“high blood fat” (Hypercholesterolemia) It is a condition in which the body has an imbalance in the level of fat in the bloodstream. It could 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” It is the part of fat that dissolves in the blood stream, different from “fat that accumulates under the skin”
Hyperlipidemia is risky for many diseases. can lead to sudden death
“Yam” high fiber 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 is another reason why skinny people have high blood cholesterol.
- have certain diseases, such as underactive thyroid, liver disease, or diabetes
- obese or overweight
- Eat foods that are high in fat, such as fried or lean meats, skin, milk and products, bacon, ham, lard, palm oil, or foods that are high in trans fats, such as butter, margarine, some pastries and bakery products. French fries, etc.
- drink large amounts of alcohol on a regular basis or heavy smoking
- don’t like to exercise
Why? High blood fat…that increases the risk of “heart disease”
Both these higher-than-normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels get deposited on the artery walls. causing inflammation and arteriosclerosis and when accumulating more and more The arteries in the body will be constricted or blocked. is the cause of coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease that results in myocardial ischemia or a heart attack which is an acute condition… life-threatening
blood fat detection ?
In testing 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). 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 high amounts 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 various cells. to destroy the liver
- triglycerides (Triglyceride) TG should be less than 150 mg/dl, which if there is more … the more hardening of the arteries.
Who should check blood lipids??
- Should be examined at the age over 35 years old if normal and without other risk factors for coronary artery disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking
- Not over 45 years old (men) or 55 years old (for women). No family history of coronary artery disease at a young age. (men under 55 years old and women under 65 years old) and 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 risky 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 that contain coconut milk. If you have high triglyceride levels. Be careful of starchy foods, sugar, sweet drinks. very sweet fruit
- eat fish food lean meat skim 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 as a lead. Cholesterol is metabolized which helps to absorb less fat into the body.
- Should add a variety of leafy vegetables. and some fruits that provide fiber and fiber, such as kale, guava, orange, basil seeds, for the body to get more fiber To help absorb less fat into the body.
- exercise It will help reduce the amount of fat in the blood. And increase the level of HDL should be done continuously 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 practice may require medication to help adjust the level of high blood lipids. which the doctor will recommend and follow up on treatment results
hyperlipidemia It is a silent threat that is a major cause of many diseases. Annual health checkup 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 initially treat with medication? To prevent and reduce the risk of future disease
