[Fan Letters].Zhang Qiang is a typical mother's boy, from childhood to adulthood, everything he does is arranged according to his mother's wishes. With his eloquent words, he succeeded in deceiving a kind and beautiful woman, Li Fang, and promised her that he would give her a good life. However, the reality after marriage is very different from what was promised.
After marriage, Zhang Qiang's monthly salary was not used to build their small home, as he promised his wife, but was all handed over to his mother. At first, Li Fang was very angry and disappointed by this, and she tried to communicate with Zhang Qiang, hoping to change the situation. But Zhang Qiang was deeply influenced by his mother and insisted on handing over his salary to his mother, believing that this was a sign of filial piety. In desperation, Li Fang could only gradually adapt to this life.
Five years passed in a hurry, and Zhang Qiang was diagnosed with high blood lipids due to long-term bad living habits. Faced with a sudden health problem, he realized that it would take a lot of money to carry out**. So, he found his mother, hoping to take out some of the savings that had been given to her in the past and use it for **.
However, when he expressed his needs to his mother, her reaction was unexpected. The mother squeaked and seemed very embarrassed, and finally had to tell Zhang Qiang that she had used all his money to help his brother pay off his debts over the years. It turned out that Zhang Qiang's younger brother owed a huge amount of debt due to bad investments, and in order to help his younger brother solve the problem, his mother used all of Zhang Qiang's savings.
[The doctor answers].Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disease in modern society, which is closely related to heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Dietary habits have a huge impact on the health of patients with hyperlipidemia, and correct dietary adjustment is one of the key steps to control blood lipids. While vegetables are generally considered an important part of a healthy diet, some specific vegetables may not be very friendly to people with hyperlipidemia. This article will look at why certain vegetables, including coriander, should be restricted by people with hyperlipidemia and provide some dietary advice.
Dietary principles for patients with hyperlipidemia
Before delving into specific vegetables, it is crucial to first understand the dietary principles of patients with hyperlipidemia. The diet should be low in fat, high in fiber, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, while limiting saturated and trans fats. This helps to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels while raising good cholesterol (HDL) levels, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Learn about the effects of vegetables on hyperlipidemia
Patients with hyperlipidemia should consider the nutritional content of vegetables and their possible effects on blood lipids when choosing vegetables. For example, specific ingredients in some vegetables may interact with lipid-lowering drugs or affect lipid metabolism processes in the body. Therefore, understanding the specific mechanisms of influence of these vegetables can help patients make more informed dietary choices.
Plant sterols in vegetables.
Plant sterols have a certain positive effect in lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in the blood. However, excessive intake of certain plant sterol-rich vegetables may be detrimental to everyone, especially for some people with hyperlipidemia, which may need to be consumed in moderation under the guidance of a doctor.
High-potassium vegetables. Some vegetables, such as spinach and celery, are higher in potassium. For patients taking certain antihypertensive medications, excessive intake of high-potassium foods may cause abnormal potassium in the blood, so it is important to be careful.
Why coriander may not be suitable for people with hyperlipidemia
Coriander, a herb widely used in cooking, is loved by many people for its unique flavor. However, for people with hyperlipidemia, coriander may need to be consumed in moderation. While direct evidence is limited, certain studies suggest that certain components in cilantro may affect lipid metabolism, especially when consumed in excess. In addition, coriander may also interact with certain lipid-lowering drugs, affecting the effectiveness of the medications.
In addition to coriander, other vegetables should be restricted
Stamens beans. While legumes are often recommended as high-protein, low-fat foods, certain types of legumes, such as stamens beans, may not be suitable for people with hyperlipidemia because of their specific chemical composition.
Lettuce. Lettuce is high in vitamin K, and for hyperlipidemia patients who are taking anticoagulant medications, excessive intake of lettuce may affect the effectiveness of the drug.
Taro. Although taro is rich in fiber, it is also high in carbohydrates. For patients with hyperlipidemia who need to control blood sugar levels, excessive intake of taro may not be the best choice.
Carrot. Carrots are a root vegetable rich in sugar and starch, and should be eaten in moderation for patients with hyperlipidemia who need to strictly control their blood sugar.
Recommendations for the selection of vegetables for patients with hyperlipidemia
While the above-mentioned vegetables may need to be restricted, there are many other vegetables that are friendly to people with hyperlipidemia. For example, dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and kale), broccoli, cauliflower, etc., which are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, have a positive effect on blood lipid control.
For patients with hyperlipidemia, it is very important to adjust the dietary structure reasonably, especially in the choice of vegetables. Although it is necessary to limit the intake of certain vegetables, with the right combination and selection, it is possible to meet the nutritional needs and help control blood lipid levels. It is important that all dietary modifications should be made under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian to ensure that both nutritional needs are met and lipid control is aided.
