Doctors have even encountered 20-year-old young people in outpatient clinics who have atrophied brains like 80-year-olds, and the brain of premature aging looks atrophied in imaging examinations, the sulcus gyrus becomes shallow, and the gap becomes larger, just like shriveled walnut kernels, patients often have memory loss, mental malaise, and if they do not interfere, various diseases such as dementia and neurological abnormalities will occur. And the reason for this situation is closely related to a dietary shortcoming, that is to say, eat it!
In recent years, we have some misunderstandings about oils and fats, and there are two prominent phenomena:
1. Fear of fat and dare not eat, so it leads to insufficient fat intake, that is, not enough to eat. It lays a hidden danger for brain atrophy. Director Xia said that in fact, the period of the fastest development of human beings was 20,000~10,000 years ago, because the proportion of fat in the diet reached 40% during that period!
2. The type is not right and the proportion is unbalanced, that is, the eating is not right. The fatty acids in the oil are essential nutrients for the human body, and the proportion and type of fatty acids can be eaten correctly, so that the brain can be younger, otherwise it may age prematurely, and even a series of health risks will appear in the long run.
So how to correct this "not eating enough" and "eating wrong" in the diet?
As a neurologist and nutrition expert, Director Xia Meng also has his own daily tricks for eating oil, so I will share it with you today:
First, eat 30% of the day's total energy with oily foods every day. If you exercise a lot, the amount of oil you eat must increase.
Second, animal fats can also be eaten in moderation. There are two sources of vegetable fat, one is a variety of vegetable oils for cooking, and the other is nuts that many people will ignore.
Thirdly, animal oil should come from fish, lean meat, eggs, whole milk, and offal as much as possible. Fatty meat is also edible, especially for manual laborers.
Fourth, monounsaturated fatty acids, that is, high oleic acid types, are added to vegetable oils.
