Specialist Doctor Ho Thanh Lich, Deputy Head of the Intensive Care - Emergency Department, Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital, said that information about blood fat filtration to prevent stroke is incorrect. According to regulations of the Ministry of Health, people are indicated for blood filtration when the blood fat index is high above 11 mmol/L with pancreatitis, which means it is indicated in severe cases, threatening the patient's life and is performed with strict procedures.
"Because this is a specialized technique, it must be performed by a specialized doctor with modern equipment. In addition, the process of performing blood fat filtration also has the potential risk of dangerous complications for the patient. Therefore, there is no such thing as blood filtration to prevent long-term blood fat or prevent stroke," said Dr. Lich.
Lipid filtration is a specialized technique applied under the doctor's prescription when necessary.
According to Dr. Lich, in the causes of stroke, besides unchangeable factors such as age, gender, family history, etc., pathological factors also increase the risk of stroke, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, blood fat, overweight, obesity, unhealthy lifestyle (addiction to tobacco, alcohol, etc.). Of which, high blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke.
To prevent stroke, people need to pay attention to diet and lifestyle to prevent the above mentioned risk factors such as:
- Regarding nutrition, supplement vegetables, beans, and grains.
- Eat lots of white meat, seafood, and eggs to supplement protein for the body, limit eating red meat.
- Limit foods high in fat, fried foods, and fast food.
- Limit sweets and foods high in sugar.
- Drink lots of water, fruit juice, soy milk...
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Exercise regularly and appropriately.
- No smoking.
- Regular health check-ups.
What to eat to reduce bad fat
Nutritionist Nguyen Thu Ha, Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital, said that bad blood fat can increase after a meal with a lot of fatty foods. Eating a lot of foods rich in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol over time can lead to an increase in bad blood fat in the body, which is very dangerous because it can cause the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, foods such as animal fat, red meat, processed foods, fast food and foods high in sugar can affect the amount of fat in the blood. In short, foods containing saturated fat and cholesterol are the leading cause of cardiovascular health problems (such as coronary atherosclerosis), increased blood cholesterol and internal organs (such as fatty liver), as well as overweight, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
“Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a balanced diet, rich in fiber and low in saturated fat and sugar to protect health. Choosing healthy foods such as whole grains, vegetables, salmon, flax seeds, chia seeds and olive oil can help support cardiovascular health by reducing bad blood fats and increasing good blood fats,” Dr. Ha shared.
