May boost heart and skin health

Particularly abundant in mono- and polyunsaturated fats, poppyseed oil may be good for your heart and skin. Unsaturated fat-rich diets may up to 17 percent lower your risk of heart attacks and stroke, according to research. It may be especially beneficial to substitute unsaturated fats for saturated fats in your diet. Remember that eating a diet high in omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids may make you more susceptible to inflammation and illness. As a result, it may be preferable to refrain from regularly taking high amounts of omega-6-rich oils, such as poppyseed oil.

Additional study reveals that the lipids in poppyseed oil may aid in the healing of wounds and shield the skin against scaly sores. Your risk of heart disease may be reduced by using poppyseed oil. More research is required, however, it may also promote wound healing and prevent scaly skin diseases.
