What is a Triglyceride?

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

One of the easiest things I do in my conveyance is lower triglycerides and I do this through diet and diet alone. It is alone if somebody does not acquire to what I acquaint them to do that I acquire to resort to the use of medication. But what actually is a triglyceride and how do I lower this affair so easily? Well, let me acquaint you.

A triglyceride, as the name suggests, has three triglyceride. Get it? Tri agency three and the chat glyceride follows, so a tri- glyceride has three triglycerides. Triglyceride is a adorned way of adage fat. So a triglyceride is three fats ashore together. If your doc orders a lipid contour the triglyceride bulk will be there as well. If your triglyceride account is top it agency the fats in your claret are high.

Now bethink ‘a priori’ acumen it goes something like this; if your triglycerides, or fats in the claret are high, it acquire to be because you are bistro too abundant fat. Right? Well, actually, that is incorrect and this acumen is asleep wrong, with accent on the dead. Because that is actually breadth you will wind up if you acquire that. And, yes, by the way, a lot of docs still acquaint their patients to alpha a low fat diet if their triglycerides are elevated; AND THIS DOES NOT WORK, NEVER, EVER, EVER!!!

Are you accessible for this one, the acumen the triglycerides drag in the bloodstream is because of the burning of carbs. So if you go and alpha a low fat, low cholesterol diet, again, you will be bistro added carbs. We abstruse in the endure affiliate this sets up the physique to achieve added cholesterol, but it aswell allows the physique to achieve added triglycerides as well, That’s right, may I apprehend addition abundant big Opps!!

So putting all this together, bistro added accomplished grains and fruits and beneath cholesterol will advice to drag both the cholesterol and triglyceride numbers in the bloodstream, actually the adverse of what we are aggravating to accomplish. But actually how does the burning of carbs drag the triglyceride number? Let us yield a look.

When we eat carbs they are torn down into sugars. Assumption what the starting point for the authoritative of a triglyceride is? Hmmm? Yup, you got it, it is sugar. So our bodies achieve triglycerides from amoroso and our bodies achieve cholesterol from sugar. OK, let us anticipate about this; the actual things that do not accommodate any fat or cholesterol, are the actual things our physique uses to achieve fat and cholesterol.

By bistro added accomplished grains (carbs) and fruits (carbs), we are accouterment the physique with the actual things it needs to achieve added fat and cholesterol. Yes, I am repeating myself a lot, but I cannot over accent how alarming it is to chase a low fat, low cholesterol diet as able-bodied as bistro added accomplished grains and fruits. This is actually what the physique needs to achieve all the bad stuff.

It is so arresting for me to see a accommodating who tells me they are on a low fat, low cholesterol diet and that they acquire been on it for years. They appear in and acquaint me that admitting the actuality they are bistro healthy, they still charge to yield meds and are accepting a difficult time accident weight. OF COURSE THEY ARE! What they are about accomplishing is giving the physique aggregate it needs to achieve all the bad things they are aggravating to lower. But if I advance to explain this to them they consistently go aback to the old “Well, all my added doctors afore told me to get on a low fat, low cholesterol diet, so I did; and now you are cogent me that’s wrong, if all the added docs say it’s right? What makes you so abundant smarter.”

Of course, during this barter with my patients, I am consistently cerebration that, no, I’m not abundant smarter. Actually, I feel like an idiot for not addition this out sooner. But what does that say about the majority of physicians who are still cogent their patients to alpha low fat, low cholesterol diets. In fact, just a few account ago (I am cogent this adventure to you amid seeing my patients), I accustomed a advising address from a cardiologist who recommended to a accommodating of abundance to alpha a low fat, low cholesterol diet. Yes, actual frustrating.

Another absorbing ancillary agenda is that if patients are told to alpha low fat, low cholesterol diets, a lot of of you do. But assumption what? A lot of docs do not believe you if you acquaint them you acquire been on a low fat, low cholesterol diet. You apperceive why? Because if the all-inclusive majority of you go for your echo labs in three to four months, the lipid contour has alone afflicted marginally, if at all. And a lot of the lab letters appear aback worse.

So you go in to see your physician for the chase up appointment to altercate your latest labs and if you acquaint the doc you acquire been on their assigned diet, you get the look. You know, the look. From aloft the glasses, which I acquisition obnoxious, and with that arrogant accent you apprehend “Sure you acquire been on the diet.”

But assumption what, you were on the diet. I apperceive it, you apperceive it, but your doc thinks you are lying to them. You apperceive why they anticipate you are lying? Because abounding times the numbers are worse, not better, and aback the doc believes, just actually believes, low fat, low cholesterol is the way to go; there is no way your numbers could acquire gotten worse if you were on the diet. But that is actually why your numbers got worse in the aboriginal place: BECAUSE YOU WERE ON THEIR LOW FAT, LOW CHOLESTEROL DIET AND THEY JUST DON’T GET IT!!!!

Why? I told you why; because doctors are not accomplished to absolutely think, absolutely absolutely anticipate about things in medical school. We are accomplished aboriginal on in medical academy just to acquire from the medical association that what they say is true. So that is why it took me so continued to deathwatch up and that is why, unfortunately, a lot of docs are still apprenticed of this simple truth. Especially for the anew indoctrinated graduates from medical academy and even added so, for the Chiefs and Heads of Departments in medical schools and hospitals, who all charge to change their way of thinking. Try to get through to those blubbery craniums. Unfortunately, it is not traveling to appear anytime soon. But these are the docs we all attending up to for answers; and if they do not know, and worse, if they do not apprehend they do not know, we are all in trouble. Can you see the problem?

All right, I’m accepting myself all formed up; let us get aback to the triglyceride. So triglyceride assembly starts with sugar. I mentioned in affiliate two something alleged glycolysis. This is breadth the assembly of cholesterol begins, but fat assembly can alpha actuality too. The amoroso atom is adapted and out comes this affair alleged pyruvate, which is adapted afresh and we get appropriate aback to acceptable ole acetyl Co A.

Acetyl Co A, delay a minute, was that not the affair that cholesterol was acquired from. You got it. So every time you eat amoroso (carbs) the amoroso will be adapted to acetyl Co A and now you are able-bodied on your way to authoritative added fat and cholesterol. Congratulations. Now your doc can put you on meds and the biologic companies can pay for their Leer jets.

So now some of you may be wondering, well, hey, “What happens if I eat fat?” Abundant question, let’s see.

Fat assimilation occurs in the baby intestine. If fat is torn down it is torn down into its assorted components. Now this adapted fat will broadcast into your abdominal beef and will be adapted into substances accepted as chylomicrons. I apperceive my readers who acquire taken analysis will apprehend a alarm ringing. These new fat things will access a circulatory arrangement accepted as the lymph.

As a ancillary note, we acquire two circulatory systems, a bankrupt one and an accessible one. The bankrupt one you apperceive as your arteries, capillaries and veins, the accessible circulatory arrangement is referred to as lymph. This is the blanched adulterated being you see if you just almost scrape your easily or knees.

These chylomicrons, which are absolutely just adapted fat, now broadcast into an breadth alleged the thoracic aqueduct and abandoned into veins, appropriately acceptable allotment of the approved circulatory arrangement by entering the bloodstream. These chylomicrons now broadcast into fat cells, alarmist beef and just about every corpuscle of the body. Whether these are stored or acclimated for ammunition depends aloft whether carbohydrates are present. In the attendance of carbohydrates the chylomicrons will be stored. If there exists a low bulk of carbs in the diet the fats will be acclimated for energy.

Yes, that is correct, our bodies do use fat for fuel. But we will alone use fat for ammunition if there is no carbohydrate lying around. Fats are appealing tricky, not as aboveboard as cholesterol. That is because sometimes fats can be acclimated to achieve cholesterol, too. But this alone happens if carbs are present. If one is afterward a diet with added fat and cholesterol (notice I did not use the term, high) and low carbs (notice I did not say no carbs), the physique will use fat for fuel, cholesterol will be adapted to actual advantageous substances and there will be no added carbs about to achieve any added fat or cholesterol, as declared above.

There is this allegory which has been broadcast that the physique prefers to use amoroso for energy. This is not true. Guyton’s Textbook of Medical Physiology states, “Almost all the accustomed activity requirements of the physique can be provided by blaze of the transported chargeless blubbery acerbic after application any carbohydrate or protein.” What this account agency is that the physique can use chargeless blubbery acids, that is, a individual triglyceride, for fuel. It is aswell broadly claimed that our academician beef adopt carbs for fuel. Again, this is wrong. Our accuracy adopt to use molecules alleged ketone bodies for its activity source. Interestingly enough, the byproduct of chargeless blubbery acerbic breakdown is ketone bodies.

So let us put this all together. If we eat fat it is transformed, appealing bound I ability add, to addition fat, which finds its way into our cells. It will be stored or acclimated for fuel, all depending on the attendance of carbs. Acquire a top carb attendance and not alone will the fat be stored, but we will achieve cholesterol out of it as well. Low carb attendance agency the fat will be acclimated for fuel, appropriately abrogation actual little for accumulator or cholesterol production. So again, low fat, low cholesterol dieting is NOT the way to go. Unless, of course, you wish to accretion weight and achieve added cholesterol and get fat, acquire a affection attack, or advance blazon 2 diabetes. Yeah, I didn’t anticipate so.

A allegory is a anchored way of searching at the apple which cannot be destroyed because, looked at absolute the myth, all affirmation supports that allegory -Edward de Bono
