Program for regulation lipid status
Disorders in the metabolism that lead to an increase in lipids in the blood are one of the most common problems of modern man. The causes of elevated lipids can be numerous, but it is undeniable that diet and lifestyle contribute significantly to the etiology of this disease.
An untidy diet, rich primarily in sugars, and then in “bad” fats, lack of physical activity, obesity, tobacco smoke, are some of the factors that can worsen your genetic predisposition to the occurrence or development of this metabolic disorder.
It is very important to emphasize that the problem of elevated lipid status, except in rare cases of hypertension, does not have to give any warning signs and can occur in people of all ages, including obese and normally well-nourished people.
Lipid status means: – Total cholesterol – Triglycerides – HDL cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) – LDL cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”)
Elevated values of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides carry the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
How to reduce cholesterol is a question that bothers many, because cholesterol usually associates us with something bad, which threatens to endanger our health. It is very important to know that cholesterol has a number of useful roles in our body, so optimal values are necessary for your good health.
Some of the important roles of cholesterol are:
– It represents a source of energy
– It is part of cell membranes, and a healthy membrane enables better absorption of nutrients
– It is the starting compound for the creation of vitamin D
– Participates in the creation of sex hormones and hormones of the adrenal gland
A low level of HDL “good” cholesterol carries the risk of disorders of sex hormones, depression, anxiety, as well as a number of other health complications.
When it comes to therapeutic nutrition, it is recommended to reduce total fat intake to 25-35% of total calories. For the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in people over 20 years old, it is recommended to determine the lipid status at least once every 5 years, while it is mandatory to advise patients with cardiovascular diseases and/or diabetes.
If applied in time, adequate nutrition and lifestyle changes represent an adequate method in the regulation of lipid status.
For this program, a daily menu is recommended where all meals are precisely determined and carefully planned.
