What should you pay attention to when you have high blood lipids?

With the improvement of living standards, more and more friends have high blood lipids. Many people think that high blood lipids are caused by diet, so they should pay special attention to diet. So let us understand what friends with high blood lipids should pay attention to, especially what to eat and what not to eat in terms of diet. Diet is a non-drug therapy, so you have to persist to see the effect. The problem cannot be solved by one or two meals.

Patients with high blood lipids should eat a light diet, try to eat less greasy fried foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, and it is best to stick to eating low-cholesterol and nutritionally balanced foods. In addition, you must pay attention to physical exercise at ordinary times. Exercising more appropriately can consume calories and fat in the body, which is of great help to patients with high blood lipids. Let's talk specifically about the dietary precautions for high blood lipids.

① First of all, we must control the intake of energy. It is recommended to eat complex carbohydrates, such as starch and corn, and eat less glucose, fructose and sucrose. These sugars are monosaccharides and can easily cause increased blood lipids.

② Limit fat intake. When cooking, choose vegetable oil and eat more marine fish. Marine fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can oxidize cholesterol, thereby lowering plasma cholesterol. It can also prolong platelet aggregation, inhibit thrombosis, and prevent stroke. It also contains more linoleic acid, which has a certain effect on increasing the elasticity of microvessels, preventing blood vessel rupture, and preventing complications of hypertension.

③ Consume protein in moderation. The ideal daily protein intake for patients with hypertension is 1g per kilogram of body weight. Eating fish protein 2-3 times a week can improve vascular elasticity and permeability, increase urinary sodium excretion, and thus lower blood pressure. If hypertension is accompanied by renal insufficiency, protein intake should be limited.

④ Eat more foods rich in potassium and calcium and low in sodium, such as potatoes, eggplants, kelp, and lettuce. Foods high in calcium: milk, yogurt, and dried shrimps. Eat less broth, because the increased nitrogen extract in broth can promote the increase of uric acid in the body and increase the burden on the heart, liver, and kidneys.

⑤ Limit salt intake: gradually reduce it to less than 6g per day. That is, after removing the rubber pad from an ordinary beer cap, one flat cap contains about 6g of salt. This amount refers to the amount of table salt, including cooking salt and the total amount of sodium contained in other foods converted into table salt. Appropriately reducing sodium salt intake can help lower blood pressure and reduce sodium and water retention in the body.

⑥ Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat at least 8 taels of fresh vegetables and 2 to 4 taels of fruit every day.

⑦ Appropriately increase the intake of seafood: such as kelp, seaweed, seafood fish, etc.

Everyone knows what kind of dietary structure should be paid attention to when having high blood lipids. In fact, many patients themselves know what to eat, but sometimes they can’t help themselves when faced with the temptation of delicious food. Therefore, they need to control themselves in order to have a healthy body.
