Choose the right oil, the blood vessels are smooth and longevity!But don't eat a kind of oil

do you know?

The secret of longevity is hidden in the oil you used for daily cooking.

Harvard studies have found that using olive oil instead of animal oil can reduce the risk of death!

01

Death rate is reduced by 19%

In 2022, the "American Cardiac Society Magazine" published an article on the study of the relationship between olive oil and mortality.

The study involved a total of 60,000 women and more than 30,000 men. At the beginning of the study, all participants were healthy and had no cancer, heart disease or other chronic diseases.

Study in the way of questionnaires, understand the living habits and health of the participants, and eating, and evaluate the relationship between the consumption and mortality of olive oil during the diet.

The participants were followed up for 28 years, and 36,000 participants died.

It was found that, compared with participants who never eat olive oil, participants who eat at least 7 grams of olive oil every day are all because the mortality rate is 19%lower.

Specifically, the consumption of olive oil with high levels (daily> 7 grams) is reduced by 19%caused by cardiovascular disease, a decrease of cancer mortality by 17%, a decrease in the mortality of neurodegenerative diseases by 29%, respiratory system death The rate is reduced by 18%.

The effect of olive oil is so powerful. What about other oils?

The use of olive oil to replace artificial butter is significantly related to the decrease in total mortality.

Similarly, the total mortality rate decreased by 14%, 19%, and 13%with olive oil, egg yolk sauce or dairy products.

However, the risk of death has not changed significantly with olive oil instead of other vegetable oil (such as, corn oil, soybean oil, etc.).

Researchers believe that olive oil is better than most animal oils and artificial butter, but it is not better than other vegetable oil.

In other words, there is no need to choose to eat olive oil, and you can choose other vegetable oils.

02

Nutritional composition looks like this

There are many types of vegetable oils we are in contact with, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, etc.

So, how should we choose so many types of vegetable oils?

The main nutritional ingredients of edible oil are saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, which have different effects on the human body.

Saturated fatty acid: It is considered a type of "bad" fatty acid, which can easily cause various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the human body.

Animal oils, such as lard, butter, sheep oil, etc., contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids.

Therefore, it is best not to eat or eat less animal oil.

Unsaturated fatty acid: It is a type of "good" fatty acid, which is conducive to maintaining the relative liquidity of the cell membrane and ensuring the normal physiological function of the cells; it can make the cholesterol esteria in the body, reduce the cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood; reduce the blood viscosity consistency , To improve blood microcirculation; it can also improve brain cell activity, enhance memory and thinking ability.

Therefore, the ingredients and content of fatty acids in the edible oil are also the main indicators to distinguish the nutritional value of edible oil.

Plant oil selection reference

"Health Circle" comprehensive comparative analysis of 8 common vegetable oils, which provides reference for you to buy vegetable oil.

1. Olive oil

Nutritional ingredients: rich in minerals, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids. Its fatty acid composition ratio is most suitable for human digestion and absorption.

Health function: can reduce cholesterol.

2. Soybean oil

Nutritional ingredients: rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid and linoleic acid, and also contain vitamin E, D, and lecithin.

Health function: It can reduce blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to a certain extent.

3. Peanut oil

Nutritional ingredients: contain unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid, as well as nutrients such as alcohol, phospholipids, vitamin E, choline.

Health function: It can prevent skin wrinkle and aging, help prevent arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, and improve memory and delay brain functional recession.

4. Corn oil

Nutritional ingredients: contain unsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid and vitamin E.

Health function: It is conducive to delaying aging.

5. Sunflower Oil

Nutritional ingredients: contain unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid, as well as nicheol and vitamin E.

Health function: It can significantly reduce cholesterol, prevent blood vessels, and prevent coronary heart disease.

6. Tea oil

Nutritional ingredients: The content of unsaturated fatty acid oil is more than 80%, and chemical composition is similar to olive oil.

Health function: help reduce cholesterol.

7. rapeseed oil

Nutritional ingredients: Lack of oleic acid, fatty acid composition is unreasonable.

Health function: The mustard content is relatively high, and people with poor heart should eat less.

8. Palm oil

Nutrition: The content of saturated fatty acids is close to animal fat.

Health function: Eat as little as possible.

In summary, different types of edible oil contained in the nutritional ingredients and health effects. We can replace different types of vegetable oil from time to time, which will help achieve the effect of nutritional balance.

We can't do without oil every day. Using oil is a big step towards health!
