Breakfast can be said to be the most important meal of the day. Eating well in the morning will make the person feel fuller throughout the morning and can also help avoid fluctuations in blood sugar and blood pressure. However, some people underestimate the importance of breakfast, thinking that it doesn’t have much impact on the body since they don’t eat much. This kind of thinking is actually wrong! Eating the wrong breakfast can lead to an increase in cholesterol levels in the body, greatly affecting blood sugar and blood pressure fluctuations. In particular, the following three types of breakfast are not suitable for people with cardiovascular diseases.
3 types of breakfast that eaten in excess may act as an “accelerator” for blood clots:
1. Noodles
Take a look at your own breakfast table, do you often see noodles, bread, lunch boxes, steamed buns, and other starchy foods? The older generation often says that starchy foods are good for the stomach, but in reality, these foods are all high in starch content. Once ingested, they will be converted into triglycerides in the body, leading to increased cholesterol and elevated blood lipids, which can affect the health of blood vessels.
2. Fried Dough Sticks
Fried dough sticks are also a traditional breakfast for Chinese people, crispy and delicious, often paired with soy milk, very popular. However, the making of fried dough sticks involves repeated frying at high temperatures. Every 100 grams of fried dough sticks contain over 400 kilocalories. The fats and carbohydrates in fried dough sticks, once in the body, will be converted into fat, raising cholesterol levels and damaging blood vessels, increasing the risk of arteriosclerosis and blood clot formation.
Moreover, to make the texture of fried dough sticks more light and soft, most of them on the market contain a leavening agent, which can pose a risk of inducing senile dementia. Therefore, when choosing breakfast, one should not eat fried dough sticks every day.
3. Cakes
Many people who have a sweet tooth for breakfast often love to eat cakes. Cakes contain trans fatty acids, excessive intake of which can raise cholesterol levels.
For those with existing cardiovascular diseases, it’s best to consume less of the above three common breakfast items. So, how can one determine if a person has high cholesterol levels?
People with high cholesterol levels usually experience these three abnormalities upon waking up:
1. Sudden blurry vision
If there was no pressure on the eye nerves during sleep at night, but upon waking up the vision is blurry, suddenly unable to see clearly ahead, and experiencing dark spots in front of the eyes, this is mainly due to high cholesterol levels.
2. Tiredness and fatigue
People with high cholesterol levels will have slower blood flow and increased blood density in the morning after waking up, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Therefore, even if they have had enough sleep time, they still feel that they have not slept enough. Moreover, due to the slowed blood circulation, the body’s metabolism also slows down. This results in the brain feeling fatigued and not alert.
3. Cold feet and legs
People with high cholesterol levels have thicker blood, so the speed of blood flow in the body slows down at night. This leads to poor blood circulation, with reduced blood reaching the extremities, causing a sense of coldness in the legs and feet.
To lower cholesterol and prevent blood clots, this food item is the most effective:
Wurong Zaliang Mixture is a breakfast commonly consumed by long-lived elderly people. They mix more than 40 kinds of cholesterol-regulating and vascular-benefiting ingredients such as chia seeds from Xinjiang, black sesame, brown rice, oats, bitter buckwheat, sorghum, black rice, etc., grind them into powder, and consume 30g daily as breakfast to protect vascular lipids and health.
Wurong Zaliang Mixture is rich in polysaccharides, flavonoids, and other substances that help eliminate cholesterol adhering to blood vessel walls, maintaining normal cholesterol levels and is called the “cleaner of blood vessels.” This breakfast is nutritious and comprehensive, but preparing it with a variety of ingredients can be complicated, so one can choose to consume Wurong Zaliang Mixture with the same recipe directly. The effect is the same, and the powder processed after cell wall breaking has a finer texture, making it easier for the body to absorb the nutritional components.
In conclusion, it is recommended that everyone develops a good eating habit, as it will greatly help their health.
