Among the middle-aged and elderly population, the incidence of high blood lipids is generally high. This disease not only affects the normal circulation of blood but also hinders the body’s cells from obtaining more nutrients, leading to a trend of vascular sclerosis. If blood lipids are not controlled for a long time, it may also trigger a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In fact, the onset of many diseases is related to daily diet. Therefore, if you want to stay away from high blood lipids and ensure bodily health in daily life, you must pay attention to a healthy diet. So, can patients with high blood lipids eat sticky rice?
From a nutritional perspective, sticky rice is a relatively mild food that nourishes blood and qi, and maintains the spleen and stomach. For female friends, moderate consumption can prevent deficiency of qi and blood, which is beneficial for maintaining health.
However, it is important to know that sticky rice contains a large amount of carbohydrates. Excessive intake may lead to elevated sugar levels in the body. When a large amount of sugar accumulates in the body, it gradually converts into triglycerides. If this substance accumulates in the blood vessels for a long time, it can easily cause a continuous increase in blood lipid levels. Therefore, for patients with high blood lipids, it is advisable to consume sticky rice as little as possible.
In addition to sticky rice, there are three common foods in daily life that are not conducive to vascular health, which should be avoided early.
1. Pig’s Trotters
For friends with high blood lipid levels, it is recommended not to consume pig’s trotters in large quantities because it contains a large amount of protein, which not only can easily lead to weight gain but also increase blood lipid levels. For people with weak spleen and stomach prone to indigestion, it is even more important to avoid pig’s trotters as it can burden gastrointestinal peristalsis and affect gastrointestinal health.
2. Duck Eggs
In daily life, duck eggs are a kind of food suitable for all ages. They are not only delicious but also convenient to eat. However, for patients with high blood lipids, it is not suitable to consume duck eggs because they contain a large amount of cholesterol. Excessive intake can accelerate vascular system aging and hardening, which is detrimental to maintaining vascular health.
3. Pig Kidneys hail
In daily life, many people regard pig kidneys as a “magic substance” for nourishing the body. However, for those with high blood lipid levels, it is best not to consume pig kidneys in large quantities because it also contains a large amount of cholesterol. Excessive consumption may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis.
If the situation is severe, it may also trigger serious diseases endangering health, such as coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.
In addition to the above three foods, patients with high blood lipids should also avoid alcohol. This is because when alcohol enters the body, it often needs to be metabolized and broken down by the liver. Excessive drinking not only increases the metabolic burden on the liver but also produces a large amount of triglycerides in the body. Once these substances accumulate in the blood vessels, it causes a sudden rise in blood lipid levels, which is detrimental to maintaining stable blood lipids.
