[Reporter Chen Jianzhi/Taichung Report] Mr. Cai in Taichung has diabetes. He usually takes hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering drugs regularly. Drinking alcohol, not eating fatty meat or animal skin that is too oily, and exercising regularly, why is the triglyceride high?

The nutritionist found out after inquiring about his eating habits that he ate multigrain bread for breakfast and snacks every day, unknowingly eating too much sugar and fat. After suggesting that he eat steamed buns and fresh milk oatmeal for breakfast, he was close to the normal value after half a year.

Chen Jingyi, a nutritionist in the Nutritional Therapy Department of Dali Renai Hospital, said that blood fat is mainly composed of cholesterol and triglycerides.

Chen Jingyi emphasized that people with hyperlipidemia have three times the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the future, so they should adjust their daily routine and diet to maintain blood lipid levels at or close to the ideal value, so as to reduce the occurrence of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Chen Jingyi pointed out that triglycerides are not only related to dietary fats, but also pay attention to refined sweets, foods containing sucrose or fructose, and alcohol; control fat intake, and eat less fried, fried or pastry foods, especially The wide variety of bread is more to be noted.

The triglycerides of Mr. Cai in Taichung exceeded the standard. The nutritionist suggested that he should eat milk, nuts and oatmeal for breakfast. The monounsaturated fatty acids and magnesium in the nuts, combined with the water-soluble fiber in the oatmeal, can control blood lipids and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Chen Jingyi said that according to the national standard of the Republic of China, the sugar and fat content of hard bread should each account for less than 4% of the flour.

For soft bread with a soft texture, the sugar and fat content is increased to 4 to 10%, and the sweet bread is more than 10%.

Because the difference in the proportion of sugar and fat affects the calories and taste, it is recommended that the public spend a little more time checking the ingredients and nutrition labels when purchasing bread, and choose bread with more whole grains, less processing, and less fillings. No burden on the body.

Under the advice of a nutritionist, in addition to maintaining an ideal weight and exercising regularly, Mr. Cai replaced bread with steamed buns, oatmeal and nuts for 3 to 4 days a week for breakfast, along with protein (such as 1 cup of sugar-free soy milk or fresh milk); eat more vegetables on weekdays , Appropriate amount of whole grains, miscellaneous grains and fruits, and take the medicine according to the doctor's advice. After half a year, the triglyceride has been reduced to close to the normal value.

Chen Jingyi also reminded that if the public has abnormal blood lipids, they should first distinguish what kind of hyperlipidemia is, and adjust their diet according to the possible causes, so as to effectively reduce blood fat and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
