Disease description:
We consume a lot of peanut oil at home, and our diet tends to be relatively greasy. What kind of oil is healthier for people with the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids)?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Tian Hongbo
For patients with the "three highs" (high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar), the following oils are recommended for daily cooking to help maintain health:
1. For patients with high blood pressure, while controlling sodium intake, moderate consumption of fish oil or flaxseed oil rich in Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) levels in the blood and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL, or "good" cholesterol), thus improving blood lipid profiles. These oils are suitable for cold dishes, drizzling over cooked dishes, or adding to beverages.
2. Olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, which helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended for low-temperature cooking, cold dishes, and salads.
3. Corn oil: Contains a large amount of plant sterols, which can remove cholesterol and prevent its deposition on blood vessel walls, helping to prevent vascular hardening.
The recommended daily intake of fats should not exceed 25%-30% of total energy intake, and healthy oils should be prioritized, avoiding frying and other high-temperature cooking methods.
