A high-fat diet may harm the intestinal flora. What are the high-fat diets?

With the improvement of living standards and quality of life, more and more families tend to be high in fat, such as scones, fried chicken and barbecues, which make them drool. But long-term high-fat diet will lead to weight gain and increase the risk of illness, which is not alarmist.

The effect of high-fat diet on the brain is not just to control appetite. Studies have shown that inflammation caused by high-fat diet is a persistent low-grade inflammation. Free saturated fatty acids in high-fat diet will also lead to the decrease of protein transporters in the blood-brain barrier, resulting in glucose deficiency in hippocampus and cerebral cortex, and problems such as inattention and unresponsiveness.

The change from the traditional low-fat and high-sugar diet to the high-fat and low-sugar diet will inevitably affect the functional metabolism of the human body, including the changes of intestinal flora. There are many kinds of microorganisms in the human intestine. Although they live in the digestive tract, their impact on human health is far from limited to the gastrointestinal tract.

Even with the same calorie intake, long-term intake of high-fat diet will cause changes in intestinal flora, fecal metabolites and pro-inflammatory factors of healthy adults, which will have adverse effects on health, especially chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

High-fat diet will damage vascular endothelium, form atherosclerotic plaque, and cause hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, thrombus blocks blood vessels, which easily leads to myocardial ischemia, hypoxia and even sudden death.

Acute pancreatitis caused by hyperlipidemia is more common. Excessive fat intake will hinder blood flow, thus affecting the microcirculation of pancreatic blood vessels, leading to insufficient blood supply, and then leading to pancreatitis. High-fat diet can also accelerate the renewal of pancreatic cells, thus improving their sensitivity to carcinogens.

Eating too much high-fat food will also change the balance of intestinal microecosystem, increase the fat content in blood, hinder the metabolism of flora, reduce the number of beneficial bacteria, but increase the content of harmful bacteria. In addition, a long-term high-fat diet will also increase the incidence of colorectal cancer.

In addition, a good combination of meat and vegetables, eating at least 300~500 grams of vegetables every day, can provide the body with vitamins and dietary fiber needed to help lower cholesterol levels. In addition, the correct way to cook meat can be boiling or stewing.
