Fatty acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body or are synthesized in quantities that are far from adequate are called essential fatty acids. Linoleic acid is recognized as an essential fatty acid. Linoleic acid is recognized as an essential fatty acid and is valued for its ability to lower blood cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis.
Research has found that cholesterol must be combined with linoleic acid for normal functioning and metabolism in the body. If there is a lack of linoleic acid, cholesterol will be combined with some saturated fatty acids, metabolic disorders occur, and deposited in the blood vessel wall, gradually forming atherosclerosis, triggering cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Linoleic acid has the effect of lowering blood lipids, softening blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and promoting microcirculation, which can prevent or reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, especially hypertension, high blood pressure, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, obesity in old age is extremely beneficial to the prevention and treatment of hypertension, high blood pressure and high blood lipids, angina, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, obesity in old age is extremely favorable, and can play a role in preventing the human body serum cholesterol in the vascular wall of the deposition of blood vessels. Scavenger" reputation, with the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease health effects.
Linoleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid. In the form of glyceride composition of linseed oil, cottonseed oil and other dry oil, semi-dry oil is the main component. Sunflower oil accounted for 40-60% of the total fatty acids, because it is easy to oxidize and harden in the air, so it is also known as dry acid, dry acid-containing oil is also known as dry oil.
Sunflower oil contains sterols, vitamins, linoleic acid and many other substances beneficial to humans, of which the natural vitamin E content is the highest in all major vegetable oils; and linoleic acid content up to about 70%. Sunflower oil can reduce serum cholesterol levels, lower triglyceride levels, and has the effect of lowering blood pressure. And sunflower oil is light and transparent, cooking can retain the natural food flavor, its smoke point is also very high, can be exempted from the hazards of fumes on the human body.
