The doctor pointed out the ‘culprit’ of millions of office workers
Skinny is still fat
Ms. Le Thanh Tu – 34 years old, Hanoi works as an office worker, Ms. Tu’s work is quite busy. Every day she finishes work at 17-18 pm. At home, she was busy with her children. The family dinner is not finished until 9pm. Recently, Ms. Tu feels chest tightness and fatigue.
Tu thought she was post-Covid-19 so she went for a general health check. The doctor conducted tests and discovered that Ms. Tu had elevated liver enzymes and fatty blood. Normally, no one would think that a thin person like her would have fatty blood. Ms. Tu said that it was difficult for her to gain weight, while her colleagues were trying to lose weight, but she was trying to gain weight but was still called a ‘dead body’.
At first, she did not believe that she had hyperlipidemia, but her bad cholesterol and triglycerides increased. Ms. Tu has to use blood lipid-lowering drugs. The cause of blood fat is due to the unhealthy eating habits of Ms. Tu as well as millions of other office workers: often eating boxed lunches, snacking and eating too much dinner, too late.
According to Associate Professor Nguyen Hoai Nam – Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Campus 2, high blood fat is one of the most common diseases among middle-aged people or people with unhealthy diets, especially those with unhealthy diets. are office workers.
Thin people, if they have an unhealthy diet such as drinking alcohol, smoking, eating a lot of animal organs, high in fat, etc., will have a high chance of having high cholesterol. Therefore, thin people should not be subjective, should go for regular health check-ups so that if there is a disease, it should be treated early.
High blood fat can easily cause blockage of blood vessels, slowing down the blood circulation to parts such as fingers and feet. As a result, the patient may experience swelling, pain, and fatigue in the legs or arms.
The patient may feel cold hands and feet, and chest pain, shortness of breath also occur in an unusual way. After that, the attacks appeared more often and had a longer duration, from a few minutes to several tens of minutes. The patient’s body is always in a state of fatigue, loss of appetite, dizziness or signs of gastrointestinal disorders.
Unhealthy eating of office workers increases blood fat.
When the lipid components in the blood are disturbed, excess cholesterol will be deposited in the vessel wall, forming atheroma, narrowing or clogging blood vessels, leading to increased peripheral resistance, causing hypertension.
Associate Professor Nam believes that hypertension and dyslipidemia in young people, including office workers, are two “culprits” that silently cause strokes and heart attacks.
To treat fatty blood disease, according to Assoc. Nam, first of all, it is necessary to adjust the diet and activities. In some cases, doctors will consider using drugs to prevent other cardiovascular diseases.
