Core Viewpoint - Many individuals unknowingly have high blood lipid levels despite believing they maintain a healthy lifestyle, primarily due to five common habits that contribute to elevated blood lipids [2][5][10]. Group 1: Unhealthy Habits Leading to High Blood Lipids - Habit 1: Skipping Breakfast - Regularly skipping breakfast is significantly associated with abnormal blood lipid levels, increasing "bad cholesterol" (LDL) and triglycerides while decreasing "good cholesterol" (HDL), thus raising cardiovascular disease risk [2][3]. - Habit 2: Late-Night Snacking - Consuming late-night snacks, such as barbecued food or instant noodles, also leads to increased LDL and triglycerides, similar to the effects of skipping breakfast [5][6]. - Habit 3: Eating Greasy Meals - Even occasional indulgence in greasy meals can cause a spike in blood lipids within four hours, with significant increases in triglyceride levels observed in both younger and older adults [6]. - Habit 4: Excessive Carbohydrate Intake - Overconsumption of carbohydrates can convert into fat in the body, contributing to elevated blood lipid levels [7][9]. - Habit 5: Drinking Sugary Beverages - Regular consumption of sugary drinks is linked to higher levels of LDL and triglycerides, while lowering HDL levels [10][11]. Group 2: Recommendations for Healthy Blood Lipid Levels - Point 1: Increase Good Fats and Decrease Bad Fats - Limit saturated and trans fats while incorporating unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish [12][13]. - Point 2: Choose Quality Proteins and Carbohydrates - Opt for white meats and plant-based proteins, and prefer whole grains over refined grains to help manage blood sugar and lipid levels [14][15]. - Point 3: Regular Exercise - Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise weekly, along with strength training twice a week to enhance metabolism [15]. - Point 4: Weight Management - Maintain a healthy weight and waist circumference to prevent blood lipid abnormalities [15]. - Point 5: Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol - Quitting smoking and minimizing alcohol intake are crucial steps in managing blood lipid levels [16].
