Edible oil is both very familiar and indispensable to most of us. Although we eat edible oil almost every day, there are still many misunderstandings about edible oil.
Therefore, sometimes you need to ask yourself: edible oil, have we eaten it right?
1. Misunderstanding one: eat too much cooking oil.
As we all know, when we cook meals, the more oil we put in, the more fragrant the meals will be. However, if we eat too much oil, it will bring harm to our health. Because oil is very high in calories and fat content, frequent intake of oil can cause obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Under normal circumstances, the daily intake of edible oil should not exceed 25 grams for normal people, and it should not exceed 20 grams for the elderly, obese people, and people with abnormal blood lipids.
2. Misunderstanding 2: Only eat vegetable oil, not animal oil.
There are many sayings about animal oils being unhealthy. Therefore, many people list animal oils as "prohibited goods." In fact, in daily life, eating animal oils in moderation will not only harm human health, but is beneficial. If you are blindly obsessed with vegetable oils and reject animal oils, it will cause the lack of vitamins and fatty acids in the human body, which is not conducive to human health.
3. Misunderstanding 3: The edible oil is single.
Many people have their own health concepts, some people only eat corn oil, some people only eat peanut oil, and many families only eat the same oil for a long time. In fact, this approach is not appropriate. Experts suggest that in daily life, we should eat more edible oils, and it is best to mix and match them. Only in this way can we ensure the nutritional balance in our bodies and promote our health.
