Among the six major types of nutrients needed by the human body, fats and oils are very important. Fats and oils have many functions on cells, such as helping to stabilize the nervous system and cells, helping with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, etc. However, most people do not understand the characteristics of fats and oils. Basically, fats and oils can be divided into two categories, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The most common saturated fatty acids are lard, or plant-based coconut oil and palm oil. The proportion of saturated fat in these gas stations is very high, even exceeding 90%. Excessive intake of these saturated fatty acids can cause cardiovascular and other body problems, so consumption in large quantities is not encouraged. The other category is unsaturated fatty acids, which include three major categories, Omega-3.6.9, but the body has certain requirements for the ratio of these three unsaturated fatty acids. Generally speaking, the body pursues a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 for Omega-3.6, but the modern diet makes our intake ratio unbalanced, as high as 1:40, causing continuous inflammation in the body. This is why there are calls for attention to the supplementation of good cooking oils. In addition, it is particularly important to avoid these oils after hydrogenation, which will become trans fats. Trans fats usually appear in various fried foods, cakes, and snacks. It has many negative effects and can easily cause a burden on the body, so it should be avoided as much as possible. A little more Omega-3, simple cooking is goodOmega-3 exists in fish oil, flaxseed oil, inca inchi oil, perilla oil, chia seed oil, etc., all of which are emphasized as types with relatively high Omega-3. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant effects, so it is considered an important supplement clinically. The sources of Omega-6 are mostly soybeans, peanuts, etc. However, if Omega-6 is not cooked properly, it is easily converted into bad acids and cause inflammation in the body, so we generally do not supplement too much Omega-6. The most typical Omega-9 is olive oil, which is why the Mediterranean diet places special emphasis on olive oil. It can lower cholesterol, contains a large amount of antioxidants, etc. My own principle in using oil is to try not to fry, deep-fry or bake food. Animal fat oils such as lard or plant-based sunflower oil and salad oil contain too high levels of saturated fatty acids or Omega-6. Long-term consumption will cause the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids in the body to become unbalanced. The scientific recommendation is 1:1, but the average person has already lost balance to 1:20 or 1:30, which will affect the conversion of excessive Omega-6 into arachidonic acid, making cells in the body prone to inflammation, and making it easier for cancer cells and fat cells to grow. This is not good for the body and is not easy to improve obesity. Taking in good Omega-3 becomes a top priority. Which foods have higher concentrations of Omega-3? Animal sources such as salmon and mackerel, plant sources such as mustard seed oil, walnut oil, linseed oil, perilla oil, hemp seed oil, etc. I will buy different types of oils imported from France, including olive oil, coconut oil, linseed oil, cold-pressed sesame oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, pistachio oil, etc. I use each type of oil alternately for mixing salads, cooking, making juice, and dipping steamed buns or bread. Coconut oil is also a good helper for health if used properlyThe low-carb ketogenic diet, or the so-called bulletproof coffee, which has been very popular in the past two years, has a very important protagonist - coconut oil. However, coconut oil seems to have mixed reviews, with each having its own arguments, which leaves ordinary people at a loss as to what to do. But it can also be seen that believers will always have faith. As for me, I started using coconut oil many years ago. I don’t know who told me about it, but I bought it. I remember it was coconut oil from Fiji. I didn’t feel anything unusual at the time, but later when I changed brands, I found that the coconut oil I used the first time had a chemical taste and a tingling sensation in my throat, which was not very comfortable. There are some negative reports about coconut oil in the market, so I only eat it occasionally or rinse my mouth with coconut oil; especially in the early stage of using coconut oil to rinse my mouth, I can clearly feel that the cleanliness and strength of the teeth in the whole mouth have improved. Later, I added coconut oil to dishes, vegetable and fruit juices, and desserts, which gave them a unique flavor. As long as it adds to the enjoyment of life and its function of increasing nutrition and nutrient absorption is good, I believe it is right. In recent years, some Japanese doctors have emphasized that using coconut oil with turmeric and curry can prevent Alzheimer's disease or improve the condition of Alzheimer's patients. And there are clinical data and results, which makes me very excited and curious, because we always want to use more natural and organic ways to maintain our health and treat illnesses. Therefore, coconut oil is a good oil that can be used properly. We should avoid its shortcomings and make good use of and promote its advantages. This is my attitude towards all foods and health-preserving methods. All evaluation judgments should not be too absolute. Everything varies from person to person, and also varies in quality, quantity, and usage. To achieve the best utilization method, you need to learn and experience to adjust in life. Saying how good coconut oil is or how bad it is is actually a bit biased. Once, an old man in his 90s read my article in the "Hall of Fame" of the United Daily News and wrote me a letter written in small regular script with a brush. It was very impressive. In addition to affirming me, he asked me a question. He had been suffering from psoriasis for a long time, and it seemed that medical treatment had not been effective, so he was very worried and asked me if there was any solution. I was a little dumbfounded at the moment, because I am not a doctor and I am not an expert in this field, but as far as I know, good oils can moisturize the skin and even have antibacterial properties, so I casually suggested that he apply coconut oil to see if it helps. Two or three months later, I received another letter from him in beautiful small calligraphy, telling me that he immediately bought a can of coconut oil and applied it diligently for two or three months, and now the psoriasis on his feet is completely healed. This incident also illustrates a phenomenon, that is, using natural food and ingredients can also help the body recover certain conditions. People should not lose faith, but they should not be too superstitious either. Find the method and materials that suit you, persevere, and you will see results. I'm really happy for this old man. Taiwan's best oil - camellia oilIn Taiwan, camellia oil is comparable to olive oil, so everyone is encouraged to consume more camellia oil. Taiwan's Lian Jing Tea Oil has won two international medals (iTQi Samsung XMonde Selection Gold Award).
