Many middle-aged people began to pay attention to health. In order to avoid hyperlipidemia, they even started to eat only vegetarian food.

Retired Jason is one of them. She always thought her diet was healthy. First of all, she has been a vegetarian for several years, and in order to avoid malnutrition caused by vegetarianism.

She also made her own nutrition. She carefully selects nuts such as walnuts, sesame seeds, almonds and red dates, grinds these nuts into powder, and drinks a big bowl of boiled water every day without any sugar. It's all healthy food, delicious and hungry.

Later, the unit organized a physical examination for retired employees. Unexpectedly, Jason was found to have high triglycerides, which surprised her. With such a healthy eating habit, why did she get hyperlipidemia?

Only after consulting a doctor did she know that she was sick because she thought she was a healthy "vegetarian".

In view of the high fat content in nuts, the doctor advised Jason not to eat his own nutrition.

In fact, hyperlipidemia has little to do with whether people are fat or not, whether they eat meat or not, and whether they eat wrong. Even if you don't eat any meat, even thin people will get hyperlipidemia.

Why do some people get hyperlipidemia if they are vegetarian every day?

Vegetarianism refers to a diet that does not eat animal food. Vegetarian food is mainly composed of grains, beans, vegetables and fruits. Vegetarianism is high in dietary fiber and contains nutrients such as plant compounds. Proper consumption can reduce blood lipid and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

However, a complete vegetarian diet does not mean that blood lipids will not increase. This is because people usually only collect vegetarian food itself, but ignore the misunderstanding of vegetarian food, which leads to hyperlipidemia.

Because people's blood lipid metabolism ability is different, so some people eat meat every day and their blood lipid does not increase, while some people may still have high blood lipid even if they don't touch a little meat, so we can't generalize.

Misunderstanding of vegetarianism;

1, I ate too much staple food.

Because you don't eat meat, the intake of rice noodles will increase. The carbohydrate content in rice flour is very high. If you eat too much, it will be converted into triglycerides in your body and stored. Over time, it will increase blood lipids.

2. The total calorie intake exceeds the standard.

If you are a vegetarian, you will always feel greedy. If you eat some food easily, even if you eat vegetarian food, the total calorie intake in one day will exceed the standard.

3. Wrong food choices.

Although some people don't eat meat, they like to eat nuts such as melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts and chestnuts, or other snacks. These foods are high in oil content and small in size. If you are not careful, you will eat too much, resulting in high blood lipids.

4. The cooking method is wrong.

Although I don't eat meat, I like to use frying and other cooking methods when I am a vegetarian, so vegetarian dishes still contain a lot of oil, and my blood fat naturally rises.

Long-term vegetarianism may also lead to disorder of blood lipid metabolism because the body lacks necessary nutrition.

In particular, I have insulin resistance, unbalanced fat metabolism, and simply not eating meat, which will cause vitamin B deficiency in the body, disorder the metabolism of regulating sugar and fat, and increase blood lipids.

How to eat is conducive to lowering blood fat?

Patients with hyperlipidemia should not be vegetarian, let alone partial eclipse, which is harmful to their health.

Instead, it is necessary to adopt a balanced diet with a complete range of foods and appropriate proportions to ensure that the body can obtain various nutrients.

We should adhere to the five principles of low calorie, low fat, low cholesterol, low sugar and high fiber in diet.

In addition, we should adhere to reasonable exercise, insist on aerobic exercise for half an hour to an hour every day, and do it four to five times a week to help the body consume excess oil.

If the blood lipid is still high after two to three months of lifestyle adjustment, you should take medicine according to the doctor's advice after evaluation, and don't buy drugs and health products yourself.
