What are Triglycerides? I believe that many people do not know the specific answer. The so-called triglycerides, is the highest content of lipid substances in the human body, its decomposition products can provide energy for the human body, and it is also an indispensable component for the human body. Under normal circumstances, what should be the body's triglyceride level?
From the aspect of clinical research, the triglyceride level in a normal human body should be below 1.70mmol/L, and if it remains in this state, the body's energy supply will remain normal. If the level of triglycerides is in the range of 1.70-2.26mmol/L, it means that the body has suffered from hyperlipidemia.
In order to avoid further development of the disease, patients need to improve their lifestyle, such as regular daily work and rest time, maintaining an optimistic attitude, and regularly participating in exercise to reduce triglyceride levels in the body and keep blood lipids within the normal range;
People with too high triglycerides should also be controlled in their diet, such as not eating greasy, sweet and greasy high-fat, high-calorie foods, and usually drink more water to dilute the blood, accelerate blood circulation, make the human body better metabolism, help reduce blood lipids, and also help the improvement of triglycerides.
If the level of triglycerides is higher than 2.26mmol, it is best to take drugs in time according to the doctor's instructions to treat the disease, so as not to cause the following 3 types of diseases.
1. Diabetic complications
Diabetes is a metabolic chronic disease, under normal circumstances, as long as the blood sugar is controlled, the disease can be stabilized, and the incidence of complications can be reduced.
However, if diabetic patients do not control the level of triglycerides, it may also lead to hard exudation of the retina and macular degeneration, kidney lesions and other phenomena, so diabetics should not only pay attention to blood glucose levels, but also regularly go to the hospital for physical examination, so as not to cause various complications after the triglyceride exceeds the normal range.
2. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Triglycerides are above 2.26mmol/L for a long time, resulting in the elasticity of blood vessels becoming worse and worse, and will become more and more hard, which will further cause atherosclerosis over a long period of time, resulting in hardening of blood vessels in the neck, heart, lower limbs and other parts, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease is therefore increased.
If you suffer from cardiovascular disease, patients should strengthen the control of triglycerides, but also actively control the primary disease, so as not to cause myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, so that the patient's death, disability rate increased.
3. Acute pancreatitis
Triglycerides have reached ≥1000mg, which means that it has developed to an extremely high level, which will lead to the obstruction of the microvascular of the pancreas after thrombosis, resulting in a great increase in the probability of acute pancreatitis in patients.
If acute pancreatitis occurs, it will cause severe pain in the patient's upper abdomen, and may also cause nausea, vomiting, and shock, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for corresponding examination and treatment.
Everyone should try to keep the level of triglycerides below 1.70mmol /L in the usual time, if it is found that the triglycerides have increased, they should adjust the diet structure, strengthen physical exercise to keep the weight within the normal range, and the triglyceride level also has the opportunity to return to normal.
So as not to exceed the triglyceride level for a long time, causing chronic damage to the body after causing the occurrence of the above three types of diseases, so that the quality of life of patients is reduced, and even threatens life safety.
