The risk of stroke rises for both men and women if they have higher levels of nonfasting triglycerides. It 's the conclusion of a Danish study published in Annals of Neurology that shows how the extent of fat in the blood may be a diagnostic indicator for the prevention of cerebral infarction'. The researchers have established the Copenhagen University Hospital examined the clinical data of over 7,500 women and 6,300 men monitored over a period of 33 years. For women the increased risk and 'estimated between 1.2 and 3.9 times respectively more if triglycerides exceed the 89 mg / dl and 443 mg /, while in men, with the same values, the risk grows from 1, 2 to 2.3 mg / dl.
The researchers wanted to investigate an area that usually escapes all'identikit for cardiovascular risk. Currently, the health recommendations point the finger on cholesterol as a key factor in preventing stroke, do not take into account the value of the measured triglycerides after meals. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) cardiovascular disease is the leading cause di morte a livello globale, responsabili di oltre 17 milioni di morti in tutto il mondo (2004), di cui 5,7 milioni dovuti a ictus.
Alcuni consigli utili:
1 - MANTENERE IL "PESO FORMA"
I trigliceridi svolgono nel nostro organismo essenzialmente la funzione di riserva energetica: le calorie in eccesso, quindi, vengono trasformate in queste sostanze, per poter essere immagazzinate con facilità. Chi ha un tasso elevato di trigliceridi nel sangue, pertanto, deve innanzitutto ridurre harmonically taking all foods, to balance the calories (the "revenue") with the energy expenditure (the "Release"), and so reduce weight. Improving weight control, the level of triglycerides will decrease.
2 - PASTA AND SUGAR "COMPLEX" BEST OF SUGAR "SIMPLE"
slow to digest complex sugars, which is especially abundant pasta prepared and cooked "Italian , are absorbed from the intestine more slowly than simple sugars, complex sugars, or even compared to the fastest-digestible such as those contained in the bread and potatoes. Consequently, they enter less quickly in the blood, stimulate a lower production of triglycerides by the liver. In some subjects, in addition, fructose (the sugar in fruit are rich in the autumn (persimmon, figs, grapes) and tropical fruits (bananas, pineapple, etc..) Represents a powerful stimulus for the production of triglycerides. We must limit the 'use of this fruit in the presence of high levels of triglycerides.
3 - PI Ù VEGETABLES AND LEGUMES
The vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which plays an effective action Control absorption intestinale dei grassi . La fibra contenuta nei legumi (che sono tra l'altro ricchi di zuccheri a lenta digeribilità) è particolarmente interessante, da questo punto di vista. Inoltre la fibra vegetale è scarsamente sensibile alla cottura: l'effetto descritto, pertanto, si mantiene anche nella verdura cotta.
4 - PREFERIRE AI GRASSI SOLIDI GLI OLI VEGETALI, RICCHI DI GRASSI INSATURI
I grassi saturi, caratteristici dei cibi di origine animale, tendono a stimolare la produzione di colesterolo e di trigliceridi da parte del fegato, mentre i grassi insaturi, which are rich in vegetable oils such as corn oil, have an opposite effect. Remember, however, that the most important thing, is not restriction of dietary fat, but that sugar : diet, in other words, must be more similar to that of a diabetic patient with high cholesterol.
5 - SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ALCOHOL
Alcohol in all its forms (wine, liquor, beer) in many subjects stimulates an intense production of triglycerides by the liver. In the presence of hypertriglyceridemia is therefore necessary to control or better the elimination of this substance. because the personal response to alcohol is highly variable, and moderate consumption of alcohol may increase the level of HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) is good to maintain control of triglycerides after 2-3 weeks of diet completely free of alcohol, without changing the rest of the structure of the diet.
6 - INCREASED CONSUMPTION OF FISH
fats in fish are characterized by three interesting properties: are effective in lowering the rate of triglycerides in the blood, play action antithrombotic (similar to that within certain limits, well known, owned by aspirin) and are also good antiarrhythmic . Two or three meals of fish per week (or at least an adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids from food, supplemented or enriched), should steadily in our diet.
7 - MAKE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY À
Increase your physical activity contributes in some ways to normalize the level of triglycerides. It can help to control body weight, an element, as he remembered, of recognized importance from this point of view, and also helps the muscles to "burn" better themselves triglycerides to produce energy necessaria per il movimento. L'attività fisica, infatti, aumenta l'attività degli enzimi che digeriscono i trigliceridi (soprattutto la Lipoprotein-Lipasi, o LPL). Praticare un'adeguata attività fisica, tra l'altro, è un elemento essenziale di ogni ricetta per il benessere e la salute.
8 - INFORMARE IL MEDICO
Un elevato tasso di trigliceridi nel sangue può essere la conseguenza di malattie a carico del rene (la sindrome nefrosica, per esempio), del diabete mellito, o dell'uso di certi farmaci (specie di alcuni farmaci per abbassare la pressione arteriosa). Il medico, talvolta con l'aiuto di alcuni appropriate testing can clarify the cause of hypertriglyceridemia and activate, at this stage, targeted therapeutic intervention.
9 - THE ROLE OF DRUGS
Your doctor may decide, in certain situations, to administer certain drugs to reduce the rate of triglycerides in the blood. These drugs are taken continuously, such as drugs for diabetes or blood pressure or cholesterol. If procure medicines disorders (which also happens rarely), not stop treatment, but consult with your doctor.
10 - THE MORNING OF THE EXAMINATION TO FAST!
order to correctly measure the rate of triglycerides, and see if it is amended following a proper diet or due to the effect of a drug, you must be fasting at the time of the levy by at least 12 hours, and having consumed the previous evening, a light meal. Do not get up during the night, to drink a glass of milk or a sugary drink in the refrigerator: the test result could be affected. If possible, also used the same laboratory for the future control of serum triglycerides.
