There are many folk recipes for lowering blood lipids, among which the more famous ones are --- eat onions to lower blood lipids. Eating a little onion every day, is it helpful to lower blood lipids in the end, and how much help is it? Sister Yu of Fujian province has personally experienced it once.
The 40-year-old yu eldest sister belongs to the type that married relatively late, and the family has a pair of children who are about to go to primary school. Two children are the treasures of the family, and the adults want to push the good food and drink to the children to eat.
The two children's favorite food is fried chicken, hamburgers, and spicy skewers, which are also loved by Yu's eldest sister. Sometimes the children can't eat it, and she also relieves the hunger. After a long time, Yu Dajie found high blood lipids.
After going to the hospital, Sister Yu paid great attention to diet and did not dare to eat indiscriminately. I heard that onions can lower blood lipids, and Sister Yu eats a little onion every day.
After half a year, Yu Dajie went to the hospital for a review to see how well her blood lipids were controlled. Unexpectedly, the inspection report made her dumbfounded.
Previously, the triglyceride value of Yu Dajie was 3.72mmol/L. But what about after eating onions for half a year?
The triglyceride value of Yu Dajie became 3.95mmol/L. What the? Not falling but rising?
The onion component does lower blood lipids, why is this happening?
Elder Sister Yu was particularly unable to accept this result. She told herself that she didn't eat blindly. Before eating, she checked it out.
Scientific research has confirmed that onions do contain ingredients that can lower blood lipids. One is called diallyl disulfide and the other is called sulfur-containing amino acids.
There is also a type called prostaglandin A. These ingredients dilate blood vessels and also prevent atherosclerosis. It's all good stuff! How can it be eaten, the blood lipid does not drop but rises?
The problem is the dosage!
The dosage of these ingredients in onions is too small. It is impossible for a person to achieve a standard dose by eating onions.
Why can someone control blood lipids by eating onions? That's because he probably did it with drugs and exercise.
So why did Sister Yu eat onions, but instead increased blood lipids?
Lowering blood lipids, inseparable from these points!
01 How to eat?
Including the eldest sister, I only know that I have to eat less meat if I have high blood lipids, but I don't know how to adjust the diet structure.
The amount of staple foods such as rice, noodles, and sweet potatoes should also be well controlled.
This is because after these carbohydrates enter the body, they will metabolize glucose into the bloodstream, thereby raising blood sugar. Eating more carbohydrates, more fat accumulated in the body, it is easier to get hyperlipidemia.
Therefore, after getting high blood lipids, it is not enough to simply eat lightly. Some staple foods and fruits with high sweetness should be controlled.
Not only that, but also pay attention to the way you cook. Onions are good, but you take a lot of oil to stir-fry, it is also unhealthy.
02 How to exercise?
In addition to keeping your mouth shut, you have to open your legs. Generally speaking, it is necessary to insist on exercising for more than three months to produce results.
Many patients who are bent on lowering blood lipids are too anxious. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets will not have a significant effect.
Therefore, it is more recommended that everyone take a walk. One is that walking is better to insist on, and the other is that its safety factor is also relatively high. It is not prone to sprains and other situations like other exercise methods.
03 How to drink water?
For patients with hyperlipidemia, water intake is also a critical step.
Many people have relatively high blood lipid concentrations and cannot keep up with the amount of water they drink. Drink water when you are thirsty, can the blood viscosity not be high?
Usually, if we want to prevent blood from thickening and aggravating the disease of high blood lipids, we must drink more water to ensure adequate water intake.
Dr.X said
Healthy ingredients are good, but we must also pay attention to the way they are mixed. Blindly superstitious eating a certain food can cure diseases, do the world still need hospitals, doctors, drugs, surgery? Healthy ingredients combined with other lipid-lowering methods can truly protect our health.
