What are the dangers of high blood sugar and blood lipids?

Modern people suffer from many conditions of the three highs. Not paying attention to their diet and staying up late often will lead to high blood pressure and blood sugar. Eating out more and some unhealthy cooking oils will also lead to increased cholesterol. After high blood sugar and blood lipids appear, some diseases, such as traumatic wounds, will heal very slowly. High blood sugar will increase the number of skin bacteria around the wound and hinder healing. During the treatment process, not only medication is needed, but also daily diet and schedule adjustments are required.

1. The general clinical manifestations of hyperglycemia are increased blood sugar and increased urine sugar, which can induce osmotic diuresis and thus cause symptoms of polyuria; increased blood sugar and large amounts of water loss will cause a corresponding increase in blood osmotic pressure, and high blood osmotic pressure can stimulate the thirst center of the hypothalamus, causing symptoms of thirst and polydipsia; due to the relative or absolute lack of insulin, glucose cannot be utilized in the body, and protein and fat consumption increase, causing fatigue and weight loss; in order to compensate for the loss of sugar and maintain body activity, more food is needed; this forms the typical "three more and one less" symptom. Short-term or one-time high blood sugar levels do not cause serious harm to the human body. However, long-term high blood sugar can cause lesions in various tissues and organs throughout the body, leading to the occurrence of acute and chronic complications. The dangers of high blood lipids and high blood sugar

2. The harm of high blood lipids

2-1. Causes fatty liver. Hyperlipidemia can cause liver damage, and long-term hyperlipidemia can lead to fatty liver. When the hepatic artery is damaged by atherosclerosis and the liver lobules are damaged, their structure changes, leading to cirrhosis and damage to liver function.

2-2. Cause cerebral thrombosis. High blood lipids can lead to high blood pressure. After atherosclerosis forms in the human body, it will lead to myocardial dysfunction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme will be activated in large quantities, causing blood vessel artery spasm, inducing adrenaline to secrete vasopressin, and causing high blood pressure. Once hypertension develops in the human body, the blood vessels will often be in spasm. The endothelium of the cerebral blood vessels is damaged after hardening, leading to rupture and hemorrhagic stroke. The cerebral blood vessels will stagnate in a state of embolic thrombosis, leading to cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism.

2-3. Lead to coronary heart disease. High blood lipids can lead to coronary heart disease. When the human body develops atherosclerosis due to long-term hyperlipidemia, the blood flow in the coronary arteries decreases, the blood vessel lumen becomes narrower, the amount of blood injected into the myocardium decreases, causing myocardial ischemia, leading to angina pectoris and coronary heart disease.

2-4. Formation of vascular sclerosis. High blood lipids can harm coronary arteries and cause atherosclerosis. A large amount of lipid proteins are deposited and moved in the plasma, reducing blood flow rate. After becoming rancid through oxidation, they are deposited on the arterial endothelium and adhere to the blood vessel walls for a long time, damaging the arterial endothelium and causing vascular sclerosis.

Dietary considerations for high blood lipids and high blood sugar

1. Pay attention to high blood lipid diet

1-1. Coffee and tea. Caffeine increases cholesterol in the body. Therefore, you should drink less coffee and tea and avoid taking medications containing caffeine. 1-2. How food is cooked. When cooking animal foods, absolutely avoid frying. The more suitable method is steaming and baking, so that

Allow the fat in the food to drip out.

1-3. Elderly persons aged 70 and above. For elderly people with high cholesterol over the age of 70, dietary treatment is not very meaningful because nutrition is more important to them.

1-4. Eat a variety of foods. Diverse food, mainly cereals, carefully matched, and corn, oatmeal, etc. can be added to the coarse grains in appropriate amounts

Ingredients, eat less monosaccharides, sucrose and sweets. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

1-5. Regular consumption of dairy products, beans and their products

1-6. Eat moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and lean meat regularly. Eat less fatty meat and animal oil. Remove the fat layer on the broth after it has cooled. Use less animal fat and limit the amount of vegetable oil. Avoid eating fatty meat, animal offal, margarine, creamy pastries, etc.

2. Pay attention to high blood sugar diet

1-1. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as corn, wheat, cabbage, leek, and bean products.

2-2. Vegetables with low sugar content. Such as leeks, zucchini, winter melon, pumpkin, green vegetables, green peppers, and eggplant. Tomatoes have a low sugar content and can be eaten as both a vegetable and a fruit.
