Foods high in saturated and trans fat
This is the main cause of increased bad cholesterol (LDL-C), causing blood vessel blockages. Foods that need to be restricted include: fatty red meat such as beef, pork belly, lamb; fried foods such as fried chicken, french fries, fried sausages, donuts; fast food and processed foods such as sausages, sausages, bacon, instant noodles; margarine, fatty cream, pastries, industrial biscuits because they contain a lot of trans fat - a type of fat that is harmful to the cardiovascular system.
Instead, you should use plant oils that are good for the heart such as olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil or soybean oil in cooking.
Animal organs and poultry skin
Liver, heart, kidneys, intestines... are foods that contain a lot of bad cholesterol. Chicken skin, duck skin and grilled dishes from internal organs also cause blood fat to increase rapidly, so they should only be used very little or removed from the diet.
Foods high in simple sugars and refined starch
Sugar and white starch when entering the body will quickly convert into excess energy, increasing triglycerides in the blood. People with high blood fat need to limit foods such as confectionery, carbonated soft drinks, bottled fruit juice, condensed milk; white bread, white rice, vermicelli, pho, refined noodles.
Instead, you should prioritize whole grains, brown rice, oats, and sweet potatoes to provide sustainable energy and supplement good fiber for the heart.
Alcohol and beverages
Regular use of alcohol can increase triglycerides, causing liver damage and blood fat metabolism disorders. People with high blood fat should stop or minimize alcoholic beverages.
Salty and salty spices
Eating salty food not only increases blood pressure but also indirectly affects blood lipid disorders. It is necessary to limit foods such as pickled vegetables, pickled eggplant, fish sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, canned foods. When processing, it is necessary to reduce the amount of salt, seasoning powder and limit the use of a lot of dipping sauce.
Foods high in cholesterol
Not only internal organs, some seafood such as shrimp, crab, and squid also contain high levels of cholesterol. Patients do not need to abstain completely, but should use them at a reasonable level and prioritize processing methods such as steaming, boiling instead of frying or stir-frying.
