There are 5 kinds of oil. Fat which is solid at normal temperature: butter, lard Oil which is liquid at normal temperature: Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9 Omega 3 makes the blood vessel flexible and prevents heart attack and stroke. Omega 6 rich in sesame oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, etc. is used for ordinary cooking. Omega 9 is rich in olive oil, canola oil, rice oil, etc. The image of oil or fat is calorie or obesity but cellular membranes of our body cells are made of fat, so taking right fat in a right way keeps our body young. Omega 3 is expected to be effective for dementia or depression and to make blood fluent and clean, rejuvenating our body. Omega 3 and Omega 6 can’t be produced in our body so we have to take them from outside. According to a research in University of Texas, which was performed to 819 people, the decline of cognitive recognition of people who took Omega 3 was suppressed and shrinkage of the brain was decreased. RLP cholesterol (Remnant-like particle cholesterol, should be less than 7.5 mg/dL) goes into the blood vessel and becomes the cause of arteriosclerosis. If RLP cholesterol is high, there is high possibility that arteriosclerosis will be progressed. The followings are oils that a family often use at home. Omega 3: None Omega 6: Sunflower oil, sesame seed oil, walnut oil Omega 9: Olive oil, cashew nuts oil, truffle oil The family tries to use various kinds of oils but oil rich in omega 3 is not used. This is a pitfall that a lot of people fall into. Because the oil that you can take omega 3 efficiently is a few such as linseed oil or perilla oil, it is difficult to take required amount of omega 3. The ideal balance of omega 6 and omega 3 is 4 to 1. The important thing is increasing omega3 and decreasing omega 6. Omega 3 is weak at heat so it is not good for cooking with heat. Oxidization by cooking with heat lowers the effect of omega 3 to prevent dementia and arteriosclerosis. To prevent oxidization, it is necessary to store oil rich in omega3 in the refrigerator. Omega 3 oil which overcomes 2 weak points Oil rich in omega 3 has 2 weak points which are (1) Unique flavor (2) being easily affected by a long cooking with heat. The oil overcoming the weak points of omega 3 is Sacha Inchi Oil. Sacha Inchi Oil can be durable against heat up to about 180 degrees C (356 degrees F). There is no unique taste. You can take required omega 3 for a day with 1 tea spoon of Sacha Inchi Oil (about 5 grams).
