Experts talked about the right choice of vegetable oil.

Choosing the right vegetable oil has become an important topic for health, especially in conditions of high consumption of this product. This was reported on September 10 on the Chinese television channel CCTV.

According to industry data, in recent years, the average annual consumption of vegetable oil in China has been 28 kg per person. At the same time, 63% of the oil goes to the needs of households and public catering, which exceeds the recommended oil consumption rate of 25-30 grams per day. However, despite the high popularity of the oil, excessive consumption can lead to various diseases such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

There are many types of vegetable oils, from soy and sunflower to olive and walnut. However, to choose the most suitable oil, it is necessary to take into account its composition. All oils contain three types of fatty acids: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, are useful and necessary for the body, since they cannot be synthesized in the body and must come from food.

According to Wang Hanzhong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences, although all oils are useful in moderation, prolonged consumption of oil with a high content of saturated fats can have a negative impact on health. While oils with a high content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats contribute to better health.

However, when choosing oil, it is important to maintain a balance in consumption. Experts recommend changing the oil to avoid overconsumption of one group of fatty acids. At the same time, it is important to consider your diet and physical condition. For example, if there is little fish in the diet, you can add oil rich in omega-3 acids, such as linseed oil.

In addition, it is important to store the oils properly. Open large packages of oil undergo oxidation faster, losing their beneficial properties. It is better to choose small packages and store the oils in a dark, cool place.

"The secret to eating oil healthily is this: eat less oil, choose the right oil, control the temperature, and prevent oxidation," concluded Fan Zhihong.

Pediatrician, nutritionist, and SOLGAR expert Maria Kulikova told Izvestia on August 6 that over the past decades there has been a noticeable trend towards the popularization of low-fat diets, often considered as a means to reduce body weight. However, this approach can have serious negative health consequences.
