Milk

Fatty substances in the blood, collectively known as blood lipids, are essential nutrients for the body. They are involved in the metabolism of the body, with triglycerides being the main source of energy.

Cholesterol is mainly used in the synthesis of cell membranes, steroid hormones, and bile acids, while phospholipids are also the main components of cell membranes. As one of the oldest natural beverages, milk plays a very important role in human health.

Milk

This is why milk has the title of "white blood" and "liquid gold" in food. So can people with high blood lipids drink milk? It's a good idea to learn more about it.

01

About milk

The benefits of drinking milk

1. Promote the absorption of calcium

Drinking milk at night can effectively promote the absorption of calcium, thus improving absorption efficiency. So it is best to drink milk at night to get calcium, especially for those who have bone problems.

2. Sleeping aid

Milk contains an amino acid called L-tryptophan, which can play a sedative role. For those who have insomnia at night or have difficulty falling into a deep sleep, drinking a glass of milk at night can have the effect of making it easier to fall asleep.

3. Prevent cancer

Some studies show that people who drink milk regularly have a better health condition. And aging will be slower life longer, milk contains a kind of biologically active substance called SOD.

This active substance can remove the "free radicals" in the body and enhance the immunity of the human body. It can promote the body's metabolism so that people can extend their lives and ease aging.

4. Make the skin more youthful

In addition to ensuring normal skin care, insisting on drinking milk is also a must. Milk contains a lot of protein and vitamins, which can not only improve the condition of our skin but also reduce the amount of melanin in the skin.

Moreover, milk has a high audience, both young and old, and can make themselves younger by drinking milk.

The main difference between the two is the fat content, but the difference in fat content has led to changes in other parts of the composition, such as cholesterol.

In addition, the fat solubility of milk is hidden in the fat, so the fat solubility of skim milk is lower, all rich in vitamins A \ B \ D \ and E along with fat these nutrients are taken off.

Calories are also greatly reduced, while whole milk has no effect, so skim milk is also suitable for people who want to lose weight.

And, the fat content in whole milk is denser, so it tastes sweet. Skim milk, on the other hand, has a lighter taste due to its low-fat content.

What abnormalities may occur in the body when blood lipids are elevated?

1. Leg cramps

The increase in blood lipids will increase the burden on blood vessels, and the blood supply to the legs and feet will be reduced accordingly. Because the legs and feet are far away from the heart, blood circulation is slow.

At this time, the blood lipids in the legs and feet will increase and the cholesterol level will also increase, which can easily stimulate the leg muscles and lead to cramps.

2. Dizziness and sleepiness

High blood lipids will affect the concentration of oxygen in the blood, and when the brain is deprived of blood and oxygen, the body will feel abnormally sleepy and drowsy, and may even experience dizziness and headache. In addition, symptoms such as dizziness in the morning should also be paid extra attention to.

3. Skin lumps

Many people with hyperlipidemia feel that they have lumps on their skin that cannot be eliminated. This is due to excessive fat in the blood vessels, which hinders the flow of blood.

4. Skin problems occur

Abnormal blood lipids will affect the normal metabolism of the body and will accumulate a lot of toxins in the skin, which in turn will cause a variety of skin problems, such as acne, dark circles under the eyes, and dull skin.

03

Can't I drink milk with high blood lipids?

Patients with high blood lipids can drink milk, but in the choice of milk, try to choose low-fat milk or skimmed milk. Because milk drinks contain a lot of sugar and even various fruits, which will be further converted into fat in the body.

It is not conducive to lipid control in patients with hyperlipidemia, and because the compounds in milk inhibit cholesterol synthesis. And milk contains lactic acid bacteria, a substance that affects the state of lipid metabolism and exacerbates the symptoms of high blood lipids.

However, low-fat and skim milk contains a low molecular compound that inhibits the activity of cholesterol in the body. This inhibits cholesterol synthesis and the calcium in milk, which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol in the body.

Milk contains 120 mg of calcium per 100 g. Therefore, people with high blood cholesterol can consume milk in moderation to promote calcium absorption and lower cholesterol levels. However, it is also necessary to decide whether you can drink milk and how much milk you can drink according to your physical condition.

Doctor: triglycerides exceed the standard, these 4 things to eat as little as possible

1. Cream cake

Many people like to eat desserts, cream cake is also the favorite of most people. Excessive intake of sweets in the body can lead to excessive sugar intake and cause problems with elevated blood sugar.

Sugar in the body if not timely decomposition and digestion, excess sugar will be converted into fat accumulation in the body, resulting in elevated blood lipids.

Not only will it induce obesity, but it will also lead to increased triglyceride levels, making the blood thicker and affecting normal blood circulation. Therefore, triglycerides exceed the standard of people who try to eat less or do not eat cream cake.

2. salted duck eggs

Salted duck eggs are very good seasoning food, some people with heavy tastes, the most like to eat salted duck eggs. Salty, oily, and very down to earth.

However, salted duck eggs are rich in cholesterol, cholesterol content is too high, will make triglycerides high, and will threaten people's life health security. Therefore, people with high triglycerides try to eat less salted duck eggs.

3. High-fat food

High triglycerides mean that there is a problem with blood health when the triglyceride level in the body is abnormally high. If no reasonable way to reduce serum triglyceride levels, prone to blood stickiness, blood vessel blockage, and other conditions.

If you find this performance, you need to stay away from high-fat foods to avoid obesity caused by excessive fat intake. When obesity is excessive, triglyceride levels will also rise and the chances of hardening and lesions in blood vessels will also rise. Therefore, usually need to eat less high-fat food.

4. fried food

After deep-fried food has a greasy aroma, and most of the delicious things after deep-fried, such as fried chicken wings, French fries, a variety of fried skewers, plus spicy seasoning are very attractive to the taste buds.

However, already triglyceride levels are elevated, and foods treated with vegetable oils carry more fatty acids. Long-term access to large quantities is more likely to raise serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and eating too much will not only cause disease but also make it easy for blood lipid indicators to become abnormal.
