Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, first of all, to all readers and friends to say goodbye to the New Year! I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Tiger, good health and all the best!
On the first day of the new year, continue to popularize health knowledge for everyone, what did you eat at last night's New Year's Chinese New Year's Eve meal? Are there still a few party drinking rooms waiting for you during the holidays? New Year's Day, it is inevitable to eat and drink, but at the same time of eating and drinking, we must also pay attention to physical health, and one of the most direct effects brought about by overeating is the problem of elevated blood lipid indicators - triglycerides, and elevated triglycerides will also bring certain health risks, which deserves our special attention. In today's popular science article, let's talk to you about the things that elevate and control triglycerides.
What are the risks associated with elevated triglycerides?
Friends who have a certain understanding of blood lipid indicators know that usually there are four indicators of blood lipid testing, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, and sometimes include lipoprotein a, apolipoprotein and other indicators, and in various blood lipid indicators, the value of triglycerides represents the amount of primary products of human lipid metabolism, and is also an indicator most affected by diet and external environmental factors.
During the new spring, big fish and meat eat too much, drink a lot of alcohol, stay up late, etc., will lead to the rise of triglycerides, and friends who have the problem of elevated triglycerides, if you pay more attention, under the influence of these factors, the further elevation of triglycerides may bring greater risk.
What are the health risks associated with elevated triglycerides? There are two main aspects that should be noted, one is the impact of cardiovascular health, elevated triglycerides on the one hand will cause an increase in blood viscosity, blood flow rate becomes slower, the risk of coagulation in the blood will further increase, at the same time, too many triglycerides can not be further transformed, will also have a further impact on the health of arterial blood vessels, accelerate the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, increase the risk of arterial vascular cardiovascular disease.
In addition to cardiovascular effects, elevated triglycerides will also lead to an increase in large particles of lipid particles in the blood, especially in the case of severe elevated triglycerides, lipid particles will block the pancreatic capillaries, trigger acute inflammation, leading to the problem of acute pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, not only painful and unbearable, severe disease may also bring life risk, but also lead to pancreatic cell damage, is one of the important causative factors leading to insufficient insulin secretion, elevated blood sugar diabetes.
People at risk of elevated triglycerides
Who is more likely to have elevated triglycerides? The following situations deserve special attention.
1. Overweight and obese people, especially those with abdominal circumference obesity and accompanied by fatty liver, have a higher proportion of elevated triglycerides.
2. People who drink alcohol for a long time. Long-term heavy alcohol consumption will damage the metabolic function of the liver for lipids, and the most direct problem brought about by this effect is the problem of elevated triglycerides.
3, overeating, overeating people, a meal of overeating, will lead to the rise of triglycerides, and if the long-term overeating of the population, it is more likely to have excess energy, triglycerides elevated problems.
4, love to eat sweets, eat too much sugar people, the impact of diet on triglycerides, but also include excessive intake of sugar, excessive intake of sugar in addition to supplying human energy needs, excess sugar will be converted into triglycerides.
5. People who over-diet. In addition to eating too much, excessive dieting can also lead to abnormal lipid metabolism in the liver, triggering the elevation of triglycerides, and the truth of overcorrection is sometimes applied to people's physiological changes.
6. Friends with certain related disease problems, patients with hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc., are people who should pay attention to monitoring triglyceride levels.
Therefore, if there are the above eating habits, or health problems, or bad risk factors of friends, during the New Year, it is more important to pay attention to try to avoid further elevating triglycerides because of the New Year, bringing unnecessary health risks.
It is important to regulate triglyceride levels and do a good job of 3 points
Generally speaking, the normal level of triglycerides is within 1.8mmol/L, if it exceeds 1.8, it has not exceeded 2.3mmol, it belongs to the case of marginal elevation, the value within 5.6 is a mild to moderate elevation, and if it exceeds 5.6mmol/L, it is severely elevated, so it is very important to actively regulate elevated triglycerides in combination with the actual situation.
The first thing that should be noted is the diet, as we said earlier, high-fat diet, high-sugar diet eating too much, may lead to the rise of triglycerides, pay attention to reasonable control of diet, light diet, is an important aspect of controlling triglycerides, sometimes some due to diet too greasy brought about by transient triglycerides elevated problems, after the restoration of light diet and normal diet, triglycerides will also appear significant decline.
The second is the exercise aspect, which is a good recipe for lowering triglycerides during exercise. Mild to moderate triglyceride elevation problem, by strengthening exercise, increasing the body's metabolic capacity, improving the amount of visceral fat, for triglycerides often have a very obvious reduction effect, many mild triglycerides elevated friends, by insisting on exercise, triglycerides can soon be restored to the normal range. Diet control and adherence to exercise exercise is also an important aspect of improving obesity and improving the body's metabolic abnormalities, therefore, through diet and exercise, reasonable weight control can not only reduce triglycerides, but also comprehensively improve the body's metabolic capacity.
If it is a friend with severe triglyceride elevation, in addition to diet and exercise, reasonable drug control is also very necessary, in the new cardiovascular guidelines, for the problem of elevated triglycerides, first consider the use of statins, but in fact, statins for the control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels more clearly, and for the impact of triglycerides, often not so large, in addition to statins, fibrates, niacin derivatives, high-purity fish oil preparations, etc., It is also very important to regulate drugs that can be used for elevated triglycerides, which should be regulated with drugs, and it is also very important to reasonably select drugs for regulation.
