I don't know when olive oil has become the representative of healthy life in the new era.
Under the promotion of many merchants, olive oil is a vegetable oil made by using fresh olive fruit and then cold pressing. There is no chemical treatment or heating process.
Therefore, many people often call it "liquid gold".
It is precisely because of this aura that various magical effects have also been blown into the sky under the business model. Every New Year's Festival, the juniors carry such two bottles of filial piety and filial piety, which is also a very decent gift.
What's so good about olive oil?
Olive oil is obtained by pressing the oil olive and belongs to the vegetable oil, so it contains these advantages:
First, it is high in unsaturated fatty acids
Olive oil contains a large number of unsaturated fatty acids, while olive oil has a high oleic acid content, and unsaturated fatty acids reduce the viscosity of platelets in the blood, which is much more advantageous than animal oils.
Second, it contains vitamin E and other polyphenolic compounds
If it is cold-pressed olive oil, these ingredients are relatively high in content, and they are generally considered to have antioxidant effects. Primary cold-pressed oil, on the other hand, contains other impurities, so it tastes different from other vegetable oils.
But these advantages, other vegetable oils also have.
Can olive oil improve digestive function?
In the promotion of many merchants, olive oil contains carotene and unsaturated fatty acids. Olive oil does not contain cholesterol, is easily absorbed by the body, and has a certain improvement effect on the body's digestive system.
But in fact, olive oil does not contain cholesterol, other vegetable oils also exist, so this is not the advantage of olive oil.
In addition, some merchants also say that olive oil can stimulate the secretion of bile in the human body, which has the effect of preventing gallstones and cholecystitis. But in fact, if it really works, then why have stone surgery? Come straight to the sea and drink a big bottle of olive oil!
Can olive oil fight aging?
Some merchants also claim that there are many dimensions E, dimension A, dimension D and dimension K in olive oil, which can eliminate the effect of fine wrinkles on the skin.
But in fact, there is nothing that will definitely age after eating, if there is, it is Tang Hate Meat.
Stir-frying with olive oil is really not the best match
Because the oil point of olive oil is not high, the antioxidant components in it are also easily destroyed when stir-frying at high temperatures, thus losing the nutritional advantage of cold-pressed olive oil that "may exist".
If you use refined olive oil, it is actually similar to other refined vegetable oils, most of the antioxidant substances and aromatic components have been removed, and it is no different from other vegetable oils for stir-frying.
Therefore, it is usually possible to make some cold food with olive oil in daily life, and the cold mixed food made with olive oil tastes very good, and the nutrients will not be lost.
For example, make some cold fruit and vegetable salad, or use it to mix shrimp and so on. These coleslaws made with olive oil will have the effect of replenishing nutrients and improving appetite.
Of course, you can also use it to stir-fry, but this is the same as using Moutai as cooking wine, using LV to serve vegetables, and driving a Ferrari to deliver takeaways, as long as you like, in fact, there is no big problem.
Can olive oil reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease?
Many merchants define olive oil as "the most suitable nutrition for the human body", and claim that American studies have found that the consumption of olive oil can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
But in fact, we can find through historical data that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of olive oil in 2004, which has the following note:
"Limited, rather than conclusive, scientific evidence suggests that olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, so eating two scoops (23 grams) of olive oil daily is beneficial in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease." To reap this possible benefit, olive oil needs to be used in place of similar amounts of saturated fat without increasing calorie intake throughout the day."
This means that the 23 grams of fat intake per day are replaced with olive oil, and the total amount of food eaten every day remains unchanged, in order to effectively reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
That is to say: you can't eat more, just take a small amount of fat substituted for olive oil, and just reduce it, it won't stop it from happening.
In addition, the article also emphasizes "limited rather than conclusive", consciousness is not yet uncertain, just a guess.
Just because of such a sentence, but can be "pointed to deer as horses" by merchants, have to admire!
So, in a word, olive oil can be eaten, but if it is used as a health care artifact, then forget it!
