1. Why is olive oil the first choice to lose weight?
It is scientifically found that monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil are as high as 865,438+0% ~ 87%. Therefore, nutritionists point out that olive oil is the first choice for people to fight obesity, prevent diseases and improve health. Monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil can accelerate the burning and decomposition of fat in human body and make it excreted quickly. In addition, olive oil can also accelerate human metabolism and reduce the accumulation of garbage in the human body. Olive oil is considered to be the most suitable oil for human nutrition among the oils found so far. It is also known as "liquid gold" and "queen of vegetable oil".
2. So, what is the main difference between olive oil and common edible oil?
1. Difference of monounsaturated fatty acid content. The role of monounsaturated fatty acids is to regulate blood lipids and lower cholesterol.
Olive oil content: 55%~83%
Peanut oil content: 42%~62%
Corn oil content: 28%~32%
Rapeseed oil content: 12%~ 18%
This contrast is still obvious. Olive oil is indeed the highest monounsaturated fatty acid content in so many oils!
2. Polyunsaturated fatty acids-"the protector of the heart", which mainly depends on the ratio of ω3 to ω6.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are also called "the protector of the heart". Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are both important components of cell membrane and precursors of many biochemical reactions in the body, such as regulating blood pressure and inflammatory reactions, so it is very important to balance the ratio of the two!
Olive oil 1:4 is the most suitable ratio for human health;
Peanut oil 1:95, corn oil 1:93, rapeseed oil 1: 13, all higher than Omega 6!
Third, different treatment methods.
Super olive oil is cold pressed by physical means, without heating and chemical treatment, and retains natural nutrients, so it is healthy; Generally, cooking oil is hot-pressed by chemical methods, which will lose nutrients and some components will change to produce harmful substances!
Fourth, let's talk about other nutrients of olive oil.
Olive oil is used in fitness meals because it is rich in fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D and E, carotene and antioxidants. The proportion of oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid is more suitable for human digestion and absorption than other edible oils.
During the period of losing weight, olive oil can promote the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract, and has a good effect on removing intestinal garbage, eliminating intestinal toxicity, relaxing bowels and reducing fat.
Fifth, olive oil can be eaten directly, saving cooking time.
In fact, many fitness meals do not recommend using too complicated cooking methods, such as salad, to reduce calorie intake and nutrient loss. However, extra virgin olive oil is only squeezed by physical cold pressing, and its ingredients are natural and pure, so it can be eaten directly, and it can fully taste the rich fruity aroma and refreshing taste of olive oil. Therefore, it can also be used as a cold salad or as a sauce to improve the taste and flavor of food. Olive oil, whether fried or cold, is one of the best choices for pursuing health.
Many people regard oil as a natural enemy when losing weight, blindly thinking that losing weight should be an oil-free diet, but in fact, not eating oil for a long time will also bring many problems to the human body. I hope everyone can lose weight healthily. Good health is the most important thing.
