Causes of high low density lipoprotein

summary

What is the reason for the high level of LDL? We all have the ratio of low-density lipoprotein in the physical examination report. Some people are on the high side, while others are on the low side. We all want to know about this low-density lipoprotein. Low density lipoprotein is the metabolic garbage of the body, and it is easy to lead to coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accident and other cardiovascular complications if it is too high, so we need active treatment once it is found. Let me share with you the reason why LDL is on the high side.

Causes of high low density lipoprotein

First of all, the reasons for the high level of LDL are as follows: 1. Saturated fat and trans fatty acids are the main causes of high LDL. 2. Less exercise and obesity. 3. Excessive mental pressure and depression.

Secondly, the lipoprotein in cholesterol has the function of transporting cholesterol to all parts of the body. Lipoprotein is divided into low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein. LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to the whole body, and HDL transports cholesterol back to the liver for metabolism. When LDL is increased, it carries cholesterol and accumulates on the arterial wall, which is easy to cause arteriosclerosis after a long time. So LDL is called "bad cholesterol.".

Finally, 1. Irregular diet: for example, not eating on time, or improper diet will cause high LDL. 2. High mental pressure: especially now the social competition is fierce, people's work pressure is also big, leading to people's nerves in a high tension all day long. 3. Lack of exercise: especially for office workers, because of work, they sit in the office all day and seldom exercise. Hepatobiliary diseases: the liver is the main organ that degrades LDL. If the liver function is abnormal, LDL is obviously on the high side.

matters needing attention

My opinion to the patients with high LDL: attention should be paid to the diet with high LDL: eating more bean products and drinking a small amount of wine (no more than 100 ml a day) can increase the level of HDL cholesterol. A large amount of alcohol is prone to obesity due to excess heat energy. At the same time, the amount of synthetic triglycerides in the liver increases, and the secretion of very low density lipoprotein cholesterol also increases, which leads to hyperlipidemia.
