You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
Cooking oil is an indispensable part of people's daily diet, it provides our body with essential fatty acids and energy. However, with the wide variety of edible oils and the uneven quality, how to choose a healthy edible oil has become a problem for people. Today, let's take a look at what oil is the least healthy and the shelf life of edible oil.
First, we need to be clear about what oils are the least healthy. Among the many edible oils, soybean oil is often mentioned. Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from soybeans, which is widely used in the household and catering industry due to its moderate taste and good taste. However, soybean oil may produce trans fatty acids during processing. Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that have the opposite structure to natural fatty acids and are not good for human health. Long-term intake of trans fatty acids increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and other diseases.
So, is soybean oil really that unhealthy? In fact, soybean oil itself does not contain trans fatty acids, but in order to improve the stability and shelf life of the oil, manufacturers may use the method of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which leads to the production of trans fatty acids. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the intake of trans fatty acids by choosing high-quality soybean oil and avoiding partially hydrogenated products.
In addition to soybean oil, there are some unhealthy cooking oils, such as:
1.Palm oil: Palm oil comes from the oil palm tree, which is high in saturated fatty acids and may contribute to cardiovascular disease if ingested in the future.
2.Corn oil: Corn oil contains a lot of -6 fatty acids, which may lead to an enhanced inflammatory response in the body if consumed in excess.
3.Cottonseed oil: Cottonseed oil contains toxic gossypol, which may have adverse health effects when consumed for a long time.
So, how do you choose a healthy cooking oil?
1.Choose natural vegetable oils: Natural vegetable oils such as olive oil, camellia oil, and flaxseed oil contain more beneficial fatty acids, which are beneficial to your health.
2.Pay attention to the processing method of oils and fats: avoid choosing oils and fats that have been partially hydrogenated, and try to choose oils and fats that are non-GMO, cold-pressed and other processing methods.
3.Rational Mix of Fatty Acids: Consume a variety of fatty acids to maintain a balance of -3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, which will help your body be healthy.
4.Pay attention to the shelf life of edible oil: Edible oil may cause problems such as oil oxidation and increased acid value during storage, so it is necessary to pay attention to the shelf life of edible oil and avoid eating expired oil.
Finally, we would like to remind consumers that they can consume edible oil rationally and maintain a diverse and balanced diet in order to ensure good health. When choosing edible oils, try to choose high-quality, healthy oils and fats and avoid long-term consumption of unhealthy oils. At the same time, pay attention to the shelf life of edible oil to avoid damage to the body caused by eating expired oil. Let's work together to cheer for good health!
