To control diet, eat more vegetables, eat less meat, cook with vegetable oil, and control the intake of fatty acids and cholesterol.
Step 2 lose weight
Usually obese people have high blood lipids, and reducing weight by losing weight will relieve symptoms.
Step 3 exercise
I believe everyone knows that life lies in exercise. Regular physical exercise can not only enhance the heart and lung function of human body, but also reduce the level of cholesterol, and exercise can also prevent and treat some diseases.
4. medicine
Hyperlipidemia is a disease, and patients need to take medicine. After consulting relevant doctors, patients should take some drugs to reduce blood lipid regularly, and at the same time cooperate with doctors' treatment to reduce blood lipid.
Step 5 get rid of bad habits
For example, smoking can increase plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels and decrease HDL- cholesterol levels, so quitting smoking is good for blood lipids.
Step 6 stop drinking
Liquor is not good for blood lipids. To reduce the intake of liquor, you can drink some red wine in moderation, but not too much. Anyway, you have to control it.
How to prevent hyperlipidemia
1, restrict high-fat foods
Strictly choose foods with low cholesterol content, such as vegetables, bean products, lean meat and jellyfish. In particular, eating more cellulose-rich vegetables can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. However, we can't limit the intake of high fat unilaterally, because the intake of some essential fatty acids is beneficial to the body.
Reasonable consumption of a diet containing more unsaturated fatty acids can control saturated fatty acids. Various vegetable oils such as peanut oil, soybean oil and rapeseed oil are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, while animal oils such as lard, sheep oil and butter mainly contain saturated fatty acids. All the cholesterol in food comes from animal oils, such as egg yolk, animal viscera, fish eggs and brain. , which contains high cholesterol, should be avoided or used less.
2. Change the way you cook.
Use less oil when cooking, and try to steam, cook and cool the pot. Eat less fried food.
Step 3 limit sweets
Sugar can be converted into endogenous triglycerides in the liver, which increases the concentration of triglycerides in plasma, so the intake of sweets should be limited.
Step 4 lose weight
For people whose weight exceeds the normal standard, they should gradually lose weight under the guidance of a doctor, and it is appropriate to lose 1 ~ 2 kg per month. The diet principle of losing weight is low fat, low sugar and enough protein.
5. Quit smoking and drink less.
Moderate drinking can significantly increase serum high density lipoprotein and reduce low density lipoprotein level. Therefore, moderate drinking can reduce the prevalence of coronary heart disease. Excessive drinking or long-term drinking can stimulate the liver to synthesize more endogenous triglycerides, which will increase the concentration of low-density lipoprotein in the blood and cause hypercholesterolemia. Therefore, middle-aged people had better not drink alcohol. The incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease in smokers are 2 ~ 6 times that of non-smokers, and are directly proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked every day.
6. Drug therapy
Patients with hyperlipidemia who cannot be controlled by the above methods should be treated with drugs. Please consult a professional doctor, and the doctor will make a choice according to the specific cause and condition.
