Whether it is salads, pasta or anything healthy in the house, people use olive oil without thinking, with the idea that this will not harm.

Nowadays the trend of eating healthy is growing rapidly and the highest thing that is considered friendly for Healthy and Weight Loss is- olive oil. Whether it is salads, pasta or anything healthy in the house, people use olive oil without thinking, with the idea that this will not harm. But have you ever focused on its nutrition and calorie value? If not, it would be surprising to know that only two tablespoons of olive oil contains as many calories as in one burger.
Let’s understand a little technically. Dr. According to Agni Kumar Bose, an average burger (which contains potato tikki, mayonnaise, cheese, etc.) has an average of 250 to 300 calories. On the other hand, one teaspoon of olive oil contains about 240 calories. That is, if you put two tablespoons of olive oil, you have taken about 240 calories without knowing, which is almost a burger. Now the question is, when olive oil is so calorie rich, why do people consider it healthy? The answer is that olive oil contains fat mononized fats, which is considered beneficial to the heart and helps to balance the cholesterol level. But that does not mean that he should eat excessively. Calories are calories, whether it comes from ghee or olive oil.
Another big thing is that taking more olive oil can increase weight. Often people overtake healthy foods with the idea that this will not hurt. Many people in this illusion increase weight instead of losing weight. For example, if you consider salads to be healthy, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, its full health value changes.
If you want to lose weight or stay fit, it is necessary that you eat everything in the moderation. Whether it’s olive oil or butter. Healthy things are also beneficial as long as their dose is balanced. Understanding any oil as “magic medicine” can be the biggest mistake. So the next time you put olive oil on a salad or mix in pasta, remember that each spoon can be hidden in olive oil, eat smart if you have to be healthy. No more, not less, just the right quantity.
