4 out of 10 people have this disease! It may induce myocardial infarction!

Four out of every ten people around us have hyperlipidemia. In the hot summer, the human body sweats a lot. If you do not replenish water in time, it is easy to cause increased blood viscosity, aggravate coronary heart disease, and even induce myocardial infarction. When you feel panic, shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, and dizziness, you must not take it lightly.

How do “three highs” harm human health?

High blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids like to go together. They all belong to metabolic syndrome. The appearance of the "three highs" often indicates that the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and other substances in the human body is disordered.

High blood lipids will increase blood viscosity, cause vascular artery spasms, and cause the adrenal glands to secrete vasopressin, which will increase blood pressure; patients with high blood lipids are prone to insulin resistance and induce diabetes. Many people often start with high blood lipids, then develop high blood pressure, and then high blood sugar.

Can I lower my blood lipids by not eating meat?

Not eating meat can easily lead to a lack of protein, vitamins, fatty acids and other substances in the human body, which can reduce the body's immunity. Elevated blood lipids are often caused by eating too much. Even if you don't eat meat, if you eat too much high-calorie foods such as carbohydrates, the calories that are not consumed will be converted into fat and stored. The most important principle for regulating blood lipids is to control the total calories of food intake. Meat intake should be controlled at 80-150 grams per day, of which livestock and poultry meat and aquatic products each account for half.

Key points: When patients with high blood lipids eat meat, they should eat lean meat instead of fat, and aquatic products are preferred. Can walking 10,000 steps a day lower blood lipids?

Exercise must reach a certain intensity to effectively lower blood lipids. Endurance training and strength training are a two-pronged approach to fitness. Intermittent training: Use high, medium and low intensity training, and divide it into several groups, giving the body a certain amount of recovery time between groups. Training five to eight groups at a time, three times a day, can effectively help lower blood lipids.

Resistance exercise: It is the active movement of muscles to overcome external resistance, which can restore and develop muscle strength and prevent muscle atrophy.

Special attention: Exercise to lower blood lipids may not be suitable for all people with high blood lipids. You should listen to your doctor's advice before exercising. Can you lower blood lipids by not adding oil to your dishes?

There are many types of edible oils in daily life. The intake of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids should be 1:1:1. The "Standards for Primary Health Management of Dyslipidemia" guideline recommends that the daily intake of edible oil should be less than 25 grams. Soybean oil and corn oil are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids; olive oil, camellia oil, and peanut oil are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids; lard and palm oil are rich in saturated fatty acids.

Key points: Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids will increase blood lipids and the risk of coronary heart disease. Ultra-processed foods are high in calories and additives, and excessive intake may lead to the risk of atherosclerosis. How to lower high blood lipids? Pay attention to diet: Dietary principles for blood lipid regulation: low oil, low salt, and a combination of coarse and fine staple foods. It is recommended that the daily intake of coarse grains account for one-third of the total daily staple food to help lower blood lipids.

Control your weight: A BMI index of 24 or greater is considered overweight, and a BMI index of 28 or greater is considered obese.

Appropriate exercise: When exercising to lower blood lipids, be careful to avoid the harm caused by excessive exercise.

Regulate your emotions: Bad mood, poor sleep, and high stress can cause endocrine disorders, which in turn can induce metabolic syndrome.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Smoking can damage the endothelium of blood vessels and increase the risk of atherosclerosis. Excessive drinking can lead to excessive calorie intake and cause abnormal blood lipids.
