What does high cholesterol mean?
Cholesterol is divided into high-density cholesterol and low-density cholesterol. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol can cause damage to arteries. If there is more low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the risk of coronary heart disease will increase, which is commonly called "bad cholesterol". High-density lipoprotein cholesterol has the function of cleaning and dredging arteries and protecting the cardiovascular system, and is often called "good cholesterol".
Too much cholesterol intake will cause hypercholesterolemia, and then form so-called "rich diseases" such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Every unit (1mmol/L) of cholesterol added by Asians increases the risk of cardiovascular death by 35% and the risk of vascular-related stroke by 25%. Men with high cholesterol live four to nine years less than men with low cholesterol. The researchers observed the participants, ranging in age from 16 to 34.
Controlling the increase of cholesterol content can not only reduce the risk of heart disease, but also help to avoid renal failure. There are many reasons for high total cholesterol, including obstructive jaundice, liver cell damage, improper diet and so on. It can be seen that diet has a great influence on patients with high total cholesterol. When the total cholesterol is found to be high, you can eat more cholesterol-lowering foods.
What can't you eat with high cholesterol?
Control the cholesterol content in the diet, usually below 100 mg, or lower. Therefore, foods with extremely high contents such as animal viscera and egg yolk should be eaten less or not. People with high cholesterol should avoid eating foods rich in cholesterol, such as pig kidney, pig liver, chicken liver, shrimp skin, fresh crab roe, quail eggs, sheep head meat, preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, duck egg yolk, pig brain and so on. The cholesterol content of these animal foods is above mg100g, especially the latter three foods are above mg100g.
Reducing fat intake is the basis of controlling calories, and eating less fat and meat oil. Reduce animal fat such as lard, fat pork, butter, fat sheep, fat cattle, fat ducks, fat geese, etc. Because the saturated fat content in meat, eggs and milk foods, especially in fat, meat oil and internal organs, is relatively high.
Eating a lot of sugar can enhance the activities of various enzymes related to fat synthesis, thus increasing and aggravating fat synthesis. Therefore, patients with high cholesterol cannot eat sweets. People with high triglycerides can't drink alcohol, coffee or eat fruit with too high sweetness.
Don't eat seafood with cholesterol content, such as shrimp, crab, sardines, cuttlefish, crab roe, crab paste, clams, etc. Strictly abstain from alcohol, because alcohol will promote the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol and triglycerides, which will lead to an increase in blood lipids.
