People with hyperlipidemia can consume beef in moderation, but not in excess. This is because beef contains a relatively high amount of saturated fatty acids. Fatty acids can be divided into saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids can lead to increased cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood, subsequently causing the narrowing of arterial lumens, forming arteriosclerosis, and increasing the risk of coronary heart disease. Therefore, due to the high content of saturated fatty acids in beef, its consumption should be limited and not excessive.
