What happens if triglycerides and cholesterol continue to accumulate in the blood vessels in the body? The blood vessels gradually narrow and harden. This is called atherosclerosis or atherosclerosis. In the end, there are cases in which a person does not know until blood vessels are clogged and proceeds to a full-fledged vascular disease such as stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage) or myocardial infarction. A lot of belly fat comes out in this process. What foods might help?

◆ There are no symptoms until pain occurs due to clogged blood vessels… What if there is a problem with the blood flow?

Various risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, obesity, and age are involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Because there are no obvious symptoms, it can be left unattended until blood vessels are blocked (cerebral infarction) or burst (cerebral hemorrhage). Kidney damage may also occur. When more than 50 to 60% of the inside of a blood vessel (artery) is blocked, the blood flow is drastically reduced and the symptoms are felt. If you have hyperlipidemia or high blood pressure, but smoke or enjoy high-fat foods, you must immediately quit smoking and abstain from food.

◆ If you are not careful regarding food even following being diagnosed with hyperlipidemia

Dyslipidemia (hyperlipidemia) should be suspected when triglycerides and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) increase in the blood and “good” cholesterol (HDL) decreases. In other words, a lot of waste products in the blood are attached to the walls of blood vessels, increasing the risk of arteriosclerosis. Even following being diagnosed with hyperlipidemia in a health checkup, if you enjoy high-fat foods such as meat scaffolds, fried foods, and bacon, your blood vessels may become narrower. You should immediately switch to a low-fat-vegetables/fruit-fish diet. It is also good to eat the right amount of olive oil, perilla oil, and nuts.

◆ Weight control is important… Lean meat, less sugar and less salt

Weight control is also important for blood-vascular health. To maintain a healthy weight, you need to reduce your calorie intake and especially eat less sugar. Alcohol is high in calories and contains a lot of sugar. Eat lean meat, and be careful of saturated fat and cholesterol in oily areas. You should also avoid eating too much salt. This is because obesity, of course, increases blood pressure.

◆ Quit smoking right away, avoid secondhand smoke… Stress management is also important

If you still smoke, you should quit smoking immediately. Secondhand smoke should also be avoided. Smoke that comes straight from the end of a cigarette without going through a filter contains more harmful substances. It is good to exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, you must actively control it to prevent the progression of vascular disease. Excessive stress raises blood pressure as well as blood sugar. You should have your own stress management method, such as listening to music. It is also necessary to keep an eye on your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol.
