"What meat doesn't raise blood lipids? Is it duck meat? The doctor explained: High blood lipids often eat these 3 meats, and there is no effect. This sentence went viral in the circle of friends and attracted countless likes and forwards.
Ms. Wang, a middle-aged woman who is heartbroken for her family's health every day, saw this news, her eyes lit up, and she quickly forwarded it to her husband, Mr. Li, and attached a voice: "Lao Li, look, this article says that duck meat does not raise blood lipids, we can eat more duck meat in the future, you have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, eating more duck meat is good for your health." ”
Mr. Li was frying fish in the kitchen, and when he heard Ms. Wang's voice, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What kind of mess are you looking at again?"
What the doctor said is a lie, how can you lower your blood lipids without eating meat? Look at me, I've been eating meat for many years, and my blood lipids are still high. ”
Not to be outdone, Ms. Wang retorted: "What the doctor said, can it be fake? You look at this article, how detailed it is, and it also lists three kinds of meat that does not raise blood lipids, you see, duck meat, fish, chicken, are all good things, we can eat more in the future. ”
"What the doctor says is not necessarily right, you look at those experts on the Internet, they are slapping their faces every day, who knows who is telling the truth? Besides, even if duck meat doesn't raise blood lipids, you can't just eat duck meat, you have to eat a balanced diet and all kinds of meat. Mr. Li put down the spatula and said in a tough tone.
Ms. Wang was choked by Mr. Li's words, but she still didn't give up: "Then you say, what kind of meat should we eat?" You can't eat vegetables every day, right? ”
Mr. Li pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest that you go to the hospital to consult a doctor, don't listen to those nonsense on the Internet, the doctor will give you professional advice according to your physical condition." ”
Ms. Wang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go to the hospital to consult a doctor. She went to the community hospital and found Dr. Zhang from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. Dr. Zhang is an experienced doctor with in-depth knowledge in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
Ms. Wang showed Dr. Zhang the article in the circle of friends and asked, "Doctor, is it true that this article says that duck meat does not raise blood lipids?" ”
Dr. Zhang patiently explained: "This article is not entirely correct, although duck meat is relatively low in fat, it also contains saturated fatty acids, and eating too much will also increase blood lipids. Moreover, the formation of hyperlipidemia is a complex factor, and in addition to diet, genetics, age, lifestyle, etc., will affect blood lipid levels. ”
"So what kind of meat doesn't raise blood lipids?" Ms. Wang asked.
Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, there is no kind of meat that can completely not raise blood lipids, the key is to control the total fat intake, choose meat with low fat content, such as fish and chicken, and eat it in moderation and not in excess." In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to controlling cholesterol intake and eating less animal offal and fatty meat. ”
"And what kind of meat do you recommend I eat?" Ms. Wang asked.
"I recommend that you eat more fish that is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, cod, etc., which are not only low in fat, but also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for cardiovascular health," says Dr Zhang. In addition, chicken is also a good choice, you can choose chicken breast, which is lower in fat. ”
"What about the duck?" Ms. Wang asked.
Dr Teo said, "Duck meat is relatively high in fat, so it is recommended that you eat less. If you want to eat duck meat, you can choose duck breast, which is relatively low in fat. "Thank you, doctor, I see." Ms. Wang nodded, and finally had a deeper understanding of the diet with high blood lipids.
"In addition to diet, we should also pay attention to weight control, maintain moderate exercise, quit smoking and limit alcohol, which are all important measures to prevent and control hyperlipidemia," Dr. Zhang advises. ”
Ms. Wang left the hospital in a much lighter mood. She finally understood that the treatment of hyperlipidemia is a long-term process, which needs to be adjusted from many aspects such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits, and cannot only rely on a specific food.
Back home, Ms. Wang told Dr. Zhang what Mr. Li had said, and Mr. Li finally understood the dangers of hyperlipidemia and agreed to change her eating habits with Ms. Wang to live a healthy life.
Since then, Ms. Wang and Mr. Li have started to focus on a healthy diet, reducing their intake of red meat, increasing their intake of fish and chicken, and maintaining regular exercise and regular check-ups.
After a few months, Mr. Li's blood lipid levels decreased significantly and his physical condition improved. Ms. Wang also feels lighter and her mental state is much better.
The experiences of Ms. Wang and Mr. Li are just one example of countless families. In the age of the Internet, all kinds of health information are overwhelming, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Many people are easily confused by some seemingly "authoritative" health information and ignore scientific health knowledge.
In fact, the prevention and control of hyperlipidemia is not complicated, the key is to adhere to a scientific diet and lifestyle.
Control total fat intake: Fat intake should be limited to 20%-30% of total energy.
Choose meats that are low in fat: such as fish, chicken, lean meat, etc.
Control cholesterol intake: Eat less animal offal, fatty meat, egg yolks, etc.
Maintain regular exercise: Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Quitting smoking can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and alcohol restriction can control weight and lower blood lipid levels.
Regular medical check-ups: Regular check-ups can detect health problems such as hyperlipidemia in time and provide effective treatment.
