How to treat high blood lipids

Now that living standards have improved, there are more and more patients with hypertension and high blood lipids. Patients with high blood lipids usually do not have any symptoms. Many patients with high blood lipids are only discovered during physical examinations, so everyone must develop a good habit of regular physical examinations, preferably once a year. Once you have high blood lipids, treatment is the key. Many patients with high blood lipids use drugs such as statins.

Drugs like statins only play the role of lowering blood lipids for hyperlipidemia, that is to say, they improve the symptoms of hyperlipidemia, but only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine treats the root cause and treats hyperlipidemia from the root. Traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in treating hyperlipidemia. The following is a detailed introduction to the treatment of high blood lipids.

After discovering high blood lipids, the first thing to do is to adjust your diet and improve your lifestyle, and then, on this basis, proceed with drug treatment. This includes:

① Limit high-fat foods: strictly choose foods with low cholesterol content, such as vegetables, soy products, lean meat, jellyfish, etc., especially eating more vegetables rich in fiber, which can reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine.

② Limit sweets

③ Lose weight: For those whose weight exceeds the normal standard, they should gradually lose weight under the guidance of a doctor, with a monthly weight loss of 1-2 kg being appropriate.

Increase physical activity and exercise

⑤ Quit smoking and drink less: Moderate drinking can significantly increase the high-density lipoprotein in serum and reduce the level of low-density lipoprotein. Therefore, moderate drinking can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease.

⑥ Avoid excessive tension: Emotional tension and excessive excitement can cause increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.

The simplest way to treat hyperlipidemia in traditional Chinese medicine is to drink winter melon juice between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning when the liver meridian is most active, which can lower blood lipids. You can also add raw eggplant to vinegar and mix it with dinner to solve the problem of high blood lipids.

To put it simply, high blood lipids mean thick blood, which is what ordinary people usually call thick blood. Thick blood can be diluted by drinking appropriate amounts of water. There are also some rules for drinking water. Drinking too much will increase the burden on your kidneys. Normally, you can drink 1,500 ml of water a day. There are also requirements for the time to drink water. Patients with high blood lipids should drink a glass of water first thing in the morning and before going to bed at night.
