1:5.
With the average diet, however, a ratio of 1:20 is usually more likely to be achieved, which is why it is important, especially in the case of oils, which are a main supplier of these fatty acids alongside sea fish, to ensure that they have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids. It is also important that the fatty acids occurring in the oil are unsaturated fatty acids, since these can lower as can be prove the risk for cardiovascular diseases. Due to these and further criteria the following oils rank among the oils considered as healthy: Olive oil, sunflower oil, linseed oil, walnut oil, Kokosöl, Schwarzkümmel and others.
What is health coaching?
Health coaching is first of all a profession in the health care system, whose activities cover a wide range of health issues. It serves as an instruction for self-help for a healthy life. Health coaching can take place as individual as well as group coaching and can be organized either in the company or privately.
The tasks of a health coach are to assess and analyze the current health situation in order to recognize problems and to work together with the client on the solution of the problems in order to improve or optimize the overall health situation. After the analysis of the problems, there are various approaches to health coaching that can lead to a solution or clarification of the problems. These include health training, for example in the form of role plays, relaxation techniques, visualization of the problems or cognitive restructuring, education and advice from the health coach using various communication models or a better general health management. Many companies now offer one-day seminars or workshops in health coaching for their employees to maintain and promote their health.
