I don t eat much meat, why is the total cholesterol still high???

It is related to the fact that the liver does not break down fat.

Cholesterol mainly comes from the body's own synthesis, and cholesterol in food is a secondary supplement. Cholesterol in nature is mainly found in animal foods, and there is no cholesterol in plants. Although cholesterol is found in animal foods, the amount of cholesterol varies greatly from animal to animal and from animal to animal.

In general, lean meat has a higher cholesterol content than poultry meat, fatty meat is higher than lean meat, shellfish and molluscs are higher than ordinary fish, and egg yolks, fish roe and animal offal have the highest cholesterol content.

Cholesterol is actually an indispensable and important substance in human tissue cells, it not only participates in the formation of cell membranes, but also is the raw material of single-way bile acids and vitamin D, and cholesterol is divided into two kinds of high-density cholesterol and low-density cholesterol in the body. HDL cholesterol has a protective effect on blood vessels and is often referred to as "good cholesterol". If LDL cholesterol is high, the risk factors for coronary heart disease increase, and it is often referred to as "bad cholesterol".

Total cholesterol includes these two items, and when looking at the results, the main focus should be on HDL and LDL.

Total cholesterol is high, and in addition to dietary reasons, there are other reasons, such as glucose metabolism disorders, obesity, obstructive jaundice, familial hereditary, etc.

No. Avoid foods rich in cholesterol, such as pork kidney, pork liver, chicken liver, shrimp rotten or skin, fresh crab roe, quail eggs, lamb's head, Songhua duck cherry eggs, salted duck eggs, duck egg yolks, egg yolks, and pig brains.

Fish contains a lot of higher unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for lowering blood cholesterol. Black garlic is a commonly used measure in dietary therapy, and it is safe and convenient to eat.

Cholesterol-lowering foods:

1. Apples. Because it is rich in pectin, fiber and vitamin C, it has a good lipid-lowering effect.

2. Carrots. Rich in calcium pectinate, it is excreted in the stool after a chemical reaction with bile acids.

3. Corn. It has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol.

4. Soybeans. Researchers have found that eating 115 grams of legumes a day lowers cholesterol.

5. Tea. Tea can lower blood lipids.

Hello, there are really many friends who have questions about this, they don't eat meat or eggs on weekdays, and even the amount of oil for stir-frying is limited, why is cholesterol still easy to be high? This may be due to too much self-synthesis, or a problem with fat catabolism.

Synthesis of too much.

There are two ways of cholesterol** in the human body, one is obtained through food, and the other is synthesized by Ziye's own tissue cells. Cholesterol is synthesized by itself accounts for 70%-80% of the total cholesterol in the body and is mainly synthesized in the liver. If the liver metabolism is abnormal, the body synthesizes a large amount of cholesterol uncontrollably, which can easily lead to an increase in cholesterol levels.

One of the main raw materials for the liver to synthesize cholesterol is glucose. If you don't control your carbohydrate intake (a staple food), it can also lead to excess cholesterol.

There is a metabolic disorder in the dividing pulse.

High blood lipids may be caused by genetic inheritance, which is often referred to as familial hypercholesterolemia and is also the most serious type of lipid metabolism disease. If one or both parents inherit a gene that has a problem with the LDL receptor used to brace the code, the condition is more likely to occur.

In this case, medications** can be used, often statins, such as Ruizhi, which can effectively lower cholesterol. At the same time, it is also necessary to control the diet, eat less foods rich in saturated fatty acids, choose more high-fiber foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and exercise.

Cholesterol is not always eaten.

In fact, there are two kinds of cholesterol in the human body, one is eating, and the other is synthesized by the body.

Dietary cholesterol is basically the same as animal foods, such as eggs, animal offal, brain spinal cord, etc. However, the human body's ability to absorb cholesterol in food is extremely low, and the maximum can only absorb about 40%, which does not play a decisive role in the overall cholesterol level.

What really affects the body's cholesterol levels is actually the cholesterol that the body synthesizes itself. The liver and small intestine are responsible for most of the cholesterol synthesis, and when the liver is too hyperfunctional, the cholesterol synthesized will be much more than the body needs, which is one of the causes of hypercholesterolemia.

Therefore, although the high-cholesterol foods circulating on the Internet do contain relatively rich cholesterol, normal consumption will not have a significant impact on the body's cholesterol levels.

As an indispensable and important element of human cells, cholesterol is not only an important component of cell membranes, but also participates in the formation of bile acid and the synthesis of hormones, which has an important position for the human body. However, too high cholesterol levels will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we still have to learn how to control our cholesterol levels.

If the increase in cholesterol and cholesterol in the blood is not only caused by a high-quality diet, there may be other factors that contain mammoth oranges. Although some people do not eat high-cholesterol foods and have cholesterol synthesis problems in the body, cholesterol will still accumulate in groups. There is also Ting, genetic factors and personal physical influences.

I think you can eat more kelp because kelp is rich in taurine, which can lower blood pressure and cholesterol in bile. Contains dietary fiber alginic acid, which can also inhibit the absorption of cholesterol and promote excretion. You can also eat more fish, because the fatty acids contained in fish are very good for the heart. In addition, fatty acids can lower blood pressure, triglycerides, and prevent stroke.

You can also eat leeks, in addition to calcium, phosphorus, iron, sugar and protein, vitamin A, C, but also contain carotene and a lot of fiber, etc., can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, have a good laxative effect, can eliminate excessive nutrients in the intestines, including excess fat, to achieve the effect of body shaping.

If the diet is still relatively light, but the cholesterol is still very high, then you can add regular exercise, and regular exercise can reduce cholesterol.

If you have high cholesterol, you should insist on taking medication and eat less greasy food. It is necessary to strictly control your lifestyle and eating habits in order to control your cholesterol well.

The reason why the diet is light, but the cholesterol can't go down, too much staple food, excessive total calorie intake, improper cooking methods, and a complete vegetarian diet lead to a lack of necessary nutrients, which affects the lipid metabolism in the body's lack of vitamins B1, B2, and B6 (milk, eggs, meat, and fish are rich in these elements). B vitamins are involved in regulating the metabolism of sugar and lipids, and promote their conversion into calories and consumption'

This is due to the fact that there are two types of cholesterol in humans, namely endogenous and exogenous. Food intake is exogenous, accounting for about 20, and hepatic synthesis is endogenous, accounting for about 80. In addition, certain diseases and genetic causes can also cause high cholesterol.

The liver is the main organ of cholesterol in the body. In the absence of food**, the liver synthesizes about 1g of cholesterol per day. If part of the cholesterol is obtained from food, the liver will synthesize it relatively less to maintain the homeostasis of cholesterol in the body.

Therefore, even if you eat a vegetarian diet every day, the amount of cholesterol that the liver will synthesize is still very high.

Some people with high cholesterol run in families. Familial high cholesterol has a lot to do with genetic mutations. Homozygous gene mutations in LDL are typically 4-6 times higher, while heterozygous gene mutations in LDL are typically 2-3 times higher.

Certain conditions such as metabolic syndrome, kidney disease, thyroid decline, diabetes, gout, and chronic pancreatitis can also cause elevated cholesterol levels. Decreased estrogen levels in women after menopause can also increase cholesterol.

The ability of the intestine to absorb cholesterol also has a significant impact on blood cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is not directly absorbed by the liver or is first excreted into the intestines along with bile acids and then into the bloodstream through the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, the ability of the intestines to absorb cholesterol is also an important factor in maintaining the level of cholesterol in the blood.

When the intestinal tract increases its ability to absorb cholesterol, so does the amount of cholesterol in the blood.

As a result, cholesterol obtained from food is only a very small fraction. Even so, it is still necessary for patients with high cholesterol to avoid eating animal offal, red meat and high-fat foods, and supplement some fiber diet, and the daily intake of cholesterol should be less than 200mg. In addition, exercise should be intensified to control weight.

If cholesterol is elevated for a long time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination.

Although the diet is very light, if the calorie intake is too high, this condition can also trigger cholesterol, and usually such people are due to lack of exercise.

It depends on age and physical health. When there is a problem with the body's liver and gallbladder function, it cannot break down cholesterol in time, and cholesterol will become high.

The food is very light, but the cholesterol content is still very high when checked, this situation may be like to eat animal offal, although the usual diet is lighter, but this category is not controlled, so the cholesterol content is still very high.

Drugs**When the blood lipids still cannot be reduced to the ideal level after reasonable adjustment of dietary structure, change of bad lifestyle habits, and strengthening physical exercise, it is necessary to start drugs**. At present, there are many drugs to adjust blood lipids, which are mainly divided into the following three categories: (1) Statins, which mainly reduce cholesterol, such as Shuxiazhi, Pragu, etc.; (2) Fibrates:

Mainly to reduce triglycerides, such as Noheng, Lipin, etc.;

3) Natural medicines, which are effective in reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, and can increase high-density lipoprotein, have the effect of comprehensively regulating blood lipids, and are small, such as blood lipids. Because hyperlipidemia is a slow process, the regulation of blood lipids, especially the elimination of adverse effects of blood lipids, also requires a continuous process, so patients should choose lipid-lowering drugs with obvious lipid-lowering effect and low toxicity according to their different conditions.

If your cholesterol is slightly high, the main thing is to pay attention to a light diet and not eat high-cholesterol foods, such as animal offal, especially liver, eggs, especially egg yolks, fatty meat and other animal foods.
