Many people often eat a lot of meat and fish, and eat as much as they want, resulting in an increase in triglyceride and cholesterol intake, which leads to an increase in blood lipids. We all understand this kind of elevated blood lipids, but a small number of people with high blood lipids usually eat basically vegetarian food, so what is going on? Today we will talk about why only eat vegetarian food can also occur high blood lipids? 1, only eat vegetarian blood lipid still high reasons (1) nutritional imbalance long-term intake of a large amount of meat, indeed, will increase the chances of high blood lipid disease. But if you completely cut off meat and eat mainly vegetarian food, it is also not conducive to the control of blood lipids, because the high quality protein and vitamins contained in meat are nutrients that the body cannot lack. (2) too many staple foods The obesity rate of vegetarians is no less than that of their meat-eating friends, who do not eat meat and always need other foods to fill in. Stored in the body, long-term triglyceride elevation, will also lead to the emergence of hyperlipidemia. (3) snacking too much Although not eat meat, but if you often like to eat some nuts and sweets, these are vegetarian, but nuts contain relatively high fat, and sweets contain relatively high sugar, which can lead to excessive intake of body fat, resulting in elevated blood lipids. (4) Genetic factors Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder with familial characteristics, even vegetarians can have elevated LDL. And the patients themselves have abnormally high LDL cholesterol values; also easy to develop cardiovascular disease early in life. 2.How to solve (1) First of all, we need to know what indicators are elevated in our blood lipids. First of all, we need to take a blood test for a full set of blood lipids to know the level of our blood lipids, and which indicators are elevated, and how much they are elevated, so that we can have an idea. (2) Adjust your diet and increase exercise. Usually pay attention to a low-salt and low-fat diet, eat less sweets, eat less oily food such as fatty meat, animal offal and egg yolk, and limit the intake of trans fatty acids. Eat more vegetables and high-quality protein, such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, soy products. Increase exercise, more than 30 minutes a day, consistently and gradually, in order to help lower blood lipid levels. Keep your body healthy and in a happy mood. Quit smoking, alcohol and beverages, pay attention to ensure the time and quality of sleep, combine work and rest, keep a relaxed mood and eliminate tension and anxiety to help regulate blood lipid levels. (3) Take medication to control Lower triglycerides have phenoxy acids such as fenofibrate, benzofibrate, etc. Statins are the cornerstone therapeutic drugs for lowering LDL cholesterol and anti-atherosclerosis. When LDL cholesterol is not achieved, combination of lipid-lowering drugs with different mechanisms of action such as ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors are used. Although vegetarian diets do not have high cholesterol content. However, if we eat a vegetarian diet every day for a long time, we will not be able to replenish all the nutrients our body needs. In general, it is not recommended that patients with hyperlipidemia should be completely vegetarian, but they can eat meat properly, but they should control the quantity and quality, and they should have a balanced nutrition and a light and healthy diet.
