Healthy Life Oil | Do you know the health benefits of oleic acid?

Fatty acid is one of the essential nutrients for the human body. It has a wide range of physiological functions and biological effects in the body and is closely related to human health and disease. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid and the main component of unsaturated fatty acids. In addition to providing energy to the body, oleic acid also plays a positive role in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

Oleic acid can reduce cardiovascular disease in overweight people and the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in plasma, which is beneficial to human cardiovascular health and protects the heart. It also has the effects of enhancing insulin sensitivity and improving inflammation.

Oleic acid has only one unsaturated bond, a stable structure, and a unique antioxidant function, making it a healthy and safe fatty acid. Edible oils with high oleic acid content are not easily oxidized and deteriorated at high temperatures, have a long shelf life, and are not easy to smoke when heated to a higher temperature, with less smoke, which is good for health.

Oleic acid is abundant in vegetable oils. Vegetable oils with high oleic acid content include tea seed oil, olive oil and rapeseed oil, whose oleic acid content reaches 82%, 79% and 63% respectively. Other common vegetable oils such as peanut oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sesame oil, etc. also contain oleic acid.
