Xiao Li, who had just gotten off work, received the news that his grandfather was sick as soon as he came home, so he simply cleaned up and hurried to his grandfather's house, and took the oranges that his colleagues brought to him two days ago, thinking that he would let his grandfather supplement some vitamins.
When I arrived at my grandfather's house, I saw my grandfather sitting on the sofa, and when I asked, I learned that my grandfather suddenly felt dizzy and palpitations when he got up from a nap this afternoon, and was accompanied by chest tightness and congestion.
Worried about what was going on, the old couple hurriedly went to the hospital for an examination, but fortunately, Uncle Li was only a symptom caused by high blood lipids, and after treatment, the two prescribed symptoms and went home under the doctor's advice.
After grandpa finished telling Xiao Li about this, he wanted to take an orange to taste, but he was opened by grandma with one hand, and said to grandpa, "You still want to eat it! ”
Grandma's words made Xiao Li and Grandpa stunned, only to hear that people with high blood lipids need to limit the intake of fat, high-sugar and high-fat foods, when did oranges become the object of care? Where does the statement that oranges are "blood lipid assassins" come from?
Oranges have become a "life-booster" for high blood lipids? Don't believe rumors
Special attention should be paid to the diet of the three high-risk people, which is the common cognition of all patients with cardiovascular system diseases, so there are endless strategies and explanations on how to eat and which foods can not be eaten in patients with hyperlipidemia, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
And among them, it is inevitable that some people will put some less rigorous conclusions on the table in order to catch people's attention, among which orange is a "blood lipid assassin" belongs to this ranks, which can be said to mislead many elderly people like grandma.
The basis for the conclusion that oranges are the source of blood lipids at the moment is very simple, that is, oranges, as a sweet fruit, contain a lot of sugar, and patients with hyperlipidemia need to limit their sugar intake, so eating oranges will aggravate the symptoms of patients with hyperlipidemia.
At first glance, this may sound like a fine deal, but if you think about it, you will see that there is a loophole in it, and that is that he did not make it clear about the sugar content of oranges.
As the main nutrient in nature, sugar can be found in almost 90% of foods, so to judge whether a food is high in sugar must be judged according to its sugar content.
The sugar content of common oranges on the market is only about 9% to 10%, which is a low-sugar fruit among fruits, so for people with high blood lipids, as long as they do not eat a large amount at one time, they do not need to worry too much about the increase in blood sugar and the strengthening of blood lipid symptoms.
And oranges contain a lot of substances that are beneficial to health, oranges are rich in hesperidin, naringrugin, naringin, limonin, narcotin, citric acid, malic acid.
The peel contains nearly 70 kinds of active substances such as volatile oils, which are good substances for regulating blood lipids and protecting the cardiovascular system. In particular, vitamin C and other vitamin families can effectively enhance the elasticity of blood vessels, accelerate the removal of harmful substances in blood vessels, and regulate the accumulation of blood lipids and cholesterol.
Compared with oranges, these five foods are the real lipid assassins, see if you know all of them?
Of course, there is no problem with grandma's behavior of restricting grandpa's diet, after all, for cardiovascular diseases, many diseases are indeed diseases from the mouth, such as the following five foods, each of which is a real "blood lipid assassin", and people with high blood lipids must not let them on the table.
First: duck eggs.
Patients with hyperlipidemia should control the intake of fat and cholesterol, which is something that many patients understand, so eggs, as a representative of high protein and high cholesterol, have naturally become one of the restricted diets of patients with hyperlipidemia, but I don't know when some people with high blood lipids will use duck eggs instead of eggs to eat.
As everyone knows, the harm of duck eggs to people with high blood lipids may be more serious, and the cholesterol content inside duck eggs is not less than that of eggs, according to the data, every 100 grams of duck egg yolk contains 1522 mg of cholesterol, which even exceeds eggs.
And the volume of duck eggs is generally larger than that of eggs, and the way to eat is mainly salted duck eggs, which makes duck egg yolk, the main carrier of cholesterol, the main edible object, so it is very unfavorable for controlling cholesterol and reducing blood lipids.
Second: fatty meat.
This is not unfamiliar to everyone, taking braised pork as an example, the fat itself contains a large amount of lipids, which will be released into the blood in the form of triglycerides and other forms after entering the body, increasing blood lipid concentration, aggravating atherosclerosis, and improving blood viscosity, resulting in poor blood circulation.
In addition, in order to reduce the greasy feeling of fatty meat during the production process, a large amount of sugar and other flavoring agents are often added, which will also aggravate the blood lipids and blood sugar concentration in the blood to a certain extent, resulting in the aggravation of symptoms in patients with hyperlipidemia.
Third: animal offal.
Compared with fatty meat, many animal offal does not seem to be so high in oil and fat, especially some animal livers such as pig liver, chicken liver, etc., can not see obvious fat tissue, but if you think so, it is very wrong.
According to statistics, there are 288 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams of pork liver, 476 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams of chicken liver, and the cholesterol content of pig brain per 100 grams is as high as 2571 mg!
These seemingly harmless internal organs are actually full of blood lipid assassins, which can easily lead to cholesterol accumulation, aggravate blood vessel blockage, and induce blood clots.
Fourth: high-sugar fruits.
Above we said that oranges are a beneficial fruit for patients with hyperlipidemia, but not all fruits are like this, oranges are low-sugar fruits, so there are corresponding high-sugar fruits.
For example, the sugar content of our common sweet jujube is as high as 30 grams of sugar per 100 grams, and the sugar content of durian, grapes, hawthorn and other products is also about 20%, and high sugar and high fat are the "concomitant causes" of the cardiovascular system.
Fifth: Drinking.
Compared with the above foods, the effect of alcohol on high blood lipids is often overlooked. The main reason why everyone pays attention to drinking alcohol is because of the bridge relationship between the liver and the two.
After we ingest lipids, they are usually broken down into small molecules such as triglycerides and fatty acids in the small intestine and enter the blood, and these lipid molecules will follow the blood into the liver, and then be converted into fat to become energy storage substances under the action of a series of enzyme molecules in the liver, while avoiding the accumulation of excessive lipids in the blood to induce cardiovascular disease.
The decomposition and digestion of wine are also in the liver, and drinking alcohol hurts the liver, which is also the common sense of most people's lives, because a large amount of alcohol intake will greatly increase the burden on the liver. For patients with hyperlipidemia, fatty liver is a very common complication, and then drinking alcohol to increase the fat burden is naturally not beneficial to the regulation of blood lipids.
Don't wait for blood lipids to come to your door, self-examination of high blood lipids starts from the following aspects
According to statistics, the number of people with dyslipidemia in the mainland can be as high as 200 million, but many people in life cannot find dyslipidemia in time, just like Uncle Li, who has been diagnosed with hyperlipidemia when he finds out.
In fact, we can find the existence of hyperlipidemia through multiple signs in our lives, and if we can find it in advance, it is of great significance for the control of blood lipids and the prevention of hyperlipidemia.
Start by looking at the eye changes. Vision loss is a typical manifestation of people with hyperlipidemia, and the impact of hyperlipidemia on blood circulation as a typical cardiovascular disease is certain, and the eye is one of the most sensitive parts of our body to blood supply.
When hyperlipidemia occurs, the blood viscosity increases and the circulatory resistance increases, resulting in insufficient blood supply and nourishment to the optic nerve and retina, and vision loss will occur.
Many patients with hyperlipidemia also have a corneal ring in the eye, that is, a grayish-white ring band at the junction of black and white in the eyeball, which is also a typical symptom caused by blood circulation disorders. In addition, there are yellow warts, which is a common symptom around the eyes in women or older patients with hyperlipidemia, and is caused by raised granules caused by increased body fat content and abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands.
This is followed by symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and slurred thinking.
The brain is the most sensitive to blood supply, and there is basically no energy storage in the brain, so it needs to rely on blood flow to supply glucose and sugar for metabolic energy.
The blood viscosity and slower flow rate caused by hyperlipidemia will affect the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells in the blood and glucose supply.
In particular, elevated blood lipids can also increase the risk of arterial blockage, and when it comes to the carotid arteries and vertebral arteries that supply the brain, it will lead to symptoms of dizziness and confusion due to ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue.
In short, cardiovascular diseases such as the three highs have long penetrated into all groups of people in life, so we must be vigilant to prevent the occurrence of hyperlipidemia in an all-round way from the aspects of diet, work and rest, and check in time once abnormalities are found, and strive to strangle hyperlipidemia in the cradle stage.
