What is high cholesterol

summary

Cholesterol is a common disease in our blood, and the occurrence of this disease has a lot to do with our people's daily diet, and eggs are more involved in the occurrence of this disease. What should we pay attention to? Let's take a look at what is high cholesterol.

What is high cholesterol

First, cholesterol is also an important indicator of clinical biochemical examination. Under normal circumstances, cholesterol synthesized by the body in the liver and ingested from food will be converted into steroids or components of cell membrane, and the concentration of cholesterol in the blood will be kept constant. When severe liver lesions occur, cholesterol levels are reduced. In patients with jaundice obstruction and nephrotic syndrome, cholesterol levels tend to rise.

Second: cholesterol mainly comes from the synthesis of human body itself, and cholesterol in food is a secondary supplement. For example, an adult with a weight of 70kg has about 140g of cholesterol in his body, and about 1g of it is renewed every day. Four fifths of it is metabolized in his body, and only one fifths of it needs to be supplemented with food. If everyone takes 200mg of cholesterol from food every day, it can meet the needs of his body. The absorption rate of cholesterol is only 30%. With the increase of food cholesterol content, the absorption rate will decrease. 200mg is about equal to the cholesterol content of one egg or the cholesterol absorption of 3-4 eggs. Experts suggest that it is better to take 50 mg ~ 300 mg cholesterol every day.

Third: the nutrition community believes that cholesterol is a kind of lipid that can be synthesized by other substances in the human body, not necessarily with the help of cholesterol in food. For example, every kilogram of body weight can produce 12 ~ 13mg of cholesterol in the blood every day, and the cholesterol intake through diet often accounts for only 1 / 3 ~ 1 / 7 of the body's synthetic cholesterol.

matters needing attention

Understanding the knowledge about cholesterol, in contrast, we should pay attention to their usual eating habits, in order to avoid the occurrence of this disease as much as possible, and pay more attention to the suitable consumption of egg food, which is the fundamental to prevent the occurrence of this disease.
