Mrs. Zhang suffered from nosebleeds several times recently. She didn't take it seriously at first. Later, when she returned to the hospital, she asked the attending physician who took care of her for a long time. The doctor asked her what medicines she had taken recently. She said that she just listened to the radio program and bought fish oil that everyone said was good for her health. The blood test found that Mrs. Zhang not only did not clear the blood and oil, but also had high blood lipids, and the reason for nosebleeds was also because she ate too much fish oil.
Lin Zhiming, vice president of Hanming Christian Hospital, said that many elderly people in central China usually like to listen to radio stations, and often make phone calls to interact with radio hosts. These programs often sell health food. Because the hosts and guests are very friendly, many seniors tend to book many groups once they are booked.
"Blood-clearing oil" bought fish oil to swallow, but found high blood lipids
This lady just heard that eating more fish oil can clear blood oil, and some guests shared that after eating fish oil, the soreness was cured, so she called and ordered Several groups. When I bought it, I didn't ask the doctor if I could take it. Unexpectedly, the blood test found high blood lipids.
Lin Zhiming said that fish oil is known to have a good effect on anti-inflammatory and preventing blood clotting, but in terms of blood lipids, it only has a lowering effect on triglycerides, but it does not have a cholesterol-lowering effect. It is also found that fish oil and anticoagulant drugs that prevent blood clots may interact, which may cause bleeding risks. Therefore, patients with chronic diseases are urged to consult their physicians before purchasing health food.
In radio sales, high doses are often encouraged. Generally, it is recommended to take 500 mg one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the evening, or 1 tablet at 1000 mg per day. However, the industry often secretly hints that the dose can be increased, and two tablets in the morning and evening are recommended for marketing. Although fish oil does not have the effect of lowering cholesterol, it has a good effect of lowering triglycerides. Modern people love to eat sweets and eat a lot, and triglycerides are often too high, so everyone hopes that the lower the triglycerides, the better. it is good.
Low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride are too low, and mucosal repair goes wrong
But low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride are also necessary for the composition and repair of human cell membranes. Low-density lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol to surrounding tissues, while vascular endothelial cells secrete lipase, which releases triglycerides and decomposes them into free fatty acids for use by adipose tissue and muscle cells. Lin Zhiming said that if you eat too much fish oil, the low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride drop too low, the energy required for cell repair is insufficient, the peripheral supply such as the nasal mucosa is insufficient, and the cell membrane is difficult to repair, which leads to nosebleeds.
Consult doctors and pharmacists before purchasing health food. Although low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides are not good if they are too high, they cannot maintain the functioning of the human body if they are too low. When buying fish oil, you should choose a qualified and reputable brand. Before taking it, you should ask your attending physician and pharmacist to know whether there are any drugs that interact with fish oil among your commonly used drugs, and whether they are suitable for taking them. How should it be used? No health hazard will occur.
