With the improvement of living standard, more and more people find out high blood fat, according to statistics, one third of our people have high blood fat. Hyperlipidemia is very harmful to the body and can cause some serious diseases that jeopardize human health, such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, pancreatitis and so on.

Is elevated blood lipids caused by eating meat?

Some people think that meat is high in fat, and if they find out that they have high blood lipids, they don't dare to eat meat and stay away from meat. Some people think that eating vegetarian and not eating meat can control blood lipids, and even lower the high blood lipids, these are misunderstandings.In fact, it is not the case that blood lipids are high if you eat meat and not if you don't.

First of all, eating meat depends on what kind of meat you're eating.

Not all meat can cause elevated blood lipids. If you eat more fat meat, offal such as pork liver, waist flower, beef and mutton, chicken skin and duck skin, etc., cholesterol and fat content is very high, it is very easy to cause elevated blood lipids, it is recommended to eat less. However, if you eat lean meat, fish, chicken and duck meat, etc., the protein content is high, will not cause elevated blood lipids, can be moderate intake.

Excessive intake of non-meat such as staple foods and sweets will be metabolized into fat in the body, which can also cause elevated blood lipids.

Next, pay attention to the way you cook.When cooking meat, try to minimize the use of frying, deep-frying, stir-frying and other cooking methods that use a lot of oil, in order to use boiling, steaming, stewing, boiling and other cooking methods is good.

In addition, elevated lipids are related to liver synthesis in addition to dietSome people like to eat vegetarian food and seldom eat meat, but their blood lipids are still elevated, that's why.

Another reason for elevated blood lipids is genetics, such as familial hypercholesterolemia.

I hope the above answers are helpful!

High blood lipids or cause a high incidence of cardiovascular disease!

Simply understand that high blood lipids will cause the aggravation of vascular waste, which in turn will cause the narrowing of blood vessels, causing myocardial ischemia and cerebral ischemia.

High blood fat is definitely directly related to eating more meat, because meat, especially red meat such as pork, beef and mutton, as well as fatty meat contain a large amount of cholesterol, which will definitely cause elevated blood fat.

Lipids in the human body come from two main sources. One main reason is that if you eat too much, you will naturally synthesize more lipids. Of course, there is another reason is genetic metabolism caused by their own. To put it more professionally, saturated fatty acids can raise blood lipids, which are simply animal foods, such as fatty meats, animal oils, creamy pastries, palm oil, etc.; foods with high cholesterol content, such as: animal offal, fish roe, squid, crab roe, etc.;

Eating meat is not the only cause of elevated blood lipids, trans-unsaturated fatty acids, can also elevate LDL, the bad blood lipid, and lower HDL, the good blood lipid; the main foods are: shortbread, doughnuts, deep-fried fast food, and so on.

So, in short, eat fat meat, red meat, animal oil, cream, animal offal, fried food, too much of these foods will cause elevated blood lipids, of course, it must also be pointed out that the elevation of triglycerides and steamed bread and rice to eat more also have a certain relationship, so people with high triglycerides, not only to control the meat food, and even the staple food should also be controlled.

Not all meat eat more will raise blood fat, such as fish, especially sea fish eat more to a certain extent can also be conducive to lipid metabolism, conducive to lowering blood fat, so encourage everyone to eat more fish properly.

Do not eat meat blood fat will also rise, we can always find a part of the people, usually do not eat meat, but the blood fat will also rise, which mainly refers to cholesterol, because cholesterol and LDL elevated most of the reasons for their own synthesis abnormalities, so, this part of the people do not eat meat blood fat will also rise.

In short, people who eat meat must have more people with high blood lipids than those who do not eat meat, especially those who like fatty meat, red meat and offal, must pay attention to control the amount and monitor the four blood lipids: cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein and triglyceride.

Healthy diet is the foundation of health, healthy diet low salt, low fat and low sugar as a principle, meat to poultry and fish, eat more vegetables and fruits, supplement the appropriate miscellaneous food!

[If you have any cardiovascular, hypertension or hyperlipidemia problems, you can write to me privately and I will get back to you as soon as possible].

Whether or not high blood lipids are caused by eating meat is definitely a question common to many patients with elevated blood lipids. Dr. Zhang alone has been asked this question countless times. In fact, nowadays, when we say blood fat, we mainly refer to two indicators, one is triglyceride, and the other is cholesterol (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein).

To say that elevated blood lipids are caused by eating meat, you can say that this statement is also true and not true. Why do you say so? Said it is right, mainly because the modern society, our people's living standards generally improve, the diet is also meat food more and more to eat, so with the rise of triglycerides and cholesterol. Meat, especially pork, beef, sheep and other meat, can raise triglycerides, but also because rich in saturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids through the liver into cholesterol, so also raise the cholesterol at the same time.

However, it is not entirely correct to attribute elevated blood lipids solely to eating too much meat. This is because there are some patients in the clinic who have elevated blood lipids not because they eat too much meat, but because they have problems with their metabolism. For example, familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic problem in the body, resulting in increased blood cholesterol levels. The genetic abnormalities that lead to elevated triglycerides are even more numerous and will not be discussed here. If you want to read it, you can refer to Dr. Zhang's previous article.

Therefore, if we simply put the elevated blood lipids to blame on the "eat more meat", it is also unfair. Elevated blood lipids this "black pot", can not only let "eat meat" to take the blame.

Often be asked this question, I usually do not eat much meat, how the blood fat is high? In fact, between eating meat and high blood fat, there is really no inevitable relationship, or you can say so, if you eat too much fish and meat every day, eat too much fat, it is possible that high blood fat, but if you find the problem of high blood fat, but not necessarily because of eating too much meat. In fact, this reason is also very good to understand, eat too much meat is one of the causes of elevated blood lipids, but is not the only cause of high blood lipids. I don't know if that makes sense to you or if you're getting sidetracked, so let's talk more specifically about the relationship between eating meat and high blood cholesterol.

Eating too much meat risks causing hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia refers to a state of dyslipidemia in which the lipid composition of the blood exceeds the normal range, with elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and lowered HDL cholesterol. Deviations from these indicators affect the health of the vascular endothelium, accelerate the development of atherosclerosis, and ultimately lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

There are various reasons for the occurrence of hyperlipidemia, and from the aspect of life, high-fat and high-sugar diet is one of the most important causes of hyperlipidemia. Long-term high-fat and high-sugar diet will lead to excess energy in the body, excessive intake of lipids and sugar, which will also lead to increased burden of lipid metabolism in the body, under long-term heavy pressure, fatty liver, obesity and other problems have appeared, and abnormal liver function, the emergence of obesity and other issues are important causes of abnormal lipid metabolism and hyperlipidemia, so for people who have a long-term high-fat and high-sugar diet and also overweight, should pay more attention to regular checking of blood lipid levels, and also should be more aware of the need to check their blood lipid levels. Therefore, for friends who have long-term high-fat and high-sugar dietary habits and are also overweight, they should pay more attention to regular checking of blood lipid levels, and if they find that the blood lipid indexes are abnormal, they should be positively regulated and intervene as early as possible.

There is no necessary link between high blood cholesterol and eating too much meat

This does not contradict our earlier talk about eating too much meat, which leads to a greater risk of high blood cholesterol.

We eat into the meat, most of them are rich in fat, but eat into the lipid and our blood lipids, there is no direct conversion process, if the blood lipids are understood to eat into the meat in the lipid directly absorbed into the blood, it would be a big mistake, lipid metabolism is a very responsible process of transformation, this process needs to go through the intestinal tract, the liver, intestines, and finally into the blood metabolism of the transformation process, and in the process of this transformation Absorption process, no matter which link has a problem, may lead to abnormal lipid metabolism, from the indicators, often is our triglyceride elevated, cholesterol elevated and so on.

The transformation of blood lipids metabolism, is the need to go through a series of organs of the body for metabolic transformation, the operation of the absorption process is completed, and the problem of high blood lipids, in the final analysis, is because our lipid metabolism function abnormalities, due to the dysfunctions of lipid metabolism, which led to the elevation of blood lipids, triggering the risk of cardiovascular disease, and long-term large fish and meat, high-sugar diets, just cause the burden of lipid sugar metabolism, and ultimately lead to problems in lipid metabolism, an external factor. Eventually lead to lipid metabolism function problems of an external factor, and do not eat big fish and meat, due to family genetic factors, age aging and other aspects of the impact, or other disease factors, the same may also lead to lipid metabolism abnormalities, resulting in the emergence of elevated blood lipids, so if you usually meat is very little, and also not much to eat sweets, but still appeared in the problem of high blood lipids, and there is no nothing It's not surprising.

What should I do if I develop high blood cholesterol?

If we have the problem of high blood lipids, there is no need to be overly alarmed, after all, more than 40% of the adults in our country have the problem of dyslipidemia, we are all ordinary people, why can't our blood lipids be high ah?

The first thing that should be done when the problem of elevated blood lipids is found is the assessment of risk, to what extent the blood lipids are high, especially how high the LDL cholesterol is, what is the age, whether there is any familial history of cardiovascular disease, what is the blood pressure and blood sugar situation, whether or not they smoke, whether or not they are obese, all of these factors are important in assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with hyperlipidemia, and combined with our cardiovascular disease risk assessment Combined with our cardiovascular disease risk assessment, the development of reasonable lipid control goals is one of the things that friends with hyperlipidemia are prone to overlook, but it also happens to be one of the first things that should be done.

After doing a good cardiovascular disease risk assessment and setting a good lipid control goal, we should combine our actual lipid profile to strengthen the lipid control. Lipid regulation and control, not just take lipid-lowering drugs so simple, life on the conditioning intervention is also very important, if you eat meat eat more, may wish to try to eat less, while paying attention to moderate diet, quit smoking and alcohol, etc., and if you ate meat on the original is not much, diet may wish to pay attention to the low-sugar, dietary fiber, and also pay attention to strengthen the movement exercise, to improve the body's ability to metabolize the lipids only Through diet, exercise and other life-conditioning interventions, can not effectively control the blood lipids up to standard friends, only need to consider taking drugs to strengthen the regulation of blood lipids, pay attention to drug safety, reasonable use of medication to control blood lipids, but also an important way to reduce cardiovascular disease.

When it comes to high blood lipids many people will say in the same breath that they eat too much meat, and even many of our non-specialist doctors and nurses will say that they eat too much fish and meat. Lipids are lipid compounds within human plasma, including: triglycerides, cholesterol, (containing cholesterol lipids and free cholesterol), phospholipids and free fatty acids. Among them, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol are the four important indicators to test the blood lipid level. Hyperlipidemia is commonly referred to as elevated plasma total cholesterol (TC), elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); and elevated triglycerides.

Then high cholesterol is really a big fish and meat eat more lead, cholesterol is easy to be deposited in the blood vessel wall, over time the formation of plaque, leading to atherosclerosis; and for example: some of the chronic diseases of hypertension, diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients are not only sugar metabolism disorders, will also be accompanied by protein, lipid metabolism disorders, resulting in macrovascular and microvascular lesions. In addition, genetic factors can not be ignored, some people due to genetic defects, high blood fat is a family; on the contrary, there are some genetic advantages of the population, although often eat high-fat foods, obesity, blood lipids are still very normal. With the increase of our age, the function of vascular epithelial cells will also be reduced, although do not eat meat will also occur in dyslipidemia.

For people with dyslipidemia, a balanced diet is of utmost importance. According to the Dietary Pagoda, allocate three meals a day reasonably, combine meat and vegetables, avoid fried food, and a research table shows that legumes can effectively block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. Maintain a good lifestyle, strengthen effective physical training, so that the BMI remains in the normal range and the body shape is moderate. We know that the raw materials needed for the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides are the products of sugar metabolism, and not consuming too much sugar does not provide more raw materials for the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides. In short, keeping our mouths shut and moving back can help us control blood lipids effectively.

Thanks for the invite!

Let's start by saying that lipid testing consists of four main items: total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL. Because HDL is generally considered to be a beneficial protein that reduces cardiovascular risk, hyperlipidemia is usually referred to as an elevation of the remaining three items. Of the three, total cholesterol and LDL are the most cardiovascularly harmful.

And hyperlipidemia is related to eating, but not entirely out of eating! Because some people are genetically influenced, even with a long-term vegan diet, their blood lipids are elevated, and some patients are even familial hypercholesterolemics. However, the dietary situation is going to affect the blood lipid level! Meat (mainly refers to beef, lamb, pork and other red meat), eggs (egg yolks mainly), animal offal, contains more cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, long-term use of large quantities can lead to elevated blood lipids.

The above picture is a good illustration of the way to deal with hyperlipidemia: eat a moderate amount of fats and meats, fewer times can be squeezed oil peanuts, melon seeds and other nuts, eat less animal offal; low-salt diet; quit smoking and limit alcohol; strengthen aerobic exercise!

I hope my answer helps, and you can follow my headlines if you have heart problems.

Thanks for the invite.

There is no direct relationship between high blood lipids and eating meat. Many combined causes accumulate to produce the symptoms of high blood lipids, for example, they are inevitably indistinguishable from hereditary factors, and are also related to long-term poor dietary and resting habits, whereas eating meat, however, may not necessarily be the cause of high blood lipids. Hyperlipidemia may have problems with both lipids and lipid-like substances in the blood, such as high triglycerides, or high cholesterol, or both. There is indeed a close relationship between high triglycerides and a long-term diet high in oils and fats, but high-fat foods do not necessarily mean only meat, including fried foods, snacks, barbecues, but also high-sugar foods, such as sweets, cold beverages, sweetened beverages, etc. Glucose and fats can be converted into each other, and overflowed sugar will also form triglycerides in the liver. Moreover, lean meat is not high-fat food, they are suitable calories, but also can provide rich quality protein, animal poultry, fish and shrimp meat is also low-fat food, just intake of excessive meat may be due to the excess of saturated fat to increase the incidence of hyperlipidemia, but alone that eating meat will cause high blood fat is necessarily unscientific.

In addition, hyperlipidemia may also be due to hypercholesterolemia, and cholesterol is divided into endogenous and exogenous two kinds of cholesterol, endogenous cholesterol mainly comes from our liver synthesizes and secretes itself, this part accounts for 70~80% of the total cholesterol, and is the main source of the total cholesterol, but this part of ourselves is difficult to control through the diet, and it is related to the health of the liver, the stability of its own endocrine and many other factors. Exogenous cholesterol is the part we take from food, but its absorption will decrease with the increase of intake, and it also has little effect on the total cholesterol, accounting for only 20-30%, although we can control the absorption of this part of the cholesterol through the diet, but even if we completely give up the high cholesterol food is not a good regulation of the blood lipids, so this part of the meat is even more relevant to eat.

To prevent hyperlipidemia, choose not to eat meat? That is certainly not useful and unscientific practice, should maintain a light diet, avoid excessive intake of high-fat, high-fat, high-sugar foods, cooking methods convenient to avoid deep-frying, barbecue, stir-fry and other methods of fire and oil, and more choice of boiled, steamed, stewed, simmered, stir-fried, stir-fry and other ways. More meals at home, to avoid frequent restaurants, eat meat and drink, and less takeout, to avoid heavy food. Daily intake of some rich in dietary fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, coarse grains and legumes, dietary fiber can slow down the speed of digestion of food, delay the absorption of cholesterol, fat, sugar, and to reduce the absorption of some of these ingredients to help smooth the blood fat and blood glucose, fresh vegetables are rich in folic acid, phytochromes and other favorable components, can prevent atherosclerosis, delay the aging of blood vessels, the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is also beneficial. It is also beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Increase the intake of foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as nuts, deep-sea fish, unsaturated fatty acids can increase the number of high-density lipoprotein, enhance cholesterol metabolism, clean blood vessels, regulate serum cholesterol. Daily exercise is also appropriate, 3-5 days a week to choose sports, avoid often sedentary lying.

Is high blood fat caused by eating meat? This is the first reaction of most people who find out that they have high blood lipids, but there are also people who ask: I never eat meat, but why are my blood lipids high? There are many similar questions, such as obese people are prone to high blood fat, but there are also many thin people found high blood fat, what is going on?

First of all, let's understand what is blood lipid? Lipids is the general term for lipids in the blood, and those that have a greater impact on human health mainly include total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein. The increase of the first three items is an important factor in the development of obesity and atherosclerosis, while the decrease of HDL will affect the body's lipid metabolism, which is not conducive to the control of blood lipids.

Secondly, when we look at the sources of the first three lipids, there are two main ways, one is from food intake, but only 20% of the total amount of food intake, and the second is the body's own synthesis, accounting for 80% of the total amount. This shows that what you eat is not the main cause of elevated blood lipids, the key to the problem lies in the abnormal function of your own synthesized blood lipids.

Third, look at the major influences on lipid synthesis.

• Excessive sugar intakeIn the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides, one of the raw materials needed is the metabolites from the breakdown of blood glucose. If more sugary foods are eaten, such as more rice, pasta, fruits, desserts, and sugar-sweetened beverages, more possibilities are provided for the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides.
  

• bad habitFor example, smoking and alcohol abuse, nicotine in the cigarette, ethanol and so on into the body after the liver cells will cause damage, resulting in abnormal cholesterol synthesis, while reducing the rational use of cholesterol throughout the body's tissues and organs, thus elevating the level of cholesterol in the blood; and then for example, stay up late, the human body synthesizes cholesterol in the night time after going to sleep, and stay up late in the time the body should be asleep but is in the state of excitement, prompting an increase in cholesterol synthesis.
  

• Lack of exerciseOne of the main functions of blood lipids is to provide energy for the body to maintain physiological functions and daily life. Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise and exercise greatly reduces the utilization of triglycerides and other triglycerides, which not only leads to the elevation of blood lipids, but also deposits in multiple organs and tissues, which further causes dysfunctions and further aggravates the abnormalities of blood lipids.
  

Therefore, when the blood fat is elevated, change dietary habits, such as reducing the fat content of meat food intake should be, but less sugary food is also to pay attention to, and strengthen the exercise to change the bad habits is to maintain the body fat metabolism is necessary, if necessary, should also be taken in a timely manner lipid-lowering drugs as soon as possible to the liver synthesizes steroids to regulate the function of the liver, more conducive to the control of blood lipids in the normal level.

I hope this answer can help you, welcome to click on the attention and leave a message, together to learn and exchange more health knowledge.

In recent years, with the improvement of living standards, there are more and more patients with high blood lipids. In the process of following the tutor outpatient clinic, we often meet patients with high blood lipids, and one of the most common questions asked by these patients is that high blood lipids are caused by eating meat? Can I still eat meat in the future? The tutor's answer is often that it has little to do with eating meat, and that they can eat meat in the future, and that they should eat meat in a healthy way.

In fact, there are many reasons for elevated blood lipids. The first is smoking, which constantly damages the epithelial tissue of the patient's blood vessels, making the spaces between the cells become larger and larger, and lipids are easily deposited in the blood vessels. The occurrence of diabetes, hypertension and other underlying diseases will also erode the patient's vascular system over time, allowing lipids to enter the blood vessels. There is also the age, the age of different patients, the function of the blood vessels play different, the older, the function of the epithelial cells of the blood vessels will be more degraded, so it can be said that the occurrence of this disease and eat meat is not absolutely related.

So what should a person with high blood fat eat? The function of various organs of the human body, need a variety of nutrients, protein is also an indispensable one, meat food inside a large amount of protein, therefore, every day should have meat intake, but need to pay attention to is that, when eating should choose low-fat and high-protein meat, eat less fat, in addition to the process of cooking, you should choose to use some less oil, avoid frying, deep-frying, etc., you can eat more legumes. You can eat more legumes, some studies show that legumes can effectively prevent the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. The last is to strengthen the exercise, maintain a good lifestyle, do not overweight, keep the body type moderate.

Answer: Li Ning, M.S., M.D.

Welcome to Apricot Island for more useful health knowledge.

High blood fat, and diet, and eat meat, especially eat fat meat, has a certain connection, but to completely high blood fat causes, all rooted in eating meat, then the pot, "meat" said not back.

I. Causes of increased blood lipids

The three highs we often refer to are high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids. One characteristic of the three highs is that they have complex causes and are often related to many factors, of which diet is only one.

The causes of increased blood lipids are often associated with these factors:

1. Heredity

If you have a family history of high blood lipids, you are more likely to have abnormal blood lipids later. There is no direct connection with whether or not you eat meat.

2. Age

With increasing age, the metabolic capacity of liver function decreases and the catabolic capacity of LDL decreases. Decreased synthesis of bile acids in the body leads to an increase in hepatic cholesterol, which further inhibits LDL receptor activity, thus increasing the likelihood of dyslipidemia.

3. Bad living habits

The main ones include smoking, staying up late, and eating more and moving less ...... Eating more here doesn't just mean meat; excessive intake of sugar, or carbohydrates, can also cause an increase in blood lipids.

This is mainly because, when we consume too much sugar, it is converted into fat and stored in our body. And fat is the raw material for cholesterol and triglycerides.

Therefore, we need to pay attention to the fact that if we want to avoid higher blood lipids, we must eat less of the foods that are high in sugar, such as: ice cream, sugary drinks, cakes ...... these foods.

II. Relationship between blood lipids and meat consumption

the production of lipids in our bodies.Dietary factors account for 20% and self-synthesis for 80% of the timeIn other words. In other words, the presence of high blood lipids is mostlyThis is due to abnormal lipid metabolism in the body.The factor that diet contributes to high blood lipids, is not the primary cause.

This is why, when high blood cholesterol is present, we often also need to work with medication, not just just diet control.

Meat, especially fatty meat, which is high in cholesterol, will definitely aggravate lipid metabolism and thus the possibility of high blood lipids if consumed for a long period of time.

However, it's important to realize that not all meats are high in cholesterol.Generally red meats, animal offal, they are really high in cholesterol.But.Fish in general, and marine fish in particular, are not high in cholesterol.. It is suitable for both normal people and people with high blood lipids.

This is what we always say: it is better to eat four-legged than two-legged; and it is better to eat two-legged than no-legged. Legless, in this case, refers to fish.

III. Methods of preventing and controlling high blood lipids

Above we have improved that the occurrence of high blood lipids is mainly related to heredity, age, and bad life habits. Heredity, age, we can not change, what we can do is to correct bad habits.

1. Cessation of smoking

Smokers should know that cigarettes really don't do any good to the human body. Apart from causing lung diseases, it also induces chronic diseases such as the three highs. Therefore, the sooner you quit, the better.

2. Weight loss

The core of weight loss is to eat less and move more. Diet, as we've mentioned above, is not all meat you can't eat, just pay attention to a low-fat diet.

Exercise, that is, aerobic exercise of moderate intensity or higher, preferably for more than 30 minutes a day.

3、Less stay up late

Higher blood lipids, mostly due to abnormal lipid metabolism in the body. Long-term staying up late will aggravate this metabolic abnormality, which is unfavorable to the human body.

In general, eating meat and high blood lipids, there is a certain link, but it does not mean that the elevation of blood lipids, is caused by eating meat.
