01 AVOCADO OIL

Pressed from every millennial's favourite toast topper, avocado oil distills the full range of health perks of the fruit down to a simple pour.

According to a review published in Molecules, around 70% of fats in this slick kitchen addition are monounsaturated. In other words, you're getting the kind that helps lower LDL cholesterolnot causes it to skyrocket. It also doubles up as an effective moisturiser, according to research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Try this one from African Oils.

02 OLIVE OIL

Packed with healthy fats, no pantry-or serious meal plan-is complete without a stiff bottle of olive oil. A study published in the Journal of Science of Food and Agriculture found that the oil almost always contains high quantities of elenolide, an agent that has been found to help combat high blood pressure. Further studies have discovered that olive oil can help protect your brain and may even reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's. We like Rio Largo's decanters.
