Can blood lipids be reduced if you don’t eat meat or less oil?
Hyperlipidemia cannot be eaten just by eating it. The body will synthesize 4/5 of cholesterol , and the rest is obtained from food.
The fundamental reason for the production of hyperlipidemia is that the metabolic balance of cholesterol in the blood has been destroyed, so simply not eating it will not have a good effect.
And blood lipids and fat people eat are not actually the same thing. The fat you eat will be converted into fat in the body, providing the body with energy to run.
However, if you eat too much fat, it will cause fat accumulation and excess fat will be stored by the liver, which will increase blood lipids.
However, not only fat will increase blood lipids, but the most impact on blood lipids is actually carbohydrates.
Intake of too much high-carbohydrate food will cause the carbohydrate to be decomposed into glucose in the stomach and intestines. Some of the glucose will play a role in regulating blood sugar levels, and one part will be converted into liver sugar for storage. The extra glucose will be converted into fat. When it exceeds the load of the liver, it will cause blood lipids to rise.
So, even if you don’t eat meat and eat less oil, it will increase blood lipids due to eating too much carbohydrate. If you don’t eat oil at all, it will also cause health problems such as malnutrition.
If you are still deeply trapped in various dietary misunderstandings, then the blood lipid level cannot be controlled well no matter what.
Reminder: People with high blood lipids should avoid these three major misunderstandings
1. A diet that lowering fat is not to completely avoid fat
We have said before that not eating fat at all cannot lower fat. A real diet of lipids should be high in fiber, high vitamins, low in salt, low sugar and low in fat. The diet should adjust the ratio of fat, carbohydrate and protein under the premise of controlling the total energy. It cannot be said that will not eat fat if the blood lipids are abnormal , but should reasonably arrange the fat in the diet.
2. Do not eat fat and only eat vegetable oil
Vegetable oil has more advantages compared with animal oil, especially the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil is very high. For example, the unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil account for about 86%, so it is very suitable for people with high blood lipids.
However, no matter which type of vegetable oil is, you need to pay attention to the amount of edible. It is best not to consume more than 30 grams of oil every day. If you eat too much, it will also lead to more calories, which will cause excessive energy and increase blood lipids.
3. You cannot eat any food containing cholesterol
When many people find that their blood lipids are too high, they are talking about cholesterol changes. As long as food containing cholesterol is deleted from the diet list, even the yolk in the egg must be discarded.
In fact, whether cholesterol increases or not is not directly related to diet. The cholesterol we consume every day is only one-fifth, and the rest is synthesized by the liver itself.
Although foods with high cholesterol will have a certain impact on blood lipids, they will not necessarily cause abnormal blood lipids.
If you do not consume cholesterol at all, it will also cause the body to lack cholesterol, which will stimulate the liver to secrete more cholesterol, which will make it more difficult to lower blood lipids.
So we should still systematically learn the dietary misunderstandings about controlling blood lipids, so that you will not feel powerless when you have already tried hard to control your diet, but you still can't control your blood lipids well.
In addition, people with high blood lipids should learn more about dietary knowledge and methods to regulate blood lipids, which will also help them stabilize and normalize blood lipids.
