Soul One Question:
Do you know what is the most oil-absorbing dish?
Eggplant?
Wrong!
You think it's healthy --
It!
01 The dish that can absorb oil the most is it
According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016)", the oil absorption rate of fried loose eggs (scrambled eggs) is as high as 43%, second only to fried bread slices (80%), and 26% higher than that of tomato boxes (17%).
A lot of bubbles can be produced when whipping eggs, and the contact area with oil after the eggs are in the pan is large, making it easier for the grease to enter the eggs.
If calculated according to the calories of 1 gram of oil and 9 calories, the oil absorbed by a scrambled egg alone increases by 270 calories, which is equivalent to the calories of half a kilogram of steamed rice!
02 These four foods are also oil-absorbing
01 Eggplant
The eggplant itself is fluffy and contains a lot of water. In the process of stir-frying, the water will evaporate quickly as the temperature rises, and a large amount of grease will enter.
02 Leafy vegetables
Leafy vegetables do not absorb oil into the interior like eggplants. But the structure of the blade part, grease can adhere well to its surface. Therefore, it is best to put less oil in stir-frying.
03 Starchy foods
Vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams have a starch content nearly 5 times or more than ordinary vegetables, and it is easy to stick to the pan when stir-frying, and naturally a lot of oil will be added unconsciously, so it is easy to become a high-oil food.
04 Dry pot dishes
Most of the ingredients in dry pot dishes need to go through the "oil" process, so that the oil content of the dish is greatly increased. In the process of eating, dry pot dishes generally need to be continuously heated, so the oil can continue to be absorbed by the dish, and eating a bite of the dish is equivalent to eating a mouthful of oil!
03 What happens if you eat too much oil
01 Excessive calories, resulting in obesity
Oils and fats are extremely high in calories, far ahead of other nutrients, and are more likely to lead to obesity.
Research by the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that just 5 grams more oil per person per day can gain 1 kilogram of weight after one year.
02 Affects cardiovascular health
Some unhealthy saturated fats and trans fatty acids in fat are one of the causes of high blood lipids and high cholesterol.
Not only that, when we consume too much fat, the excess fat in the internal organs will also enter the blood, causing three highs, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, etc., which in turn will increase the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction.
03 Increase the burden of digestion
Fat is not easy to digest, and after a diet high in salt and oil, people often feel stomach bloating, indigestion and other discomforts.
Long-term high-oil diet will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and it is easy to stimulate gastric acid secretion, thereby causing some digestive tract diseases.
04 Cause diseases of other organs
Excessive fat accumulation has different negative effects on different body organs.
Excessive fat accumulation in the liver may cause fatty liver; Fat accumulation in the kidneys will affect their blood function; Hoarding in the lungs may lead to insufficient blood oxygen and affect immune function.
04 4 tips to cook healthy dishes
01 Blanch water before cooking to reduce oil absorption
Vegetables that absorb more oil can be blanched before cooking, and the original pores are filled with moisture, so they are less oil-absorbent.
02 Use a nonstick pan
Commonly used round bottom pan, it is easy to overdose with oil, you can replace it with a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil.
03 Add oil after cold coleslaw
Finally put sesame or olive oil on the coleslaw and serve immediately. In this way, the aroma of the oil is effectively emitted, and the food has not had time to fully absorb the oil, which can also reduce the fat intake to a certain extent.
In addition, do not use high-fat seasonings such as salad sauce and mayonnaise.
04 Use natural spices wisely
Add ginger, green onion, vinegar, peel, peppercorns, star anise and other natural materials to taste to reduce the use of salt; You can also use vinegar or lemon juice to fortify the salty taste of salt.
