Do you know what your cholesterol is? Speaking of cholesterol, it's really complicated. It depends not only on total cholesterol, but also on low-density cholesterol and high-density cholesterol. Even high-density cholesterol is different between men and women. Just trying to confuse people. However, although the level of cholesterol is related to health, and if the total cholesterol is too high, it is easy to suffer from cardiovascular diseases; However, if you want to lower your cholesterol, it is more important to have a balanced diet and exercise than to restrict your cholesterol diet excessively.
The total cholesterol should be within 200mg/dl, with high density and low density.
Chen Yuhan, a nutritionist at Millennium Love Health Foundation, said that the standard of total cholesterol is below 200mg/dl, while high-density cholesterol is good cholesterol. There are standards for men and women, with men above 40mg/dl and women above 50mg/dl. As for low-density cholesterol, there is no difference between men and women, and its standard is less than 130mg/dl.
Lack of cholesterol can also be harmful to health.
Many people found that their cholesterol exceeded the standard when they went to the health check-up, so they began to limit their diet, not eating meat or touching eggs, and even began to be vegetarian. They are afraid that eating too much cholesterol food will cause cardiovascular disease. As we all know, cholesterol also shoulders other important responsibilities in the body, and the lack of cholesterol will also be harmful to health.
Dietary cholesterol is not as terrible as you think.
Nutritionist Chen Yuhan pointed out that cholesterol in food mainly comes from animal foods, such as meat with high fat content, egg yolk or internal organs. However, many studies have pointed out that the cholesterol in the diet has little effect on the cholesterol in the general human body, because 70% of the cholesterol in the human body is made by itself. Instead of excessively restricting cholesterol in the diet, it is better to choose lean meat or plant protein-derived foods and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, which will help cholesterol metabolism and improve the problem of high cholesterol.
Proper exercise increases beneficial cholesterol.
Nutritionist Chen Yuhan further pointed out that besides paying attention to total cholesterol, it is also important to maintain a good concentration of sterols (high-density cholesterol). High-density cholesterol is like a scavenger in blood vessels, which can help remove excessive cholesterol in blood vessels, avoid blood vessel blockage and prevent cardiovascular diseases! However, regular aerobic exercise is the only way to increase beneficial cholesterol in the body. Therefore, if you want to control cholesterol, you should not only know how to eat, but also know how to move!
