How should you eat olive oil to make it healthy and suitable?

Which kind of oil do you buy? Do you always buy very expensive oil? Actually, you do not need to. Let us take a look at this article below and see that some oils are expensive yet not worth the price.

Choosing expensive olive oil to cook food is not necessarily healthier. Beware that improper cooking methods and lifestyle habits may instead turn olive oil back into reused cooking oil, seriously harming your health! A while ago, a 47-year-old man ate only top-grade olive oil every day, yet almost every item on his health check report was flagged in red. It was later discovered that olive oil is only suitable for "low-temperature cooking." If you use olive oil for pan-frying, grilling, boiling and deep-frying all at once, it will instead form reused cooking oil, which is bad for your health.

A 47-year-old Mr. Xiao, because of high blood pressure and coronary artery hardening problems, had been taking high blood pressure medication since his 30s. Although he paid great attention to health, keeping a light diet at home, eating only top-grade olive oil, almost never eating fried foods, and even having quit smoking for more than 10 years, and maintaining a regular exercise habit, unexpectedly a recent health check still found that MDA, a reference indicator for preventing cardiovascular disease, far exceeded the standard value. Mr. Xiao could not figure out the three-high problem at all. It was later discovered that the cause was the wrong cooking method for the oil. High-temperature heating destroyed the quality of the olive oil and instead formed reused cooking oil, causing a rising risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis in the future.

⟦NL> Lin Meixiu, president of Lianan Preventive Medicine Institution, pointed out that ordinary olive oil is only suitable for "low-temperature cooking" and can be used for tossing salads and dipping bread. But if it is oil for "stir-frying," it is best to choose high-grade salad oil, grapeseed oil or refined olive oil, that is, pure olive oil, which are more resistant to high temperatures, with heat resistance reaching 190 degrees. As for the fried food that people quite like, doctors do not recommend eating it. Lin Meixiu said that although high-temperature fried food is tasty, the higher the temperature, the crispier it is, and high temperatures can reach 250 to 300 degrees. The components of the oil have already been destroyed. Lin Meixiu suggests that people can use more refined, already deodorized salad oil, or eat fruits and vegetables to make up for it.
