52-year-old Aunt Liu retired at home. Aunt Liu worked hard outside when she was young and accumulated a lot of assets. After retirement, she enjoyed life in her hometown. She was full of fish and meat every day, and shared the joy of family with her grandchildren. Although Aunt Liu is old, she has a young heart and likes to imitate young people eating barbecue, hot pot, and milk tea.

The son and daughter once stopped Aunt Liu from eating these and pay attention to a healthy diet. Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu waved her hand: "No one can stop me! I suffered so much when I was young. Now is the time to enjoy myself. Whoever stops me will be anxious!"

However, some time ago, Aunt Liu felt that chest pain , chest tightness and shortness of breath, and affects sleep. When walking on a daily basis, 's calves and weakness from time to time. lying in bed before going to bed at night will cause frequent legs and feet cramps, and you may even wake up from leg cramps in the middle of the night when you fall asleep.

One morning, when Aunt Liu looked in the mirror, she suddenly found that many flat papules of rice grains suddenly appeared around her eyelids. At first, Aunt Liu thought it was fat particles, but the fat particles were white, while Aunt Liu's eyelids were yellow, and the number was increasing, and the growth area continued to spread.

After the persuasion and accompanying my family, Aunt Liu decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. As a result, everyone was worried! The test sheet shows : triglyceride TG2.05 mmol/L, total cholesterol TC6.03mmol/L, and are far exceeding the normal value! Aunt Liu actually got high blood lipids.

In fact, there are many people like Aunt Liu who have high blood lipids due to improper diet. Next, let’s take a look at which foods have a greater impact on blood lipids and .

What is hyperlipidemia? Is the same thing as high cholesterol and high blood lipids?

We often hear the "three highs" in our lives, namely hypertension , hyperglycemia , and hyperlipidemia . At home, we can all self-test blood pressure and blood sugar, but it is difficult to self-test blood lipids. We can only know by going to the hospital for testing. So what exactly is hyperlipidemia?

hyperlipidemia, also known as hyperlipidemia. is medically defined as dyslipidemia . refers to the body's fat metabolism disorder, the increase in the content of lipid in the blood (including cholesterol and triglyceride ), and there are no typical symptoms, but will cause coronary heart disease , diabetes , atherosclerosis and other complications , which are mostly found during physical examinations.

Take life as an example. Blood vessels are actually like water pipes that have been rusted for many years. The scale accumulates thicker and thicker, squeezing the space inside the pipe, causing blockage, and the water flow gradually becomes smaller. Over the years, the transportation capacity of blood vessels is reduced by , and the organs of the body will experience ischemia and hypoxia to varying degrees, which will lead to a series of other diseases.

According to the type of elevated lipoprotein, we often divide hyperlipidemia into four types: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia , mixed hyperlipidemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia .

So, can you distinguish high cholesterol from high blood lipids?

In fact, the common high cholesterol is that high blood lipids, but high blood lipids does not necessarily mean that high cholesterol is simply that high cholesterol. Cholesterol is one of the blood lipids and is one of the components of blood lipids. In addition, blood lipids also include triglycerides, and other low-density lipoproteins. In other words, one of the indicators of increased blood lipids is increased cholesterol.

According to the proportion of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood lipids, we can simply divide high blood lipids into three conditions: hypercholesterolemia; hypertriglycerideemia; and mixed hyperlipidemia .

It is not difficult to see from this that the level of cholesterol in will affect the level of blood lipids, but increased blood lipids do not only represent increased cholesterol. has figured out the high cholesterol and high blood lipids, and we also need to clarify the "terror" of high blood lipids.

Although hyperlipidemia does not cause obvious symptoms, the increase in blood lipids will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease , and will also cause a series of diseases that endanger physical health, including coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease . The above diseases can lead to chest tightness and pain, heart attacks, strokes, and other problems.

Therefore, regular physical examinations should be conducted, timely intervention should be made, and blood lipids should be controlled within the normal range. Once fat metabolism in the human body occurs abnormally, will cause hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

Specifically, when the fat metabolism balance is broken by , symptoms of dyslipidemia occur (hyperlipidemia), causing the blood lipid content in plasma to be too high, resulting in a large number of lipid particles deposited under the endothelium of the blood vessel wall of the blood supply artery, which in turn causes blood lipid atherosclerosis in the blood vessels and microvessels to be blocked and deposited and sclerotic. blood vessel wall thickens , and elasticity decreases , forming atherosclerosis .

and atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, , and peripheral vascular disease. Once the blood lipids exceed the standard level, you must seek medical treatment in time, otherwise it will cause life-threatening danger. Once blood sclerosis worsens and causes arterial cavity obstruction, the tissue or organ supplied to the artery will be ischemia or necrotic.

The harm caused by hyperlipidemia is far more than that. The effects of hyperlipidemia are systemic and cumulative. In order to stay away from hyperlipidemia, we need to start from many aspects.

cholesterol "big dealer" was found out! Stay away from hyperlipids, pay attention to these 4 foods

. If you want to stay away from hyperlipids, the most important thing is to adjust our diet structure . A healthy diet structure is an important guarantee for a healthy body .

. High cholesterol foods

There are many types of high cholesterol foods, which are also very common in our daily lives. Be careful and do not consume too much! The most common animals include beef offal, sheep offal, pig offal, etc., pig's trotters, duck eggs, .

Among them, contains 4972 micrograms of vitamin A per 100g of pork liver, but contains 368 mg of cholesterol! Although the internal organs contain vitamin A and vitamin D needed by the human body, the cholesterol and fat content is also relatively high. Therefore, it is not recommended to consume more than 50g per time.

If you consume too much food with high cholesterol, it is easy for to destroy the stable of the low-density lipoprotein level, break the body's fat metabolism balance, thereby increasing the pressure on cardiovascular operation and increasing the risk of hyperlipidemia.

, puffed food

puffed food adopts frying, microwave, baking and other processes, belongs to high-salt food . Under the principle of osmotic pressure , a large amount of sodium salt intake will lead to the loss of water in the human body, aggravate the thickening of blood , which can easily lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. It also contains high oils. If people with high blood lipids eat them for a long time, it will be very unfavorable to degrade the fat in the blood, which will lead to thickening of blood , which can easily cause vascular embolism .

, fried food

fried foods due to the production method, the oil content is high, and contains a lot of cholesterol. will increase the fat and oil content in the blood, leading to an increase in blood lipids in the body, and thus increase the low-density lipoprotein content in the blood . This greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease , and may also cause the production of fatty liver .

. Sweets (excessive sugars are converted into fat)

Whether it is people with hyperlipidemia or healthy people, sugar intake should be strictly controlled. When the body consumes excessive sugar and the human body cannot metabolize it as time goes by, these sugars will be converted into fat and accumulate in the body, thus significantly increasing the blood lipid content of .

However, in order to effectively control blood lipids and to avoid the above four foods, other measures are needed in life to achieve the purpose of lowering blood lipids.

How to lower blood lipids in daily life?

In order to lower blood lipids, in addition to eating less, there are many foods that can be eaten more in : common in life include mushrooms and fish, vegetables include cauliflower, celery, eggplant, corn, cucumber, etc., and fruits include apples, bananas, lychees, kiwi fruit , etc.

Take mushrooms as an example, mainly mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, etc. Mushroom foods have the characteristics of high in protein , low in fat, and rich in vitamin . , especially shiitake mushroom , is rich in nutrients and rich in amino acid , vitamins and blood lipid-lowering substances, etc. has the effect of lowering cholesterol , which can effectively prevent fat from depositing on the arterial wall.

Many people have a cognitive misunderstanding: they believe that eggs are high in cholesterol foods. is not the case. The egg yolk contains lecithin , which keeps the cholesterol and fat in the human blood floating without deposition in the blood vessel wall, which is conducive to lipids penetrating the blood vessel wall and reducing the blood cholesterol, so that effectively reduces the blood lipid level .

In addition to eggs, soybeans also contain lecithin . Eggs and soy milk can be eaten for breakfast.

What to eat and what not eat is ultimately to adjust the diet structure. As the saying goes, eating more will make you fat. You should adhere to the principle of "seven-point fullness" in your meal. In your diet, you should also increase the proportion of foods with low fat, low cholesterol, low sugar, salt and high fiber, and stay away from unhealthy diets. Eat soybeans, milk, etc. to get high-quality protein instead of animal offal, fat meat, etc.

Hyperlipidemia is often linked to obesity. Patients with hyperlipidemia may not be obese, but obese people are prone to hyperlipidemia. The so-called "control your mouth and move your legs" can control your weight. Regular and moderate exercise is also very important. exercises three to four times a week, and each exercise time is no less than forty minutes. This way, can effectively consume body fat instead of sugar, which can help reduce blood lipids and prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

For patients with severe hyperlipidemia, they must seek medical treatment in time and take drug treatment. Follow the doctor's advice, take medicine on time, and check blood lipid levels regularly. For hypercholesterolemia, you can take statin , and for hypertriglyceridemia, you can take fibrate drug .

Hyperlipidemia is a long-term chronic disease. Patients with must not stop the medication without authorization. Many people "diagnose by themselves" after seeing the data in the examination report stable, and stop the medicine without authorization. This is irresponsible for their health. You must check whether the medicine can be stopped after consulting the doctor.

Conclusion

In short, the living standards are getting better and better now, and the "three highs" diseases are also showing a trend of younger age. Groups of any age should adjust their diet structure in time, exercise regularly, avoid smoking and alcohol, and maintain a good lifestyle to stay away from such diseases.
