① First of all, it must be a naturally growing plant, which belongs to non-GM food.

Essential fats of human body are divided into saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids are the chief culprit of human diseases. If its content exceeds 12%, it will produce fat accumulation in human body, causing serious cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis. Disturbingly, the content of saturated fatty acids in common edible oil is very high. Studies by nutrition experts show that the more monounsaturated fatty acids in edible oil, the higher its nutritional value, with camellia oil as high as 80% and olive oil as high as 75%. Monounsaturated fatty acids in camellia oil are the highest among all edible oils.
It fits perfectly. Camellia oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), which can improve blood antioxidant capacity, reduce cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, it will also reduce the incidence of diseases caused by metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance diabetes, and it is the first choice for healthy edible oil for diabetics, cardiovascular patients and people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia.
Experts suggest that the simplest and most direct way to prevent the rise of blood lipids, that is, to control the rise of cholesterol, is to improve the dietary structure and eat more healthy vegetable oil with high monounsaturated fatty acids, which will help lower cholesterol. The content of monounsaturated fatty acids in camellia oil is the highest among all edible oils.
Camellia oil is the most suitable oil for cooking and frying. Long-term consumption will not increase the human cholesterol index, nor will it cause cardiovascular diseases, and it has high digestion and absorption value. Another major feature of camellia oil is its high temperature resistance. When other plants are fried to 200 degrees, it is easy to produce harmful substances, such as pyrene, while camellia is fried to 230 degrees. Therefore, camellia oil is most suitable for cooking food, and the fried dishes are bright and delicious.

The American Heart Association is in the modern age.
According to the study of diet, it is found that the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases in southern China, especially in Bama, Wuyuan and western Zhejiang mountainous areas of Jiangxi Province, is the lowest, and it is the hometown of longevity in history. Finland and the United States are the highest. The only significant difference is that residents eat different types of fat. Tea seed oil is the main source of fat.

Tea seed oil contains vitamin E and antioxidant components, so it can protect skin, especially prevent skin damage and aging, and make skin shiny. Tea seed oil is the most typical oil containing single unsaturated fatty acid. It is a natural fruit juice, which retains the taste, aroma, vitamins and characteristics of camellia. It is the only edible vegetable oil after being squeezed by woody plants. The main component of tea seed oil is oleic acid, the content of which is as high as 75%, and it is also rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E and carotene. Each gram of tea seed oil contains 9 calories.
Numerous studies have shown that single unsaturated fat (camellia oil) is the most beneficial to human health, so people should eat more of this fat and eat less of other fats such as fat (animal fat, coconut oil and palm oil) and polyunsaturated fat (seed oil).
New research shows that different kinds of fatty acids have completely different effects on health, some can cause cancer and some can prevent cancer; Some will increase the recurrence rate of heart disease, while others can reduce it, so the influence of a certain fat on the body often depends on its unique fatty acid composition. Saturated fatty acids are considered harmful fats (usually animal fats). The diet of Mediterranean Park Jung Su Yu Omega proves that the monounsaturated fatty acids in wild tea oil and olive oil can effectively protect the cardiovascular system, and can also reduce the incidence of three metabolic diseases such as insulin and antagonize diabetes.

Residents who eat tea seed oil for a long time have few patients with coronary heart disease and cancer.

15 slimming effect
The health care function of tea oil is mainly embodied in "non-polyester". The unsaturated fatty acid content of tea oil is the highest, which is easily absorbed by human body after eating, and the digestibility reaches 97%. Different from ordinary edible oil, if it is not digested in the human body after eating, it will be converted into fat and accumulated in internal organs and subcutaneous tissues, which may easily cause obesity or other diseases. In this sense, tea oil can reduce weight, so it is more helpful for pregnant women to eat it after delivery to eliminate abdominal fat accumulated during pregnancy and help them recover quickly.
