Is it healthiest not to eat oil at all? If you eat too little oil, your body fat will soar.
Many women who love beauty are most afraid of looking greasy, fearing that eating oil will make them fat, and there are myths that "completely oil-free is the healthiest" and "less oil is healthier". 1 Miss Lin, 35, is very concerned about her body fat rate, so she cooks almost all oil-free food and doesn't eat fried food. Surprisingly, instead of falling, her body fat rate rose to 40%, which made her feel very confused.

According to the daily dietary guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, healthy adults can consume 3 to 7 teaspoons of oil every day. It seems that there are not a few women with ideas like Miss Lin. A survey of 1000 women aged 30 to 50 who have cooking habits and pay attention to body fat management shows that 76% of them use less than 3 teaspoons of cooking oil every day, and even 60% use less than 2 teaspoons of oil every day.

Three common misunderstandings about edible oil intake

The survey found that respondents had three misunderstandings about edible oil intake: the first misunderstanding was that "no oil is the healthiest". Among the women who don't put cooking oil, 38. 1% think that not putting cooking oil can avoid accumulating body fat. The second misunderstanding is "less oil is good for health", and the third misunderstanding is "ignoring nutritional balance".

Using less oil will increase the body fat rate.

Chen, an attending physician in the Department of Family Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital, Taipei, said that in recent years, the awareness of health preservation has increased, and then oil-free dishes and light diets have been developed. Deliberately not eating oil will also have many effects on health. Why does using less oil increase the body fat rate? After eating oil, it will be digested in 4 to 6 hours. However, once the oil intake is insufficient, it is easy to feel hungry, and when you start to eat starch, sugar and other foods, such as snacks and desserts, the calories will easily explode and then accumulate fat. In addition, insufficient oil intake will also affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, leading to rough skin and hormonal imbalance.
