What is triglyceride? How to prevent high triglyceride

4hw.com.cn: obesity has become a headache in people's lives. More and more people will gain weight with age. With the increase of body weight, our body will be more and more heavy, and the "three highs" will follow. We are very familiar with fat, but when it comes to the composition of fat, it may not be clear. It is composed of glycerol and triglycerides, so fat is also called triglycerides. Most tissues can use triglycerides to decompose products and supply energy.

Fat is also a kind of lipids, which is composed of oil, fat and lipids, of which fat accounts for 95% of the total lipids, and is the largest component of lipids. The basic unit of triglyceride is fatty acid, so obese people are prone to high triglyceride, which is also what we call hyperlipidemia. High triglyceride in the body is one of the main causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. So in our daily life, we must prevent the high triglyceride.

How to prevent high triglyceride?

Quit smoking and drinking

Nicotine in cigarettes can increase the contraction of peripheral blood vessels and the stress of heart muscle, which can raise blood pressure and cause angina. Improper drinking will lead to the decrease of heart function and damage of gastrointestinal tract, liver, nervous system and endocrine system, so we should absolutely stop smoking and avoid drinking.

Moderate drinking tea

Catechins in tea can enhance the flexibility, elasticity and permeability of blood vessels and prevent them from hardening. Among them, theophylline and caffeine in tea have the functions of stimulating spirit, promoting blood circulation, reducing fatigue and diuresis. Appropriate amount of tea can eliminate greasy diet and achieve the effect of weight loss. But not too much, drinking strong tea will stimulate the heart, make the heart rate faster, harmful to the body.

Exercise to lose weight

One of the important measures to prevent hyperlipidemia is to control obesity. In addition to diet control, jogging, Wuqinxi, Taijiquan, table tennis, old disco and other physical exercises are advocated. Usually often participate in physical labor, control weight growth.

How to treat hyperlipidemia?

1. Diet should be reasonable, and the basis of treatment of hyperlipidemia is reasonable diet. Before drug treatment, any hyperlipidemia patients should be treated with diet first, which is the most physiological and effective measure. Because more or less all lipid-lowering drugs have certain side effects, we should usually eat more vegetables and coarse grains, such as millet, oats, beans and other foods. In addition, we should not relax reasonable diet measures even when using drugs for treatment.

2. Sports, appropriate exercise can increase consumption, improve lipid metabolism, prevent the increase of body fat and blood lipid. Exercise can make the blood lipid content of patients with hypertriglyceridemia completely reduce to normal level. Not only that, exercise can improve the heart function, increase the collateral circulation of the heart, so as to prevent and treat coronary heart disease.

3. Appropriate physical therapy, when the above methods are not effective, should be supplemented by mineral bath, liver electromagnetic therapy and other physical therapy. Among them, liver electromagnetic therapy can regulate liver metabolism disorder and correct hyperlipidemia.

4. In the treatment of drugs, some hyperlipidemia are stubborn and serious, and can be treated with appropriate drugs. At present, most of the lipid-lowering drugs have only short-term effect, which are very in line with the physiological requirements, and there will be obvious side effects if they are used for a long time. Therefore, drug therapy is the necessary measure to treat the disorder of lipid metabolism in high-risk patients of coronary heart disease, which needs to be combined with non drug therapy.
