Most people have had a lipid test, and everyone is familiar with cholesterol and knows that elevated blood lipids are not good for blood vessels. When cholesterol and triglycerides are maintained at normal levels, it helps maintain vascular health and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, when we find that blood lipids are elevated, we usually try to lower them, but this does not mean that we must use drugs when we find that blood lipids are elevated.
In fact, elevated blood lipids are often closely related to our diet and lifestyle habits. Therefore, when it is found that blood lipids are slightly elevated, we should first consider how to improve and control dietary habits, adjust dietary structure, and eat scientifically and reasonably, which is very helpful for controlling blood lipids.
What is LDL?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a type of lipoprotein that carries cholesterol to various parts of the body for use by cells. However, when there is too much LDL, it forms deposits on the walls of blood vessels, resulting in:Arteriosclerosis and stenosis increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore,LDL is also known as "bad cholesterol" and needs to be controlled within a certain range
People who are found to be high in LDL should try to eat less of these 3 types of foods
Therefore, for people who find that LDL cholesterol is elevated, they need to reduce their intake of the following 3 food groups in their diet:
1.High cholesterol foods
The cholesterol levels in some common foods are as follows (based on 100 grams of food):
Pig brain: cholesterol content 3100 mg.
Duck egg yolk: cholesterol content 1576 mg.
Eggs: cholesterol content 680 mg.
Preserved eggs: 649 mg cholesterol.
Pork loin: cholesterol content 405 mg.
Pork liver: cholesterol content 368 mg.
Squid: cholesterol content 265 mg.
Pork heart: cholesterol content 158 mg.
Pork belly: cholesterol content 159 mg.
In contrast, egg whites, vegetables, cereals, and fruits have 0 cholesterol levels. Therefore, people with high blood lipids should limit their intake of these foods with high cholesterol content.
2.Pickled foods
Pickled foods such as variousKimchi, sauerkraut, bacon and sausagesProcessed foods are usually high in salt, and long-term consumption increases the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

LikeAnimal fats, fried foods, candies, desserts, ice cream, biscuits, instant coffee, chocolateand other foods, they are all high in fat. Especially for those with underlying medical conditions, they should try to eat as little as possible, or even not eat at all.
These foods are rich in saturated fatty acids, and if consumed in excess, they can be deposited in the walls of the arteries, causing atherosclerosis.
For people with high blood lipids, it can be helpful to consume some foods that are good for health. For example, make sure you eat protein. Protein can be divided into two types: plant and animal, but excessive intake of animal protein can have adverse effects on the body.
Therefore, animal protein intake should be reduced while being consumed with plant protein. For example, people with high blood lipids can choose high-quality proteins such as lean meats, fish, and legumes.
