As life expectancy increases, it means that we will have to live with many chronic health problems such as cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. and must take drugs to control these conditions. However, when the disease is stable or in good progress, some drugs will be considered to be discontinued to minimize “multi-drug” and adverse interactions. The scientists found that, among more than 29,000 adults aged 65 and older, who stopped taking cholesterol-lowering medications (while maintaining other medications), had an increased risk of having a cardiovascular emergency. and death. “The results of this study suggest that cutting back on statins may not be the optimal way,” said lead author Federico Rea, of the University of Milan. The patients in the study were taking a statin (such as lipitor) along with blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and diabetes medications from October 1, 2013 to January 31, 2015, and were followed up until January 31, 2015. ends June 30, 2018. Compared with those who continued to take statins, patients who stopped taking them were 24% more likely to need hospital care for heart failure, 14% more likely to have certain other heart conditions, and more likely to die. mortality from any cause is higher than 15%. They were also 12% more likely to need emergency treatment. Because the benefits of statins outweigh the risks in terms of cardiovascular protection, physicians should carefully consider discontinuing their use in elderly patients, the researchers said. Often doctors and patients want to cut off certain medications in the elderly, to avoid having to take multiple medications at once, reduce drug burden, and limit drug interactions… However, this is not always the case. is a safe choice. When deciding to discontinue medication, the physician should carefully consider the evidence based on it. Dr. Benjamin Hirsh, Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital said. The American Heart Association recommends starting statins before age 75 for patients who need it, and continuing it in patients over 75 years of age who can tolerate it. This study further reinforces the benefit of continued statin treatment in older adults, even among those taking multiple other medications. Dr. Gregg Fonarow, University of California said.

Gallbladder polyps found in the community range from 0.03 to 9% of the population. Fortunately, more than 92% of polyps are benign. Even so, there is still an 8% risk of developing gallbladder cancer that is difficult to treat. Benign gallbladder polyps account for about 92% of cases, including 2 types: true tumors such as adenomas, myomas, lipomas…; pseudotumor such as cholesterol tumor, adenomyoma, inflammatory pseudotumor… Malignant gallbladder polyp accounts for about 8%, including adenocarcinoma, melanoma, cancer metastasis… The danger elements There are many factors that are thought to be related to the formation of gallbladder polyps such as: poor liver function, blood sugar levels, high blood fat, obesity, irregular eating habits, hepatitis virus infection. .. But in fact, there is no research to confirm the exact cause of gallbladder polyp formation. Food has been implicated in gallbladder polyp formation. The disease is mostly benign, but it tends to increase due to inappropriate living and eating habits. There are many favorable factors for the formation of gallbladder polyps such as poor hepatobiliary function, blood sugar levels, high blood fat levels, obesity, hepatitis virus infection, eating habits high in fat, fat, etc. increase the amount of cholesterol in the body. For people with gallbladder polyps, the diet must be frugal, similar to those with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, that is, to reduce bad cholesterol in the blood. Gallbladder polyps are a fairly common disease that can appear at any age, but mainly affects adults. Recognizing signs Clinical signs are often vague, rarely aggressive, only when polyps cause secretion disorders, bile secretion in the gallbladder lumen or gallbladder stones or accompanying cholecystitis. At that time, the patient showed mild pain in the right lower quadrant or epigastrium about 80%, pain often appeared after eating; abdominal bloating, indigestion, nausea and vomiting may occur. The patient usually has no fever and no signs of biliary obstruction. Abdominal examination may show mild pain when pressing the right lower quadrant, most of which do not detect abnormal signs. Examine other organs for comorbidities. Abdominal ultrasound is useful for screening for gallbladder diseases, including gallbladder polyps. Ultrasound allows to identify polyps, location, size and shape of polyps… to help monitor the progress for appropriate treatment. The accurate diagnosis rate of ultrasound for gallbladder polyps is over 90%. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is indicated in cases of large polyps with risk of malignancy. Gallbladder polyps are cancerous? Usually, 92% of gallbladder polyps are benign (non-cancerous) in nature, so patients do not need surgical intervention to remove the gallbladder. Small polyps less than 1cm (or less than 1.5cm) can only need regular monitoring every 3-6 months without surgery to remove the gallbladder. Polyps larger than 1cm have the potential to progress to cancer, especially those larger than 1.5cm, so cholecystectomy may be recommended to prevent gallbladder cancer growth. According to studies, gallbladder polyps, if identified on ultrasound, are less than 10mm in size, most of which are benign. In addition, the images suggest malignancy when the polyp has spreading legs, irregular shape, and rapid growth. At that time, surgical intervention is indicated to remove the gallbladder. Doctor’s advice Because no probe can accurately diagnose the nature of gallbladder polyps without surgical intervention, the treatment regimen for gallbladder polyps is the same as when the patient is suspected of having gallbladder polyps detected by ultrasound. If there are no symptoms such as pain, fever, etc., you should check again after 6 months or 1 year to confirm. If after that time there is no picture of the polyp, then no intervention is necessary. In case the polyp image is clear, it is necessary to periodically follow up with ultrasound every 6 months if the tumor is larger than 10mm, or there are malignancies detected by blood tests, other investigations or the polyp has had clinical manifestations. such as recurrent fever and pain, early surgery is indicated. Today, with the development of laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a less invasive surgery, less pain and patients recover quickly, with few complications.

Excess fat not only makes women feel inferior in their body, can not wear their favorite clothes, but also can cause obesity, increase blood pressure, blood fat, … but exercise does not bring results too quickly. need long-term persistence that makes people quickly discouraged.

On the association of mothers with milk and belly fat melted cream, many people spread their ears together as a means of salvation for mothers with postpartum bleeding. Ms. Nguyen Hoang Lan – Hanoi said that after giving birth, her second round child was still sagging, not as slim as before, so Lan tried to find products to help melt belly fat. Abdominal fat allergy photo. A bottle of belly fat melted Co B. brand was bought by Mrs. Lan for 375 thousand dong. According to the advertisement, when applying the fat-melt cream, it is advisable to take more film wrapped tightly to make the cream work. However, after 4.5 minutes of application, Ms. Lan had to take a shower quickly because of burning burns all over her stomach. The next day, the skin on the abdomen is constantly itchy, with blisters. Lan went to see a dermatologist and said she had an allergy to lipolytic cream. Or like Ms. Thuy Dung – Nam Dinh also uses two or three bottles of belly fat melt cream to get in shape. However, Ms. Dung said that after more than a year of using belly fat melt cream, she found that her belly was still stable at 82 cm. Has the fat-melting effect?

With severe allergies, there will be blistering, blistering, watering, and allergic pimples causing dermatitis. There have been many cases of atopic dermatitis due to lipolytic cream, long-term treatment is over. Dr. Tran Ngoc Anh – Lecturer of the Department of Dermatology, Pham Ngoc Thach Medical University, Ho Chi Minh City, said that a part of belly fat-soluble cream also works on fat cells to make fat “melt”. It is hydrolyzed through sweat or some ingredients that work to firm the fat to create a slimmer waist for the user. However, Dr. Anh said that it depends entirely on the composition of the cream.

If women feel secure to apply fat-soluble cream without changing the diet combined with exercise, the ability to dissolve fat will be extremely low, the fat layer still thickens in proportion to each person’s eating needs. In addition, Dr. Anh also recommends that the origin of the product is also very important if you buy floating products on the market, the fat melt has not been found to be allergic due to the unknown origin of the cream. To sustainably lose fat, Dr. Anh said, in addition to the intervention procedures, the person needs to maintain a reasonable diet, maintain an exercise regimen, be active about 150 minutes / week.

To eat the best eggs, nutritionists recommend adults should eat only 3-4 eggs a week. People with high blood pressure and high cholesterol should only eat 2-3 eggs a week.

Eat boiled eggs overnight Boiled eggs are easy to eat by many people, rich in nutrients, but when left boiled for too long, it can be harmful to body health. Contrary to popular belief, hard-boiled eggs are no safer than raw eggs. In fact, boiled eggs are more susceptible to bacterial contamination, as cooking damages the protective film on the eggshell. Both raw and cooked eggs should be refrigerated. Therefore, if you keep the boiled eggs in the refrigerator, you can eat them the next day. If left at room temperature, absolutely should not eat more. Wash eggs several days before preparing them Many families have a habit of rinsing the eggshell, then storing eggs in the refrigerator for many days without knowing this is a wrong way. On the raw egg shell there is a small coating that makes the egg shiny. This membrane works to prevent dirt, bacteria in the outside environment from entering the egg’s lumen. Washing the eggs can break this membrane and cause bacteria from the eggshell to enter, making it dangerous to eat. The best practice is to just wipe or wash the eggs right before preparing them.

Cholesterol gives cell membranes strength and flexibility, and plays a vital role in the production of hormones, vitamin D, and fat digestion. Therefore, it can be said that cholesterol plays an important role in almost all bodily activities. Illustration In fact, there are two main types of cholesterol: low density lipoprotein (LDL – bad cholesterol) and high density lipoprotein (HDL – good cholesterol). When LDL levels rise, it can cause plaque buildup in the arteries, leading to heart disease and stroke. Conversely, high levels of HDL in the blood help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, helping to excrete excess cholesterol from the body. Since cholesterol does not interact well with the blood, it is transported by low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density (HDL) particles. The ideal cholesterol threshold for most adults is total cholesterol below 200 mg / dL, LDL below 100 mg / dL and HDL above 60 mg / dL. Illustration Normally, the liver makes all the cholesterol the body needs to function. However, the body can also absorb cholesterol through the consumption of animal products. When you consume more cholesterol from animals, your body compensates for it by lowering the amount of cholesterol naturally. Conversely, when the cholesterol supplied by the diet is low, the body will increase its natural cholesterol production to ensure that there is always an adequate amount of this important substance. In fact, cholesterol in the body comes from food sources only about 20%, the rest is produced by the liver. Besides, cholesterol in the diet also has a partial impact on the ratio of LDL and HDL in the body. LDL index increases, HDL index drops low, alarming the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, eating cholesterol-rich foods will significantly increase cholesterol levels in the body is a complete misconception. About 80% of cholesterol in the body is produced in the liver, not from food that we tolerate on a daily basis. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to have high cholesterol in their blood. However, thin people can still have high cholesterol. Thin people also need to worry about increased blood cholesterol. Illustration In addition, people with unhealthy lifestyles, very sedentary, with some genetic disorders, the elderly … may also be at risk of hypercholesterolemia in the blood. Create a regular and healthy living routine for yourself. It is important to understand cholesterol in order to have the right diet. In fact, cholesterol is not quite a harmful substance, it is also a natural substance that is essential for health.

Illustration According to Medizzy, health experts believe that consuming such a large number of eggs could cause severe digestive disruption leading to “impaired heart function” because the yolk is rich in cholesterol. The site also highlighted a study that found that consuming eggs daily can increase the risk of death in humans 7%. Professor Yigu Zhang from Zhejiang University, China, said: “Our study recommends eating egg whites and other alternative protein sources to increase the health and longevity of the cardiovascular system. “Increased mortality is largely affected by cholesterol”. Professor Riyaz Patel, a cardiologist at University College London, added: “Most people should eat a moderate amount of eggs in their diet, unless they are advised not to eat for a reason. specific health “. Research by the Feinberg School of Medicine found that consuming 300mg of cholesterol per day was 17% more likely to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and the risk of death by up to 18%. Most researchers believe that cholesterol from any source has the potential to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The way eggs are processed can affect the nutritional profile. Low-time and low-temperature cooking methods cause less cholesterol oxidation and retain most nutrients.

For this reason, boiled and poached eggs are the healthiest way to eat. This method of processing also doesn’t add any unnecessary calories.

Processing eggs makes it easier to digest certain nutrients

Cooking eggs makes this food safe and makes it easier for you to digest the nutrients inside them. In fact, one study found that the human body can use 91% of the protein in cooked eggs, compared with 51% in raw eggs.

Digestibility changes occur because heat leads to structural changes in the protein of the egg.

Eggs are also a good source of biotin, which is used in the metabolism of fats and sugars.

In raw eggs, a protein in the white called avidin binds with biotin, preventing your body from using biotin.

However, when an egg is cooked, heat causes the structural changes of avidin, making it less effective at binding with biotin. This makes biotin easier to absorb.

Cooking at high heat can spoil other nutrients

While cooking eggs makes some nutrients easier to digest, there is a risk of destroying others.

Cooking most foods will deplete some of the nutrients, especially at high temperatures, over long periods of time.

One study found that cooking eggs reduced vitamin A content (17-20%), significantly reducing the amount of antioxidants (6-18%).

Overall, shorter cooking times (even at high temperatures) have been shown to retain more nutrients.

When cooked for 40 minutes (baking), eggs can lose up to 61% of their vitamin D intake, compared with 18% when fried or boiled for less time.

However, even when cooked reduces these nutrients, eggs are still a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants.

Cooking at high temperatures oxidizes the cholesterol in the eggs

One large egg contains about 212 mg of cholesterol, 71% of the recommended amount of 300 mg per day.

When eggs are cooked at high temperatures, the cholesterol in the eggs can be oxidized and form compounds called oxysterol. This is a concern for some, as oxidized cholesterol and oxysterol in the blood are linked to an increased risk of heart disease.

Tips to cook eggs with health benefits:

1. Choose a low calorie cooking method

If you’re trying to cut calories, choose boiled eggs or poached eggs.

These cooking methods do not add any fat calories, so the meal will be lower in calories than an omelet.

1. Combine with vegetables

This is a great opportunity to increase vegetable intake and add fiber and vitamins to your diet.

1. Fry in oil that is stable at high temperatures

The best oils for cooking are those that remain stable at high temperatures and are not susceptible to oxidation to form harmful free radicals.

Examples of good options include avocado and sunflower oils. If using extra virgin olive or coconut oil, it’s best to cook at a lower temperature than the last time.

1. Choose the most nutritious eggs possible

Several factors, including the method of farming and the diet of the chicken, can affect the nutritional quality of the eggs.

In general, eggs from hens raised in pasture and organic eggs have a higher nutritional value than eggs from industrial hens.

1. Don’t overcook

The longer you cook the eggs and the higher the temperature, the more nutrients you lose. This habit can also increase the amount of oxidized cholesterol in the eggs.
