Is blood lipid a harmful substance? In fact, scientists have confirmed that the rise of blood lipid is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke, so many friends will panic when they find that their blood lipid rises, so that their diet is at a loss, or even stop eating meat and oil, affecting normal life.
In fact, a certain range of blood lipids is not only harmless, but also essential for our human body.
A large number of scientific research shows that lipids play an important role in maintaining normal physiological activities of human body. For example, triglycerides are mainly involved in human energy metabolism, which can release a large amount of energy for the body's activities, while excessive energy can be stored in the form of triglycerides in case of emergency. Cholesterol is the main component of cell membrane, which plays a key role in stabilizing the normal function of cell membrane. At the same time, cholesterol is also an important raw material for the synthesis of some hormones, vitamin D and cholic acid. It can be seen that cholesterol is an essential factor to maintain the normal life of the body. Under normal circumstances, the absorption, consumption and transformation of lipids in the body maintain a relative balance, so the content of human lipids can be basically stable.
Although elevated blood lipids may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, too low triglycerides and cholesterol are not necessarily good. Hypolipidemia can be seen in the late stage of some chronic consumptive diseases. So we don't have to talk about 'fat' discoloration.
