In everyday life, “three heights” — high blood pressure, high sugar, high blood resin, like three impassioned guests — silently affect our health. They not only increase the physical burden, but may also cause a number of serious health problems. Limiting the intake of fat and cholesterol is the key to strangling this “three-high”.
Fat is actually an indispensable source of energy for our bodies. However, over-ingestion, especially saturated fats and trans-fats, becomes a “three-high” hotbed. Saturated fats are found in red meat, whole-fat dairy products and processed foods, while trans-fats are common in fast foods, baked foods and some snacks. In the interests of health, we should make every effort to select low-fat foods, such as skinny meat, fish, beans and low-fat dairy products, while reducing the intake of fried and high-fat foods.
When it comes to cholesterol, many think of “high cholesterol” foods, such as yolk and larvae. Indeed, high cholesterol diets increase levels of low-density protein (LDL) in blood, thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, limiting intake of exterior cholesterol is particularly critical. In addition to avoiding over-ingestion of high cholesterol foods, increased intake of soluble fibres, such as beans, fruit and vegetables, can help reduce cholesterol levels in blood.
Healthy diet is key to effectively limiting fat and cholesterol intake. Choosing foods that contain unsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and olive oil, helps to reduce “bad” cholesterol levels and protect cardiovascular health. At the same time, increasing dietary fibre intake and eating more of all cereals, vegetables and fruits not only provides abundant nutrition but also helps to control body weight and reduce the “triple” risk.
In addition to dietary adjustment, a healthy lifestyle is equally important. Regular exercise, such as walking, swimming or cycling, not only burns fat, but also improves CPR function and helps control blood pressure and blood sugar. At the same time, the cessation of smoking and the maintenance of a good mind are essential to the maintenance of health.
In short, limiting fat and cholesterol intake is an effective means of strangling “three heights”. Through healthy diets and active lifestyles, we can not only escape these health hazards but also enjoy a better life. Let’s do this together.
