A 10-year-old boy suffers from hypertension and 3 family members have strokes. The doctor revealed that it was caused by eating 1 food |
A Taiwanese toxicology nurse said that due to a dietary habit in a local family, one teenage boy also suffered from high blood pressure and three had strokes. Experts pointed out that this is because the family often eats a type of meat and cooking oil, which is high in saturated fat and is sick. The Hong Kong Department of Health has pointed out that saturated fat makes blood more likely to clot, which can lead to arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease and other diseases.
1 food habit causes hypertension and stroke.
1 Dieting causes high blood pressure and stroke
Tan Dunci, a toxicology nurse from TaiwanThe program “The Doctor is Hot”The shared case refers to a family that sold pork for a living. The whole family ate pork for three meals and cooked with lard. As a result, a teenage boy suffered from high blood pressure and three family members suffered strokes. He stressed that lard is high in saturated fatty acids and can be used occasionally for seasoning, but it shouldn’t be added to every dish.

Tan Dunci said that there is no absolutely good or bad cooking oil, but it is best not to use one type of oil to the end, you can try different cooking oils. She cited the American College of Cardiology’s recommendation that when choosing cooking oil, the higher the monounsaturated fatty acid, the better, because it can raise the body’s good cholesterol; if the saturated fatty acid is higher, it will increase the bad cholesterol in the body.
Saturated fats increase the risk of stroke
According to the Hong Kong Department of Health, fat is basically composed of 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids. Common fats in food can be divided into two categories: “saturated fat” and “unsaturated fat”. Excessive intake of the former increases the risk of disease, while the latter can reduce cholesterol levels.
Saturated fats
It makes blood clotting more likely, leading to arteriosclerosis, stroke, heart disease and other diseases, and promotes the production of cholesterol in the liver.
Excessive intake will increase bad cholesterol in the blood and its negative effects are greater than eating too much cholesterol.
unsaturated fats
It can be divided into monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) in the body and keep blood vessels unblocked.
Saturated fat vs unsaturated fat foods
The Center for Food Safety lists the properties and food examples of saturated fat and unsaturated fat. In addition to reducing your intake of foods high in saturated fat, you should also eat fewer trans fat foods to avoid increasing your risk of disease.

Saturated fats
Properties of saturated fats and examples of foods
Properties of saturated fats
1. It will increase low-density lipoprotein (soil cholesterol) in the body, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and other diseases.
2. Intake should be less than 10% (about 20 grams) of total daily energy needs.
3. It is solid at room temperature.
Food sources of saturated fat
1. Animal fat
Examples: beef, lamb, pork, poultry
Examples: Beef fat/lard, lard, and dairy products (such as cheese, cream, and whole milk)
2. Some tropical oils
Examples: palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil
Saturated fats.
unsaturated fats
Properties of unsaturated fats and examples of foods
Properties of unsaturated fats
1. It is an important part of a healthy diet and is divided into monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat.
2. It is used to replace saturated fat, which can reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the body and keep blood vessels unblocked.
Linoleic acid and linolenic acid contained in polyunsaturated fats are essential fatty acids, which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be absorbed from food, and are very important for human health.
It can dilute blood concentration, lower blood pressure and improve immune system function.
Polyunsaturated fatty foods Oils rich in polyunsaturated fats
Examples: corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, fatty fish oil, nut and seed oils
Precautions
The vegetable oil will be converted into trans fat after the hydrogenation process. Excessive consumption will raise blood cholesterol and lower good cholesterol.
It is recommended that you reduce your intake of trans fats, including: margarine and fatty foods containing trans fats, and fried and baked foods (such as shortbread, cookies, etc.) prepared or cooked with these fats.
Vegetable saturated fats come from coconut oil, palm oil.
3. Increase bad cholesterol in the body by reducing high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol), increasing the risk of heart disease.
trans fat foods
Most trans fats are produced industrially.
It is found in foods containing partially hydrogenated oils, such as margarine, vegetable fats, and fried/baked foods.
Meat and dairy products from cattle and sheep may contain a small amount of trans fat.
Properties of trans fats.
The Center for Food Safety has emphasized that fats, carbohydrates and proteins are all sources of energy in the human diet. Fat is the most concentrated source of energy, providing 9 kcal of energy per gram. Fat also has many other important functions in the body, such as the transport of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and the formation of cell membranes.
However, eating too much fat can lead to serious health problems, including an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers. To prevent the aforementioned noncommunicable diseases, WHO recommends that total fat accounts for only 15 to 30 percent of total energy intake. Taking for example a person whose daily energy requirement is about 2000 kcal, only 300 to 600 kcal of daily energy intake should come from fat (about 33 to 67 grams).

According to Hong KongInformation from the Ministry of Health“Stroke” is proven to be caused by blockage or bursting of blood vessels in the brain, which prevents the brain tissue from receiving sufficient nutrients and oxygen, and as a result the affected nerve cells die, resulting in various neurological symptoms.
9 main stroke symptoms:
1. Hemiplegia
2. Confused speech
3. crooked mouth
4. Oblique eyes
5. Difficulty swallowing
6. Incontinence
7. Feeling of numbness
8. Deburr
9. In severe cases, coma or death may occur
A 10-year-old boy had high blood pressure and three of his family members had strokes. After consulting a doctor, he revealed that he often ate 1 food and had an accident.
Ways to prevent stroke
According to the Department of Health, the main causes of stroke are smoking, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, so to prevent stroke, we must pay attention to daily living habits to avoid the occurrence of atherosclerosis:
not smoking
Maintain a balanced diet, eat foods that are low in fat and reduce foods that are high in salt
reduce alcohol consumption
regular moderate exercise
Weight control
Get plenty of rest and avoid stress
Check your body regularly and check your blood pressure (at least once every two years)
5 formulas to recognize the warning signs of stroke
Taiwanese nutritionist Gao Minmin in hisFacebook pageIt is emphasized that the key after a stroke is to seize the golden treatment time to reduce the risk of disability and death. He also listed the “BE-FAST” formula for identifying and treating stroke, urging the public to seek immediate medical attention if they find themselves or their loved ones suddenly experiencing symptoms:
Recognize and address the BE-FAST stroke formula
1. Balance out of balance
The body inadvertently loses its balance and falls easily.
2. Eyes Cloudy eyes
Suddenly the vision blurred.
3. Face with crooked mouth and oblique face
Sudden distortion of the mouth or face.
4. Arm weakness in hands and feet
Sudden weakness in a hand or foot.
5. Smooth vocal
Speech suddenly becomes inarticulate and slurred.

If any of the above symptoms appear, please write down the time when the symptoms occurred and call an ambulance as soon as possible to send the patient to the hospital urgently.
