In the golden autumn of October, the osmanthus is fragrant. 37-year-old Zhang Wei has always felt flustered and short of breath recently, and he will suddenly wake up when he sleeps at night, and the whole person is not in a state, and finally, under the repeated urging of his family, he came to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.
After the physical examination report came out, Dr. Chen Liang, the attending doctor, told Zhang Wei with a solemn expression that his total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly high, and that he had reached the diagnostic criteria for hyperlipidemia, and if he was not controlled, it was likely to cause serious cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Zhang Weiwei was taken aback and couldn't help asking: "Doctor, I have always paid attention to a healthy diet, drinking a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice every morning, eating boiled vegetables at noon, eating steamed fish for dinner, and rarely eating fatty meat and fried food, how can I still get hyperlipidemia?"
After listening to this, Dr. Chen said meaningfully, "Mr. Zhang, your eating habits seem to be healthy, but in fact, they are secretly murderous.
Although freshly squeezed fruit juice is rich in vitamin C, it also contains a large amount of fructose, which can easily cause blood lipids and blood sugar to rise. "
The doctor went on to explain: "In addition to fruits, some common foods may also push blood lipids, such as refined sweets, full-fat dairy products, coconut oil and other foods with high saturated fat, as well as fatty meats, animal offal and other foods with high cholesterol content, which need to be paid attention to." "
"I see, I thought that the more fruits I ate, the better, but I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge, so what else do I need to pay attention to?" Zhang Wei suddenly realized.
"The first step is to eat a balanced diet that is good for the heart like fresh vegetables, whole grains, legumes and deep-sea fish, and eating nuts such as walnuts in moderation can help lower LDL-C.
Secondly, it is necessary to control the total calories in the diet, avoid overeating, maintain a healthy weight, and finally combine moderate exercise to keep the body active. The doctor patiently advised.
After listening to the doctor's words, Zhang Wei woke up like a dream, nodded again and again to show that he understood, and he secretly made up his mind that from now on, he must establish a scientific concept of diet to keep his heart away from the invasion of diseases.
Hyperlipidemia refers to a group of metabolic disorders in which the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood are increased, or the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are reduced.
Long-term hyperlipidemia can accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, lead to coronary artery stenosis, and cause coronary heart diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, which seriously threatens life and health.
Some common fruits such as lychee, durian, and red dates are high in calories and sugar, and although oranges are rich in vitamins, a large amount of fiber is removed when freshly pressed, and the sugar concentration of the remaining fruit juice is greatly increased.
The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that it is advisable to consume 200-350 grams of fruits per person per day, and it is best to choose fresh fruits in season, which can not only supplement nutrients, but also control calorie intake.
In short, hyperlipidemia is a "sword of Damocles" hanging over the heart, and only through a reasonable diet and a healthy lifestyle can the blood lipid balance be maintained, so that the heart can be kept away from the haze of disease and rejuvenated.
