It is good for people with hypertension to cook with soybean oil, peanut oil, and similar oils. Soybean oil helps reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and vascular blockages. It is particularly suitable for stewing or boiling dishes; when used for stir-frying, use it sparingly to prevent smoking. Peanut oil is rich in vitamin E, has good heat resistance, and is one of the most flavorful oils for cooking. However, peanuts are prone to contamination by aflatoxin, so it's essential to purchase high-quality products.
