Be alert! 4 million people die from this disease every year!

4 out of every 10 people around us suffer from hyperlipidemia, and 70% of these patients do not pay attention to their abnormal blood lipids, which causes many people to miss the best time for treatment. Little do they know that more than 4 million people die from complications of hyperlipidemia in my country every year.

What are the dangers of high blood lipids?
The biggest harm of high blood lipids is that they cause atherosclerosis. In addition to atherosclerosis, high blood lipids can also cause lesions in major organs and tissues of the body - heart, kidney, eye, brain, etc. Blockage of the coronary arteries of the heart can lead to myocardial infarction and sudden death; atherosclerosis of the cerebral arteries can easily induce diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction; atherosclerosis of the renal arteries can lead to renal failure and uremia; high blood lipids can also affect the blood supply around the eyes, leading to decreased optic nerve function.

Why do the “three highs” like to travel together and endanger human health?
High blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids are like three good brothers who like to travel together. They all belong to metabolic syndrome. The appearance of "three highs" often indicates that the metabolism of protein, fat, 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 you lower your 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 also 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, with half of it being livestock and poultry meat and half being aquatic products.
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 the scientific way to keep fit.
Interval 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 note: 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 your blood lipids by not adding oil to your dishes?
There are many kinds of edible oils in daily life. Soybean oil, corn oil, and rapeseed 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. The intake of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids should be 1:1:1.
Key points: Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids will increase blood lipids and the risk of coronary heart disease. Be wary of the intake of "invisible oils" in your daily diet, such as potato chips, French fries, and puffed foods. Ultra-processed foods are high in calories and additives, and excessive intake may lead to the risk of atherosclerosis. The "Health Management Standards for Dyslipidemia" guideline recommends that the daily intake of edible oil should be less than 25 grams. How to reduce high blood lipids?

Pay attention to diet: The dietary principles for blood lipid regulation are 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 intake 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. Moreover, alcohol is a grain essence, and excessive drinking can also cause excessive calorie intake and abnormal blood lipids.
Lipid-lowering drugs: follow doctor's advice.
