Triglycerides are a component of blood lipids produced in the liver. Elevated triglycerides are quite common in our population because of various factors such as dietary habits. Recent studies have shown that triglycerides increase the risk of heart disease when they are critically elevated (150-199 mg/gL) and significantly elevated (200-499 mg/dL); exceeding 150 mg/dL is also a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. There are many reasons for elevated triglycerides, such as overweight/obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a high-carbohydrate diet (carbohydrates make up more than 60% of the total calories in a day’s diet). Therefore, the basic measure to prevent and control elevated triglycerides is to keep your mouth shut and your legs open, and when triglycerides exceed 500 mg/dL, you also need to prevent pancreatitis with pharmacological interventions based on lifestyle modification. Today we will focus on how to “keep your mouth shut”. A healthy diet is not the same as giving up delicious, to eat healthy and delicious, the first step is to replace the pots and pans that have accumulated thick grease over the years with non-stick pans, which can minimize the use of oil and help reduce the intake of fat. Secondly, in cooking methods, choose low-oil methods, such as baking, steaming, boiling, microwaving, or quick frying with a small amount of oil, or using cooking oil sprays to reduce fat intake. For those who are used to cooking with broth, you can freeze the broth and remove the solidified oil before use. Reduce the amount of salt and substitute spices for flavoring. In terms of food, replace whole milk and cream with low-fat milk (containing 1% fat), fat-free milk or concentrated milk; do not eat chicken and duck skin, and replace chicken and duck necks with skinless grilled breast or thigh meat, which can reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids by more than one-third. When choosing processed foods, do not eat any food with “partially hydrogenated oil”, “hydrogenated vegetable oil” or “shortening” on the ingredient label. Any baked or fried food that is not labeled as such can be considered to contain partially hydrogenated oils, such as many margarines, cookies, cakes and pies, because they contain large amounts of trans fatty acids that are harmful to the human body and must be reduced. In short, control your mouth, stop smoking and limit alcohol, reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, simple sugars and sugary drinks; open your legs, strengthen exercise and control your weight is the cornerstone of having a healthy body.
