Can you get lipids from eating food?

That's pretty much the only way you can get lipids.  Lipids are fats, and the primary source of fat for most people is through their diet.  There may be other ways to get lipids, but I can't imagine them at the moment.

that's a lot to answer so i'm not putting all the long details here. go to this link: http://www.answers.com/lipids .\n\nthat site is actually really helpful when you need to find out anything.

There are lots of enzymes to modify fatty acids.This very moment the fatty acids that you have eaten are being modified in various parts ,in various nooks and corners of your body to suit your requirements, to merge into your characteristic lipid profile.The much hated fats can often be much needed fats.They serve so many things.

I forgot the names, but the general idea is that animal fat is much more complex than vegetable fat.  That means that animal fat is much harder to break down and for the most part, your body makes enough of this animal fat already.  When it gets additional it all goes into storage, for example; when you take in cholesterol your body makes most of what it needs for this fat and so the excess gets stuck to the arterial walls.\n\nHDL/LDL high density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins.  HDLs usually come from animal fat while LDLs usually come from vegetable fat. When the LDLs go through the system they can actually help eliminate excess fats and help recycle them or deliver them for excretion.  Some examples of these LDLs are omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids which will actually help you lose fat.\n\nFor most diets, the more animal fat you cut out, the healthier you're gonna be.\n\nI liked this question because it helped me realize how much I've forgotten from my nutrition classes.

list of low cholesterol foods should contain healthy foods such as:\n- fruits and vegetables,\n- fish, lean meats (also game),\n- dry beans,\n- whole grains,\n- low-fat or skim milk and cheese.\nFoods that have less salt and fat are recommended. It also helps to eat all fatty foods in moderation. \n\nLimit foods high in cholesterol, such as:\n\nliver and other organ meats \negg yolks \nfull-fat dairy products (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 2001a; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2002m). \n\nWhen preparing foods, the following cooking methods tend to produce lower saturated fat levels:\n\nbake \nbroil \nmicrowave \npoach \ngrill \nroast (when roasting, place meats on a rack so fat can drip away) \nlightly stir-fry or sauté in cooking spray, small amounts of vegetable oil, or reduced sodium chicken broth

Garlic is probably the best natural way of lowering your cholesterol, you can swallow a whole tooth of garlic every day in the morning, theres no taste, since you are taking it as a pill, but if that doesnt move you, then half of a grapefruit before breakfast will help you break down some of the fast you may intake during the day.

Lipids are always fats. There are animal fats and vegetable fats. Within those two groups, there are also "saturated" fats and "unsaturated" fats ... that only means differences in the number of hydrogen atoms that are part of the fat molecule. Lipids have the highest calorie rating of any of the foods for the same size portion. They are an "energy-dense" food. The right kinds of fats are "essential" and MUST be eaten every day! A blanket condemnation of "fat" is seriously wrong. \n\nThere are good, essential, fats. These are not man-made (like trans-fats or hydrogenated fats). The best fats are monosaturated fats like cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, medium chain fatty acids like organic extra-virgin coconut oil (yes, it's a saturated fat ... and in this case, that's OK), the fat from only grass-fed, free-range animals, organic hemp oil, hemp seeds, flax oil, flax seeds, nuts and nut oils.\n\nFat helps us feel "satisfied", and in the end, we may eat fewer calories; it also "slows down" the insulin "hit" that too many carbs can initiate or too high-glycemic carbs can produce (i.e. stay away from sugary foods).\n\nCarbohydrates are necessary for life. If you do not eat them, then expensive protein is broken down to "make" carbs! Your brain needs good carbs for fuel. The best carbs for diabetics are veggies. The less sweet (lower "glycemic" ones) are best, but you can have a few sweet peas or corn or sweet potatoes etc, (which are more concentrated, higher glycemic types) as long as there are not lots (maybe 1/2 cup max) and they are eaten with a little fat or protein. Fruit is healthy, but should always be a second choice to vegetables. Fruits should also be ranked according to sweetness. Tomatoes and avocados are fruits, and these are good choices, as are lemons, limes etc. Apples have chromium in their skin, and that helps diabetics. All sugars are carbs, and processed sugars and honey etc are to be largely avoided. Artificial sweeteners stimulate insulin and there is NO benefit to using them ... in fact, there are many reasons NOT to use them.\n\nThere are combo foods. Milk is one of them. It is both a carb (milk sugars) and protein food. It's fairly balanced.\n\nProtein is best limited to protect kidney health, and about 6 oz. of protein a day will be adequate for most people. Organic, free-range, Omega-3 eggs are a very good protein source, and there is no longer a tight restriction about numbers of eggs to eat per week. Fish from clean waters is another good choice. Cheese, nuts and for some people, soy are other options, as are free-range, grass fed animals.\n\nAmpalaya (bitter melon) found in Asian markets, bilberries and cinnamon, and many other foods have been found to be specifically beneficial for diabetics. If you use these, make sure you are taking more frequent blood sugar readings so you know how responsive your body is to their blood-sugar lowering capabilities. \n\nIt is better to eat 6 smaller meals, fairly evenly spaced through the day onward to a bedtime snack, than to eat just 3 meals a day. I hope this helped. Make sure you are well-hydrated, only use water!\n\nTo learn more about possibly ameliorating or even reversing diabetes, read www.watercure.com   www.phmiracleliving.com  \n\nBest to all ...

fat is part of a balanced diet, and most foods you eat will at least contain some fat. The trick is not to go overboard and eat thing like chocolate and McDonalds which are really nothing but fat.

1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

Cholesterol and fat are completely independent of each other.  For example, most shrimp is fat free.  However it is loaded with cholesterol.  It just happens to be that most cholesterol laden foods are also high in fat, but foods can be high in cholesterol or fat independently and of themselves.\n\nOur body generates all of the cholesterol we need.  It is not necessary to consume any cholesterol.  Our body has the ability to convert fat into cholesterol.  Saturated fat  is likely to produce LDL, and the healthy fats such as poly and mono would be more likely to stimulate the production of HDL.  As for consuming cholesterol, the generally accepted shcool of thought is that high cholesterol foods containing large amounts of saturated fat are likely to increase LDL cholesterol.  Where as foods containing cholesterol that are low in saturated fat  are likely not increase LDL, and quite possible increase HDL if these cholesterol containing foods contain heathy fats such as those found in many sea food products.  However, it is important to keep in mind that what our bodies do with cholesterol that we consume will vary widely from person to person.  Genetics and predisposition play a significant role in our cholesterol levels.  My wife and I both have very low fat diets.  However, she requires statins to keep cholesterol at healthy levels.  Heredity is th ekey factor here.  Both of her parents, her siblings, and grandparents on mothers side all had high cholesterol.  I hope this was helpful.

helpful foods...go to local food store, look for flaxseed (Hodgson Mills) that is ground. 1 tablespoon in cereal, yogurt etc.. per day.  REFRIGERATE after opening. Terrific as a cholesterol lowering, terrific for skin and is also an excellent laxative.  Garlic is also good.

You could eat what ever you want but you will not lose weight and there are other factors to worry about such as high cholestrol. So I quess you really can eat what ever you want but, you can afford to have more calories in your diet vs. a person who doesn't work out.\nI still think even though you work out you should still try to make healthy choices.

nope - they can be of total normal weight. High Cholesterol has two major reasons : What you eat and what you inherited, what is in your genes. \n\nOnce major source of Cholesterol is actually not what you eat but it is the body itself, it produces Cholesterol. There are some foods out there which trigger that production (saturated fats), others which absorb and remove it (fibers) and foods which add or not cholesterol. \n\nThere is lots of advice out there in books, on the web but it seems from a dietary standpoint the best is to\n1. Add a lot of fiber to your diet (Oatmeal bran, Psyllium, eat veggies, fruit....)\nFibers can absorb Cholesterol in the intestines and transport it out before it is going into the bloodstream. \n\n2. Change the diet to eat fish instead of meat. The different types of fat in fish improve the ratio of good cholesterol to bad in a posiitive way. Many say tha this ratio is more important than the total value. \n\n3. Reduce animal products  in your diet, reduce saturated fats (cream, whole milk, red meat, fat meat).  \n\n4. Then there are foods which have high cholesterol, avoid those: Eggs, shrimp, mussels, crab, lobster...\n\n5. And finally - work out regularly. \n\nAnd furthermore - there have been publications in the meantime about the fact that it is not necessarily High cholesterol levels what clogs arteries. It is rather an inflammation on the arterial inner walls and because of that cholesterol settles down there. Not sure how correct those studies are. \n\nHowever - the body needs some cholesterol and therefore it is able to produce it. \nMy boyfriend went on a choelsterol free diet (he even substituted all fish and meats with soy products). At  first the C- levels dropped and then they started rising again. \n\nAnd also interesting - once he added fish in his diet at least the ratio of good to bad cholesterol improved a lot. \n\nAnd as a last workd - if it is possible for you to drop your weight and your cholesterol with natural means then try by all means. The pills to treat it are not just expensive but also can have side effects and need to be taken a whole life long.

Foods rich in saturated fats such as butter, cheese, coconut oil, and cream. Use oils such as olive, corn, safflower, and Soya. Green vegetables, fruits, cereals, skimmed milk, skim milk yoghurt should be the main items of your diet. Eating oat bran, Soya beans and grapefruit in diet reduces high blood cholesterol. Fish and chicken with out skin is not harmful. Chocolates should be avoided.  Having only salad for lunch is not good. It is good to include fresh salad of tomato, cucumber, carrot, radish, and cabbage along with your both meals. In addition cooked vegetables also should be included. Among fruits try to avoid avocado, pear, banana, mango, chickoo, and custard apple. To get the idea of 1800kcal refer my article on sample menu for diabetic diet. Avoid organ meats, prawns, lobsters, whole milk, ghee, butter and egg yolk. Use only 20 ml of vegetable oils like olive or safflower, sunflower oil per day for cooking. \nOnion, garlic, fenugreek seeds are some of the food items which help to reduce the cholesterol level. High fat content foods, organ meats, prawns, oysters, saturated fat etc will increase the cholesterol.
