People will eat about 1. 18 tons of cooking oil once in their life, which is equivalent to 644 1 200 ml of drinks. Edible oil can not only add color and fragrance to food, but also be an important source of calories and essential fatty acids. Fatty acids are an important part of seven nutrients and lipids in human body. In daily diet, edible oil provides about 50% of fatty acids needed by human body. So from a health point of view, we are actually supplementing fatty acids by eating oil.
Cooking oil, how to eat the healthiest?
Many families eat a single kind of edible oil for a long time. Is this healthy? Edible oil provides us with important fatty acids and energy. Different kinds of edible oils contain different proportions of fatty acids, so try not to eat only one kind of oil, but to eat harmoniously to ensure a balanced intake of dietary fatty acids.
For the sake of health, many families try to make the elderly eat less oil. Is this right? Generally speaking, if the metabolism of the elderly is slow, it is necessary to eat less meat and animal oil containing a lot of saturated fatty acids and increase the intake of unsaturated fatty acids in the diet. Unsaturated fatty acids can promote the excretion of unhealthy cholesterol (LDL) and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. As long as it is moderate, it is healthy for the elderly to eat oil.
Are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases really "eating by eating oil"? Many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are related to the imbalance of fatty acid intake. If essential fatty acids and non-essential fatty acids are not ingested in a balanced way, non-essential fatty acids will compete with essential fatty acids in the metabolic process, which will make important metabolic pathways out of balance and cause diseases.
