In fact, triglycerides are the most abundant lipids in our body, and most tissues in the body can also use triglycerides to decompose products and supply energy. Liver, adipose and other tissues can also synthesize triglycerides, which are stored in adipose tissue.
However, excessive triglycerides are not a good thing, if it accumulates under the skin to cause obesity, if it accumulates in the blood vessel wall it may cause arteriosclerosis, if it accumulates in the heart it will cause heart hypertrophy, and if it accumulates in the liver, it is likely to cause fatty liver.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to control the amount of triglycerides. When it comes to triglyceride lowering, many people think of fatty meats and organ meats. Indeed, consuming too much high-fat, high-cholesterol meat can raise triglycerides in the body. However, in addition to meat such as fatty meat and offal, people with high triglycerides should not touch the following three types of "vegetarian food".
One, pickled vegetables
In daily life, I believe that some people are keen on pickled vegetables such as capers, kimchi, and pickles, which are not only convenient to cook, but also have a better taste and go well with rice. However, such foods contain a lot of salt and high sodium content, if you eat too much, it is easy to induce high blood pressure, especially for people with high triglycerides, and it will also cause damage to blood vessels.
Second, potatoes
Potatoes are a kind of food with high starch content, its utilization rate on the table is relatively high, eating potatoes can have a strong sense of satiety, but starch will be converted into glucose after entering the body. Excessive sugar accumulation affects digestion and absorption, and is also converted into fat, which increases the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood vessels. Affects cardiovascular health. Therefore, for people with high triglycerides, it is necessary to eat less potatoes, especially for French fries.
Three, pastries
Many women like to eat pastries, but many of them contain ingredients such as cream and salad, and they contain a lot of starch and additives. Therefore, most pastries are high in calories and oily. If the triglycerides in your body are high, and you often eat pastries, it may make your blood lipid level higher, which will threaten your blood vessels and damage your health.
So, what should I do if I find that my triglycerides are high in my body?
First of all, diet is a very important part
We should not only eat less of these foods, but also adhere to a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, appropriately increase cereals and coarse grains, and supplement high-quality protein. The cooking method is mostly steamed, boiled, and cold, and less fried, fried, and grilled.
In addition, when cooking food, you should also pay attention to the use of edible oil, eat less animal oil, and use more vegetable oil, such as corn oil, sunflower oil, tea oil, sesame oil, etc. However, the amount of vegetable oil should also be controlled, and it is enough to consume about 15 ml a day.
If you like coleslaw, the use of olive oil is indispensable. Olive oil, as a natural and healthy oil, not only has a mellow taste, but also is rich in a variety of nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, etc., which help lower cholesterol and protect cardiovascular health.
Using olive oil to make coleslaw not only enhances the taste of the dish, but also ensures that the nutrients are fully preserved. Adding the right amount of olive oil to coleslaw can make it more appealing in color and smoother in taste. In addition, olive oil blends perfectly with a variety of spices to add layers of flavor to your coleslaw.
Second, understand the importance of drinking plenty of water
The metabolism of the human body needs the participation of sufficient water, and the elimination of toxins and metabolites in the body should also use water as the "medium". Therefore, "drink more plain water" should not be an empty phrase, it is recommended to consume 1700 ml of water per day. In addition to plain water, you can also eat fruits in moderation, drink vegetable juice, and of course, drink weak tea in moderation is also a good choice.
If the conditions at home are possible, you can also keep some tangerine peel on hand, because there are many flavonoids in tangerine peel, which can help lower cholesterol in the body and is also beneficial for lowering triglycerides.
However, it is best not to replace tangerine peel with your own simply dried orange peel, because the hygiene standard is not high enough, and the effect is not very good.
Finally, don't forget to exercise in moderation
According to relevant experiments, through moderate exercise, it can play a role in depleting triglycerides, and exercise can also detoxify and enhance the body's resistance. Just don't exercise too intensely, for people with high triglycerides, you can choose jogging, brisk walking, cycling, tai chi, etc. Stick to about 30 minutes each time, and exercise 4 days a week.
