Causes of high triglycerides

High triglycerides are commonly known as hyperlipidemia. With the change of people's dietary structure and the improvement of living standards in modern society, obesity, hypertension and other diseases have become common diseases of affluence among modern people, and the resulting high incidence of high triglycerides has remained high. What is the cause of high triglycerides? This is something that many people with bad eating habits need to pay attention to.

The causes of primary high triglycerides are as follows:

1. High triglycerides are related to genetic factors. High blood lipids can be inherited. This is due to problems with certain cells in the body that synthesize and metabolize fat, which makes these cells unable to metabolize fat effectively, thereby causing high triglycerides.

2. Dietary factors. The role of dietary factors is relatively complex, and a considerable proportion of hospitalizations of patients with hyperlipoproteinemia are closely related to dietary factors.

3. Lack of negative ions (negative oxygen ions) in the blood. Clinical experiments have shown that normal red blood cells and colloid particles in the blood are negatively charged and repel each other, maintaining a certain distance. However, diseased and aging red blood cells are positively charged due to the competition for electrons. Due to the attraction between positive and negative electrodes, the red blood cells clump together, causing the blood to become viscous.

Secondary hyperlipidemia

Secondary hyperlipidemia is caused by other intermediate primary diseases, including: diabetes, liver disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, pancreas, obesity, glycogen storage disease, gout, Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, abnormal globulinemia, etc.

1. Diabetes and hyperlipoproteinemia. There is a close connection between sugar metabolism and fat metabolism in the human body. Clinical studies have found that about 40% of diabetic patients may develop hyperlipidemia.

2. Liver disease and hyperlipoproteinemia. Modern medical research data confirms that many substances, including lipids and lipoproteins, are processed, produced, decomposed and excreted in the liver. Once the liver is diseased, lipid and lipoprotein metabolism will inevitably become disordered.

3. Obesity and hyperlipoproteinemia. Local clinical medical research data show that obesity most often causes increased blood triglyceride levels. In some patients, blood cholesterol levels may also increase, mostly manifested as type IV hyperlipoproteinemia, followed by type IIB hyperlipoproteinemia.

Abnormal fat metabolism or function that causes one or more plasma lipids to be higher than normal is called hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is a systemic disease, which refers to high total cholesterol (TC) and/or triglycerides (TG) in the blood or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Modern medicine calls it dyslipidemia. The causes of hyperlipidemia can basically be divided into two categories, namely primary hyperlipidemia and secondary hyperlipidemia.

In short, there are many reasons for high triglycerides, which are closely related to genetic factors, bad eating habits, obesity, lack of exercise, long-term use of certain medications, etc. For patients with high triglycerides, paying attention to diet, exercising more, eating less high-fat and high-calorie foods, and changing bad eating habits are important ways to alleviate and eliminate high triglycerides.
