Vegetable fats differ from animals in the content of fatty acids, which are easily absorbed by the body. They do not have the property to be subsequently deposited on the walls of our vessels.
All absolutely vegetable fats are high in vitamins B and F. These vitamins are powerful antioxidants that protect the body from aging. In the human body, they activate the action of our endocrine glands and increase resistance to viruses and bacteria. And most surprisingly, they help break down fats, which contributes to weight loss.
Nutritionists advise taking 15-20 g of vegetable oil per day. This will have a significant impact on maintaining health. This refers to unrefined cold-pressed oils. They differ from refined oils in appearance, have a darker appearance with a characteristic sediment.
Unrefined oils are "living" substances and therefore quickly deteriorate: they become rancid, cloudy and lose all useful qualities. Therefore, they should be stored in a dark glass jar, always protected from sunlight.
Sunflower oil contains twice as much vitamin E as olive oil. And in terms of the content of linoleic acid, which provides immunity, protecting our body from the destructive effects of stress, it surpasses olive one by 10 times. The phytosterols found in unrefined sunflower oil prevent cholesterol from being absorbed into the intestines. Thus, they interfere with the development of atherosclerosis.
Extra virgin olive oil stimulates the functioning of the cardiovascular organs. Monounsaturated fats significantly lower the level of harmful cholesterol for the body, leaving intact the beneficial cholesterol that the body needs to maintain health. Polyphenol - increases blood circulation, which prevents blood clots. Calcium - strengthens bone tissue, preventing osteoporosis from developing.
With daily consumption of unrefined olive oil, the risk of breast cancer is reduced. One of the famous American nutritionists stated that the percentage of tightening of ulcers for people who eat olive oil is much higher.
