"If you only eat an egg for breakfast, what kind of nutrition can you have?"
Uncle Liu was frying eggs in the kitchen, and his son Xiaojie, who had just gotten off the night shift, squinted his eyes and said slowly, he hadn't fully woken up yet. Xiaojie works in the property of the community, and he has to face all kinds of people and things every day, and he is exhausted. He often heard people say that eating too many eggs is not good, especially for blood lipids, so he is a little worried about his father's eating habits.
"I heard that eating more eggs and blood lipids are easy to soar, are you one every day, aren't you afraid?" Xiaojie continued. Uncle Liu was shocked when he heard this, he knew that his blood lipids had not been very ideal, so he decided to ask Dr. Li Xiaofeng from the hospital near his home, who had worked in the hospital for many years and was deeply trusted by the residents.
"Doctor Li, if I have an egg a day, will it cause high blood lipids?" Uncle Liu asked with concern. Li Xiaofeng smiled, he had answered this kind of question countless times, but he answered patiently every time.
"Uncle Liu, eggs themselves are actually very healthy for most people. It contains high-quality protein, as well as vitamins D, B complex, etc., which are beneficial when consumed in moderation. Regarding the effect of eggs on blood lipids, for healthy people, eating one egg a day does not significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. ”
"Then why do some people say that eating eggs will make blood lipids soar?" Uncle Liu asked curiously.
"This is mainly because everyone's physique is different. In particular, people who already have blood lipid problems may be more sensitive to fat intake, but more important is the overall diet structure. Li Xiaofeng explained that he always likes to add some vivid metaphors when explaining to make it easier for patients to understand.
"What do you usually eat besides eggs?" Li Xiaofeng continued to ask. Uncle Liu thought for a while, "It's nothing special, just bread, milk, and occasionally eat some sausages." ”
"It seems that we need to adjust your diet, such as processed meats, like the sausages you mentioned, which tend to contain more salt and preservatives, which are not good for blood lipids. Also, while milk is a good thing, the saturated fat in whole milk may also have an effect on blood lipids, so try switching to low-fat or skim milk. ”
"Also, although uncommon, certain seemingly healthy cereal products, if overprocessed, such as certain ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, may also have adverse effects on blood lipids due to the addition of high amounts of sugar and artificial ingredients." This point of view was a bit of a surprise to Uncle Liu, who did not expect that the healthy foods promoted in those advertisements might also have hidden dangers.
Li Xiaofeng saw that Uncle Liu was listening carefully, so he further explained: "In fact, the health of blood lipids is closely related to our overall lifestyle. In addition to diet, there are also aspects such as exercise and sleep. Only by all-round adjustment can blood lipids be effectively controlled. ”
Uncle Liu asked a question he had been concerned about: "Then my previous hyperlipidemia record shows that my LDL is high, does this have anything to do with my current diet?" ”
Li Xiaofeng replied in detail: "LDL is indeed a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Based on your medical history, as well as your eating habits, we can speculate that foods high in fat and sugar may be one of the reasons for your high LDL. Adjusting your diet, reducing your intake of these foods, and exercising in moderation can help improve your blood lipid profile. ”
