When the elderly consume sesame oil, they can first add a few drops to cold dishes or vegetable soups, and then stir evenly before eating. They can also mix it into prepared hot dishes or rice. Under normal circumstances, the daily consumption is controlled at 2-5 ml.
But after all, sesame oil is rich in fat and calories, so the elderly should adjust the consumption according to their own bodies. Patients with hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia should especially not eat too much.
Experts say that sesame oil is rich in vitamin E and linolenic acid. Among them, vitamin E has antioxidant effects, can maintain the integrity and normal functions of cell membranes, promote cell division, soften blood vessels and maintain blood vessel elasticity, so it is good for protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, sesame oil has a strong fragrance, which can stimulate appetite to a certain extent and promote the absorption of nutrients in the body.
