“high blood fat” (Hypercholesterolemia) It is a condition where the body has an imbalance in the level of fat in the bloodstream. It can be high cholesterol levels. or high triglyceride levels, either or both types of height Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. which can be life threatening
Why are thin people at risk of high blood lipids? ?
“blood fat” This is the part of fat that dissolves in the blood stream, as opposed to “fat that accumulates under the skin”
Hyperlipidemia is dangerous for many diseases. it can lead to sudden death
High fiber “Yam” reduces the risk of colon cancer and heart disease. So which color is better to eat?
Therefore, obese people may not always have hypercholesterolemia, and thin people … it does not mean that they are immune from this risk. Because there are other factors and causes that can cause such as
- Heredity: Father or mother or family history of hyperlipidemia In this article there is another reason why thin people have high blood cholesterol.
- with certain diseases, such as an underactive thyroid, liver disease, or diabetes
- obese or overweight
- Eat foods high in fat, such as fried or lean meats, skin, milk and products, bacon, ham, lard, palm oil, or foods high in trans fats, such as butter, margarine, some pastry and bakery products. French fries, etc.
- drinking large amounts of alcohol regularly or smoking heavily
- doesn’t like exercise
Why? High blood fat…which increases the risk of “heart disease”
These higher than normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels are deposited on the artery walls. causing inflammation and arteriosclerosis and when accumulating more and more the arteries in the body will be restricted or blocked. is the cause of coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease leading to myocardial ischemia or heart attack which is an acute condition…life threatening
blood fat detection ?
In tests to diagnose whether the patient has hyperlipidemia or not. The doctor will check the cholesterol (Total Cholesterol, TC) along with the levels of other fats such as LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and TG (Triglyceride). it should be within this criterion
- Cholesterol (TC) or TC should be less than 200 mg/dl.
- Bad fat (LDL-Cholesterol) LDL-C should be less than 130 mg/dl, which contains a large amount of cholesterol.
- Good fat (HDL-Cholesterol) HDL – C should be greater than or equal to 40 mg/dl because it is a fat that helps transport cholesterol from different cells. to destroy the liver
- triglycerides (Triglyceride) TG should be less than 150 mg/dl, and if there is more … the more hardening of the arteries.
Who should check blood lipids??
- It should be screened for people over 35 if normal and without other risk factors for coronary artery disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking
- Not over 45 years (men) or 55 years (for women) No family history of coronary artery disease at a young age. (men under 55 and women under 65) and who have not had cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease It should be repeated in the next 5 years.
- If there are risk factors mentioned above and normal blood lipids are detected, repeat the test in 1-3 years.
4 signs and 5 dangerous behaviors for “coronary artery disease” should see a doctor
precautions when the fat in the blood is high
- Control high cholesterol foods such as animal fats, animal brains, animal organs, egg yolks, seafood, oysters, squid, shrimp, duck skins, chicken skins, coconuts, foods containing coconut milk. If you have high triglyceride levels. Be careful of starchy foods, sugar, sweet drinks. very sweet fruit
- eat lean meat fish food skimmed milk
- avoid alcohol because it has the effect of accumulating fat in tissues
- Avoid foods cooked in oil, fried foods, fried foods, should use plant oils that contain linoleic acid such as lead. Cholesterol is metabolized which helps the body absorb less fat.
- A variety of leafy vegetables should be added. and some fruits that provide fiber and fiber, such as kale, guava, orange, basil seeds, for the body to have more fiber To help absorb less fat into the body.
- exercise will help reduce the amount of fat in the blood. And the HDL level should be continuously increased 3 – 4 times a week, 20 – 30 minutes each time Good exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, dancing, cycling.
- Stop smoking because it will lower HDL in the blood because smoking is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
- Consult a doctor and follow up Some periods of exercise may require medication to help adjust high blood lipids. which the doctor will recommend and follow-up on the results of treatment
hyperlipidemia It is a silent threat which is one of the main causes of many diseases Annual health examination to check fat levels. Find out the risk of hyperlipidemia. is another way to help us know that We should adjust our behavior Or is it time to treat with medication to begin with? To prevent and reduce the risk of disease in the future
