To lower blood lipids, rely on the nozzle or take medicine? Can I still eat meat and eggs?

It is very difficult, in fact, it is also very difficult for people who seem to live beautifully. The general fear of heights has replaced the so-called people walking to high places. Because many people who climbed to the peak early in the morning have sighed from the bottom of their hearts, and the heights are too cold. In life, in addition to housing prices and drug costs, there are blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and uric acid, which are collectively referred to as Suo Ming Gao. High blood lipids, what should I do? By the mouthpiece or by taking medicine? Can I still eat meat and eggs? Can eating more meat and less meat reduce blood lipids? Let's analyze it now.

The link between blood lipids and diet has to start with rabbits. Back in 1913, there was a pathological disease called Anichko on the side of the fighting nation that found that feeding rabbits with cholesterol would cause atherosclerosis. Thus, for the first time in humans, cholesterol intake is linked to cardiovascular disease. In 1937, two American biochemists proposed that if you don't eat egg yolks, you can prevent cholesterol from rising and you can stay away from heart disease. These high arguments prompted the 1977 Dietary Guidelines for Americans to recommend limiting cholesterol intake to 300 mg per day. This amount was later likened to no more than 1 egg. All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones. How can an egg that does not speak can withstand the continuous attack of the legend?

Eat some cholesterol and your heart will die? People who maintain scientific thinking do not believe it. A Swedish doctor, Lovanskov challenged himself to eat 8 eggs a day, and after 1 week, his total cholesterol dropped by 12%. Later, scholars clarified their thinking. Rabbits are herbivores, and if they are not held down for experiments, they will not eat cholesterol at all. Therefore, there is no mechanism for regulating cholesterol in the rabbit's body. However, we humans are omnivores, and the situation is completely different. It's impossible for the cow people in us to eat grass and express milk.

The mouthpiece, this one should not be eaten and that one should not be touched. Whether it can control blood lipid levels has been debated for many years. In 2015, the 8th edition of the Dietary Guidelines for American Residents hit a nail on the board and was cancelled directly, and no longer continued to set limits on dietary cholesterol intake. The reason is that there is insufficient evidence to date that dietary cholesterol intake is inherently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, and no clinical studies have demonstrated that strict control of dietary cholesterol intake can reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. Many people are surprised, what's the matter, are these guys who raise chickens and sell eggs controlling scientists? Not also.

The classic medical theory holds that cholesterol is the main component of atherosclerotic lesions, therefore, as long as the cholesterol level in the blood circulation is controlled to a low enough level, the risk of cardiovascular disease can be significantly reduced. vice versa. However, there are two sources of cholesterol in the blood circulation of our body, biosynthesis in the body and dietary intake. Among them, the biosynthesis in the body accounts for about 70% to 80%, and the dietary intake accounts for about 20% to 30%. In addition, the absorption rate of cholesterol from food sources is only 30%. Therefore, the mouthpiece, even if ingesting cholesterol without food, can play a limited role in lowering cholesterol levels. The main factor that determines the level of cholesterol in the blood is the biosynthesis of the liver.

Are those who especially love meat and eggs giggling? Don't cover your mouth and laugh. The effect of diet on low-density lipoprotein is weak, which does not mean that you can let go of eating. The rationale of scientific research only shows that the effect of simple dietary control on regulating blood lipids is not ideal. Diet has a similar effect on blood lipid elevation. On the other hand, lipid-lowering drugs can significantly inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, and also lead to an increase in the ability of the intestine to absorb cholesterol. If dietary cholesterol is not controlled, the efficacy of the drug will be reduced. Therefore, the main point of a healthy diet is to control the intake of foods with high cholesterol content, especially those varieties with more than 1000 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams of food, such as animal offal, egg yolk, quail eggs, fish roe, squid, cuttlefish, etc.

Some friends may think that all medicines are poisonous, but they do not want to take medicines. Can you eat more and less meat to reduce blood lipids? This idea can be a little dangerous. The latest issue of the "British Medical Journal" series of "Evidence-Based Medicine" published a paper that people with high cholesterol need to reduce carbohydrate intake, not saturated fat. Because the suggestion that a low-saturated-fat diet reduces serum cholesterol levels is not supported by scientific evidence, and a low-carbohydrate diet can improve cardiovascular disease, it is more effective for those patients with obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Therefore, it is recommended to eat less bread, potatoes, sweets and other foods that increase blood sugar. At the same time, the suggestion that has achieved more consensus is to pay attention to a reasonable combination of diet. For example, when eating greasy food, eat more food rich in dietary fiber at the same time, so as to take the bile acids in the intestinal tract out of the body and play a role in lowering cholesterol. In addition, encourage the intake of foods rich in antioxidants such as carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols, etc., to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. As smart as you are, you have a clear mind, right?

Whoever you love, pass on your health to whoever you love.
