Things to note for patients with high blood lipids in life

Hyperlipidemia is a very common condition, mainly affecting middle-aged and elderly people. If the condition is not controlled in time, it will develop into atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease, endangering the patient's life. There are many reasons for high blood lipids. Disease, improper diet and genetics will increase the chance of disease, which requires our attention. So, what should patients with high blood lipids pay attention to in their daily life?

Any disease can be prevented. We can plan our diet scientifically, eat more vegetables containing fiber, control the intake of foods high in cholesterol, and proper exercise can also play a good role. Doing these can greatly reduce the chance of hyperlipidemia.

What should patients with high blood lipids pay attention to in life? Reasonable diet and lifestyle are of great significance in preventing high blood lipids. For patients with a genetic tendency to hyperlipidemia, drug treatment has no obvious improvement. The main way to improve the condition is to adjust the dietary structure. Try not to eat or eat less foods high in cholesterol, such as animal offal, brain, bone marrow, fish roe, shellfish, squid, eel, etc. Eat high-fiber vegetables, fruits and melons regularly. They contain large amounts of plant sterols which can inhibit cholesterol absorption and play an anti-atherosclerotic role. Drinking moderate or small amounts of alcohol can also lower cholesterol, 45 ml of white wine, 90 ml of dry red wine, or 188 ml of beer per day. For patients who already have hyperlipidemia, on the one hand they should control their diet, and on the other hand they should do moderate exercise such as jogging. Through exercise, the lipase activity in the fat increases and blood lipids decrease accordingly. Some patients have normal blood lipids but have hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. They also need to control their diet, actively exercise, and cooperate with drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Although lowering cholesterol can usually be achieved through proper diet, exercise, and medication, these methods sometimes have no therapeutic effect on some patients with stubborn, familial hyperlipidemia. Recently, a whole blood direct lipid adsorption system has emerged in medicine, which uses a fully enclosed disposable blood circuit tube and autologous blood purification and transfusion to directly remove excess harmful blood lipids from the blood. It can also be used to prevent various complications caused by hyperlipidemia, and to improve microcirculation in the lesions of coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. However, this cannot be regarded as a permanent solution. If you do not pay attention to exercise, diet adjustment and other auxiliary treatments, your blood lipids will rise to the original level.

The above content is an introduction to the precautions that patients with high blood lipids should take in life. I hope it can be of some help to you. High blood lipids can cause certain harm to the human body. It can cause blood thickening, slow blood circulation, and in severe cases, coronary heart disease or cerebral stroke, which requires us to actively treat it. Develop a scientific lifestyle and be more responsible for your own body.
