Patient's question:
My father really loves greasy food and doesn't like vegetables much. Recently, he said he wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital. The health check results showed triglycerides were high at 2.91 and total cholesterol at 540. I wonder what these health check results mean?Doctor's answer:
Multiple occurrences of significantly elevated cholesterol are directly related to long-term excessive consumption of greasy food. It is often easier to develop atherosclerosis in the cerebral arteries. It is recommended that you consider paying attention to increasing exercise and actively reducing weight. Try to eat more fresh fruits and reduce the intake of greasy food during daily life. Avoid eating fatty meats and internal organs of animals. Enhance personal physical fitness. In necessary situations, oral medication can be considered.
