The oil we want to supplement our baby must be needed by the body and must be taken from food. There are two kinds of oils: linoleic acid and α -linolenic acid. The ratio of human demand for them is: 4~6: 1, which means that about four fifths of the edible oil eaten by infants should be oil with high linoleic acid content and one fifth should be oil with high linolenic acid content.
1, perilla seed oil, linseed oil. Perilla seed oil and linseed oil are the mother of DHA (brain gold) because they contain more than 50% a- linolenic acid, which can be converted into DHA in human body. Therefore, fully supplementing α -linolenic acid can increase the content of DHA in the brain and improve the IQ of children.
According to experts in a- linolenic acid-a neglected nutrient broadcast by CCTV's "Road to Health" program, foreign studies have proved that timely and sufficient linolenic acid supplementation can improve children's IQ by 20%-30%, which shows that perilla seed oil and linseed oil are rich in ω-3 a- linolenic acid, so linseed oil and perilla seed oil are essential oils for children.
2. walnut oil. Walnut is a well-known "brain food". The walnut oil made from it is not only bright in color and light in taste, but also retains the nutritional essence of walnut. Walnut oil is rich in phospholipids, which can promote the baby's intellectual development.
Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and compared with other vegetable oils, the structure of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids is more reasonable. In addition, substances such as squalene and polyphenols in walnut oil can maintain the baby's bone density and enhance the baby's immunity. Cold salad is recommended, not high temperature cooking.
3. avocado oil. Avocado oil may not be familiar to everyone, because this method of extracting oil from avocado was developed only this year, so the current output of this oil is relatively small. But you must be familiar with avocado. Avocado is a kind of advanced fruit, which often appears in the diet of complementary food for infants. Because it is rich in vitamins and high-quality fat, it has always been recommended by American child nutrition doctors as a food suitable for infants.
Avocado oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids, which is higher than olive oil, and contains more lutein and other vitamins than olive oil. The most valuable thing is that the oil smoke point of avocado reaches 27 1℃, which is much higher than that of olive oil (2 16℃) and soybean oil (238℃), so avocado oil is also the safest and most suitable vegetable oil for high-temperature cooking.
4. olive oil. Olive oil is considered as "the most suitable oil for human nutrition among the oils discovered so far", and it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Unsaturated fatty acids can reduce low-density cholesterol without harming other beneficial components of human body.
Olive oil maintains natural nutrients in the production process, which is very suitable for babies to eat. High temperature is easy to destroy vitamins and other nutrients in olive oil, so it is best to eat olive oil cold or fry it, not fry it. If you need to fry, you can choose refined olive oil (refined olive oil is more resistant to high temperature and the price is much lower than virgin olive oil).

Food consumption suggestion
According to the guidelines for infant feeding recommended by Women's Branch of China Nutrition Society, the recommended daily intake of edible oil for infants aged 6- 12 months is 5-10g; 1-3-year-old baby's recommended edible oil is 20-25g.
What mothers need to be clear here is that the recommended amount does not mean that babies of this age must reach the corresponding amount, but will gradually reach the corresponding amount at this stage. For example, a 65,438+02-month-old child does not need to eat 5-65,438+00g of edible oil every day, but gradually increases from the initial small amount of 65,438+0-2g/day to 5-65,438+00g/day according to the actual situation of the baby.
