What is a Good Cholesterol Ratio?

Total serum cholesterol (TC) is the sum of cholesterol in all lipoproteins in the blood. Total cholesterol includes free cholesterol (FC) and cholesterol esters (CE). The liver is the main organ for synthesis and storage. Cholesterol is an important raw material for the synthesis of physiologically active substances such as adrenocortical hormones, sex hormones, bile acids and vitamin D. It is also the main component of the cell membrane. Its serum concentration can be used as an indicator of lipid metabolism. Refers to the clinical increase in total blood cholesterol called hypercholesterolemia.

Total serum cholesterol is the sum of cholesterol in all lipoproteins in the blood.

Conventional methods for the determination of serum total cholesterol (TC) include chemical and enzymatic methods. Previously, the chemical method was mainly used, mainly the acetic acid, acetic anhydride, sulfuric acid reaction (LB method) and ferric sulfuric acid reaction.Because of the use of strong acid reagents, the specificity is poor, there are many interference factors, and the operation is complicated. Because of automatic analysis, it has been almost completely replaced by enzymatic determination. The enzymatic method has good specificity, precision and sensitivity can meet the requirements of clinical laboratories. It can be operated manually or suitable for automatic analysis. At present, the cholesterol oxidase method (COD-PAP method) has been recommended as a routine measurement method by the Inspection Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. TC measurement has established a complete reference system abroad, such as the United States has established a National Reference System (NRSchol), which is very important for the standardization of blood lipid measurement. This system contains three levels of determination methods, that is, deterministic, reference and conventional methods.It also contains three levels of reference materials (original (level 1) standards, reference serum level standards) and calibration ^[1]

Based on the "bias" of cholesterol, many people want to clear cholesterol from their diets "cleanly". It seems that they cannot maintain normal blood cholesterol levels without doing so. In fact, this is neither realistic nor good for health.

First of all, when we pay too much attention to the possible harm of increased serum cholesterol to the human body, do not ignore the benefits of normal cholesterol levels on the human body, for example: cholesterol is an important component of human cells; cholesterol is the premise of many important hormones and vitamin synthesis; It is part of important organs such as the brain, liver, etc ... Lack of cholesterol can cause a range of health problems.

Second, only about 30% of cholesterol comes from diet, and 70% comes from synthesis in the body. If the cholesterol in the diet is strictly restricted, the synthesis in the body will increase; on the contrary, if the cholesterol in the diet is high, the synthesis in the body will decrease. In general, the two maintain a dynamic balance. Perhaps this may explain to some extent why some people who have long-term vegetarian diets and low dietary cholesterol intake may also have elevated blood cholesterol.

Again, since cholesterol is often associated with other

Adult: 2.9 6.0mmol / L

Child: 3.1 5.2mmol / L

Increases are seen in nephrotic syndrome, atherosclerosis,

1. Improper diet . Eat too much high cholesterol foods like heart,

Total serum cholesterol (TC) includes esterified cholesterol (CE) and free cholesterol (FC). CE is a combination of FC and fatty acids in the liver under the action of LCAT, and can also be hydrolyzed to FC by hydrolytic enzymes. The cell is mainly FC, while both are present in the plasma, and the content of CE is more, accounting for about 70% to 80%. Healthy people's TC levels are related to factors such as gender, age, diet, living habits, mental factors, work nature, exercise, and smoking. Chinese TC is significantly lower than European and American countries and Russians. China TC reference value: 2.82 to 5.95 mmol / L for healthy adults, 3.12 to 5.20 mmol / L for children, and 1.65 to 1.95 mmol / L for newborns ^[2]

Increase:

1.Cholesterol> 6.2mmol / L is

1. Eat a light diet including low fat, low sugar, and low salt. Low fat includes two points, one is not eating fatty meat and animal skin; the other is not eating high cholesterol foods, such as animal offal and scaleless fish, including crab yellow, shrimp brain, eel, squid and so on. Low sugar includes controlling rice and high-sugar foods, because too much carbohydrate intake exceeds the body's consumption, the excess will be converted into triglycerides through a series of biochemical reactions. Since consumption is less after dinner, it is more important to control the staple food. Low salt means strict control of tangible and intangible salt intake. The physiological requirement of human body for salt is about 5 grams a day, and the average intake of Chinese people is much higher than the standard. Patients with hyperlipidemia should not only eat light dishes, but also need to avoid pickled cucumbers, pine eggs, bacon and other high-salt foods. Generally, the cap of Chinese small toothpaste is 1 gram, and the patient can control it by himself.
2. Quit alcohol. It is mainly to quit liquor, which can disrupt fat metabolism in the body. Others, such as wine and rice wine, drink moderately to activate blood vessels, but remember not to be greedy, alcoholism will increase blood lipids.
3 Steaming, boiling, braising, simmering, boiling, and stewing should be used instead of frying, frying, roasting, and smoking.

1. Types and forms of exercise: Mainly endurance sports, such as jogging, fast walking, going up and down, cycling, swimming, etc.

2. Exercise intensity: Indirectly assessed by the degree of acceleration of heart rate during exercise, generally controlled at 100 to 145 beats / min, or the heart rate accelerated to 75% of the maximum predicted value (maximum predicted value = 210-age).
3 Exercise time and frequency: Generally 30 to 45 minutes / time, 3 to 5 times per week is appropriate. Make 5-10 minutes of preparatory movements before exercise, and there should also be a 5-10 minute deceleration period before the end of exercise.
4 If you have coronary heart disease, exercise should be under the guidance of a doctor.

1. 100 grams of fresh kelp or water kelp, 50 grams of mung beans, 500 ml of water, 1 to 2 bowls of porridge daily. For hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and phlegm heat.
2. Take about 10 cm of the lower stem of celery and 20 branches with roots, wash, add 500 ml of water, and fry 200 ml for head juice and add honey orally. Fry the second juice in the same way. Fasting is best. Suitable for hypercholesterolemia, hypertension liver yang, blood stasis, and phlegm.

Another method: honey celery juice: fresh celery in moderation. Wash and squeeze the juice, add 20 grams of Ji'antang acacia flower honey, drink 2 to 3 times a day, one tablespoon each time, drink and drink before meals, have a good effect on reducing total cholesterol, urethral stones, prostatitis, dermatitis Therapeutic effect.

Honey has been regarded as an excellent nutritious food since ancient times. The main component of honey is sugar. The sum of fructose and glucose accounts for 85% to 95% of honey sugar. Mineral content is generally 0.04% to 0.06%, including iron, copper, potassium, sodium, tungsten, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, lead, chromium, nickel and cobalt. In addition, honey also contains B vitamins, vitamin C, as well as niacin and pantothenic acid. The function of germanium in the human body is manifold. First, because it has dehydrogenation ability, it can maintain sufficient oxygen in the body, effectively reduce the problem of high cholesterol, and thus maintain human health. In the human body, the decomposition of food is carried out by means of oxygen. During food decomposition, oxygen is consumed and water and carbon dioxide are produced simultaneously. Without sufficient oxygen, the body may cause diseases. Germanium can take hydrogen ions out of the human body and reduce the need for oxygen, which is beneficial to health. Japanese scientists have added a polymer of dimethyl germanium oxide to honey, which has become a best-selling health product.
3 Stir fry or boil the onion with seasoning, avoid animal oil. Eat 100 grams daily. It is suitable for patients with hyperlipidemia with hypertension and coronary heart disease myocardial infarction.
4 Garlic juice is taken orally every other day in moderation. For hyperlipidemia myocardial infarction, phlegm and stasis.
5. 10 grams of hawthorn, 10 grams of chrysanthemum flowers, 15 grams of cassia seeds, Jiantang substitute tea daily service. It is suitable for those with hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol, partial taste of thick paste and hyperactivity of liver yang with hypertension.

6. 50-100 grams of dried peanut shells, decoction after washing, 1 dose daily. Suitable for hyperlipidemia and spleen deficiency.
