要降低膽固醇,平時飲食必須慎選低膽固醇食材,減少高熱量食物。 | |
【劉惠敏】不少人知道,膽固醇過高可能導致心腦血管病變,不過您真的認識膽固醇嗎?膽固醇其實是人體必需物質,過高或過低都對健康有影響,要知道如何維持健康,就得要更進一步瞭解膽固醇。
膽固醇是體內的一種脂質,台北書田診所家醫科主治醫師康宏銘說明,70%的膽固醇由肝臟自行合成,另外30%來自於飲食中攝取,主要是動物性食物。
好膽固醇與壞膽固醇
膽固醇是人體細胞膜主要成分,是製造腎上腺素荷爾蒙、性荷爾蒙要素,可轉變為膽酸、有助人體消化脂肪,增長紅血球壽命、保護、維持血管強化等功能,因此膽固醇過低,則會影響身體機能。
若再細分,血液中的膽固醇、中性脂肪等,和蛋白質結合成成的物質,就稱為脂蛋白,以比重不同可分為低比重脂蛋白膽固醇(LDL),以及高比重脂蛋白膽固醇(HDL)。而LDL是造成血管硬化的危險因子,因此被視為「壞膽固醇」,HDL則可以去除附著在動脈內壁的LDL,防止動脈硬化,故稱為好膽固醇。
三酸甘油脂一併檢查
在正常情況下,人體合成、經食物攝取的膽固醇可以保持一定比例。不過現代人的大問題就是營養過剩、運動量不足、情緒緊張,影響身體調節,往往造成膽固醇過高,長期累積下來,就讓壞膽固醇「坐大」,引起血管硬化、危害健康。
康宏銘說明,血管硬化容易引發高血壓、心臟病(心肌梗塞)、腦血管阻塞、出血以及腎臟衰竭等其他器官病變,但膽固醇總量並非唯一的條件,因此在健檢時,必須要求另外檢查三酸甘油脂、以及HDL、LDL,還需注意是否有糖尿病、腎臟病等相關症狀,以及家族病史。

Cholesterol control to control the mouth and stomach
To lower cholesterol, usually low-cholesterol diet must be selective ingredients to reduce the high-calorie food.
LIU Hui-min】 【many people know that high cholesterol can lead to cardiovascular disease, cholesterol, but you really know it? In fact, cholesterol is essential to human material, are too high or too low on health, it is necessary to know how to maintain health, to have a better understanding of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is a lipid in the body, the Taipei Book Clinic family medicine physician Tian Kang Hong-ming, shows that 70% of its own synthesis of cholesterol from the liver and the other 30 percent comes from food intake, mainly of animal food.
Good cholesterol and bad cholesterol
Cholesterol is a major element of the human cell membrane, is the hormone adrenaline, the hormone of the elements can be transformed into acid helps the body to digest fats, an increase of red blood cells life, protection, enhanced features such as the maintenance of blood vessels, so cholesterol is too low, it will affect the body Function.
If the breakdown of cholesterol in the blood, such as neutral fat, protein and combined into the material, known as LDL, can be divided into different weight to the low proportion of lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), as well as the proportion of high-lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL). The LDL is a risk factor for hardening of the arteries, is seen as "bad cholesterol", HDL can be attached to the artery wall to remove the LDL, to prevent atherosclerosis, it is called good cholesterol.
Triglyceride together inspection
Under normal circumstances, synthetic human body, the food intake of cholesterol can maintain a certain percentage. But the big problem is that modern nutrition and insufficient physical activity, emotional stress, regulate health effects, often caused by high cholesterol, the cumulative long-term, let the bad cholesterol "inflating", caused by hardening of the arteries, is hazardous to health.
Kang Hong-ming, shows that hardening of the arteries is prone to lead to high blood pressure, heart disease (heart attack), cerebrovascular obstruction, bleeding, as well as kidney failure and other organ diseases, but the total amount of cholesterol is not the only conditions in the health check, it is important to request another Check triglyceride, and HDL, LDL, whether there is a need to pay attention to diabetes, kidney disease and other related symptoms, and family history.
