I am happy to answer your questions. Recommendation: Mainly light and moderate meals. Eat more vegetables and fruits and less spicy and greasy food. Eat celery at least once a day. Celery can not only lower blood pressure but also has more crude fiber. It can help you recover and control the development of the disease. Wish you a speedy recovery
The problem of high blood lipids
If you eat well and exercise less, your blood lipids will be high. At present, patients with hyperlipidemia are extremely common, including hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia and complex hyperlipidemia, which are one of the main factors leading to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. It also has an impact that cannot be ignored on the kidneys, peripheral circulation, pancreas, pruritus, immune system, and blood system diseases.
Hyperlipidemia is divided into two types: primary and secondary. The former is related to the environment and family inheritance. The latter is caused by diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity, pancreatitis, etc. A reasonable diet and lifestyle are of great significance in preventing hyperlipidemia. For patients with hereditary hyperlipidemia, drug treatment has no significant improvement. The improvement is mainly through adjusting the diet structure. Try not to eat or eat less foods containing high cholesterol, such as animal offal, brain, bone marrow, fish roe, shellfish, etc. Squid, eel, etc. Eat high-fiber vegetables and fruits regularly. They contain a large amount of plant sterols, which can inhibit cholesterol absorption and play an anti-arteriosclerosis role. Moderate or small amounts of alcohol can also lower cholesterol, 45 ml of white wine or 90 ml of dry red or 188 ml of beer per day. For patients with existing hyperlipidemia, they must control their diet and engage in moderate exercise such as jogging. Through exercise, the lipase activity in fat increases and blood lipids decrease accordingly. Some patients have normal blood lipids but have high blood pressure, Diabetes and coronary heart disease also require diet control, active exercise, and drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
Although the purpose of lowering cholesterol can usually be achieved through reasonable adjustment of diet, exercise, and medication, these methods sometimes often fail to treat some patients with refractory and familial hyperlipidemia.
Recently, a system for directly adsorbing blood lipids from whole blood has emerged in medicine, using fully enclosed disposable blood tubes and autologous blood purification and reinfusion to directly remove excess harmful blood lipids from the blood.
It can also be used to prevent various complications caused by hyperlipidemia, and can improve microcirculation in areas with coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. However, this cannot be regarded as a once and for all solution. If you do not pay attention to exercise, diet adjustment and other auxiliary treatments, blood lipids will rise to the original level again.
Blood Lipid Health Manual
--------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------
< p>The three magic weapons for regulating blood lipids are adjusting diet structure, improving lifestyle, and drug treatment.(1) Principles for adjusting the diet structure: limit the intake of foods rich in fat and cholesterol; choose low-fat foods (vegetable oil, yogurt); increase vitamins and fiber (fruits, vegetables, bread and cereals) Food)
(2) The daily dietary structure of normal elderly people: one egg, one banana; a bowl of milk (not necessarily with sugar, it can also be kefir and milk powder); 500 grams of fruits and vegetables (can be Choose multiple varieties); 100 grams of clean meat, including fish, poultry, livestock and other meats (calculated as edible parts); 50 grams of soy products (including tofu, yuba, qianzhang, bean cakes and various bean processed products, For example, refried beans, bean paste and boiled whole beans); about 500 grams of grains (including rice, noodles, grains, roots and sugar); drink soup every day, one bowl with each meal.
(3) Foods that can lower blood lipids: garlic (eat 1 to 2 pieces of sweet and sour garlic on an empty stomach in the morning), ginger, eggplant, hawthorn, persimmon, black fungus, milk, etc.
(4) Examples of meals for patients with hyperlipidemia: Breakfast, 200 ml of soy milk, 50 grams of steamed cakes, 10 grams of cooked soybeans; lunch, 100 grams of double-sided steamed buns with standard flour or corn flour, and 50 grams of rice porridge , 25 grams of lean pork, 100 grams of fried green peppers, 100 grams of fried beans; dinner, 150 grams of rice, 100 grams of Chinese cabbage, 50 grams of boiled tofu, 10 grams of vermicelli, 20 grams of carp, and 100 grams of shredded potatoes. 12 grams of cooking oil throughout the day.
(5) Improve lifestyle a. Lose weight: Obesity is excess fat and is also an external sign of arteriosclerosis. b. Quit smoking: Nicotine and carbon monoxide in tobacco cause and aggravate the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis. c. Control alcohol: Drinking less alcohol is beneficial to the human body, while drinking more is harmful. Alcohol is high in calories, and drinking too much will aggravate obesity. d. Aerobic exercise.
8. Appropriate amount of exercise for the elderly Calculate whether the amount of exercise is appropriate based on heart rate, and keep the heart rate at (220-age) × (60%-85%). Fitness sports suitable for the elderly include Tai Chi, Qigong, jogging, brisk walking, slow cycling, swimming, mountain climbing, elderly aerobics, gateball, badminton, backward walking, etc. The best time of the day for fitness exercise: 5 a.m., the amount of exercise should not be too large and should be kept at light to moderate intensity; 10 a.m. is the best time of the day to exercise, and 16 to 17 p.m. is the most suitable time for weight loss; Taking a walk (or brisk walk) and doing health exercises 0.5 to 1 hour before dinner is a physical therapy that is beneficial to the treatment of diabetes.
At the same time, we should pay attention to mental health and maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life.
9. Drug treatment, protects the heart and brain. In the early 1990s, the international medical community conducted large-scale lipid-lowering treatment studies, and the results were exciting: long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs not only lowered blood lipids, but also It also significantly reduces the incidence, disability and mortality of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. In short, the most fundamental purpose of lipid-lowering treatment is to prevent and delay the occurrence of coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. Currently, doctors and patients around the world attach great importance to lipid-lowering treatment, and their concepts have undergone fundamental changes. Therefore, some people say that the era of fat-lowering has arrived!
10. How to choose the ideal lipid-lowering drug? When blood lipids still cannot be reduced to the ideal level after properly adjusting the diet, changing bad living habits, and strengthening physical exercise, drug treatment must be started. There are currently many drugs for adjusting blood lipids, which are mainly divided into the following three categories: (1) Statins, which mainly reduce cholesterol, such as Shujiangzhi, Plagu, etc.; (2) Fibrates: mainly reduce triglycerides. , such as Nuoheng, Lipingzhi, etc.; (3) natural drugs, which are effective in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, and can increase high-density lipoprotein, and have the effect of comprehensively regulating blood lipids with few side effects, such as Xuezhikang wait. Because the increase in blood lipids is a slow process, the regulation of blood lipids, especially the elimination of the adverse effects of blood lipids, also requires a continuous process. Therefore, patients should choose lipid-lowering drugs with obvious lipid-lowering effects and few side effects according to their own conditions. .
11. Checking blood lipids is very important: Because many people still lack awareness of the dangers of high blood lipids, and high blood lipids themselves have no symptoms, many people discover high blood lipids accidentally. of. To take precautions, when you have the following conditions, such as family history of hyperlipidemia, obesity, high blood pressure, skin xanthoma, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, middle-aged and elderly people, postmenopausal women, long-term high blood pressure If you are on a sugary diet, please check your blood lipids as soon as possible. Ordinary people: check their blood lipids every 2 years; people over 40 years old: check their blood lipids once a year; high-risk groups and patients with hyperlipidemia: follow the doctor's guidance and check their blood lipids regularly.
12. Blood lipids and coronary heart disease: Despite statistics, the mortality rate from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has exceeded 1/2 of the total mortality rate of the population. Coronary heart disease is also called coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Coronary arteries are arteries that specifically supply blood to the heart. Excessive fat deposition causes arteriosclerosis, which blocks blood flow, causing cardiac ischemia and a series of symptoms, namely coronary heart disease. Risk factors for coronary heart disease: hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, lack of physical activity, excessive mental stress, family history of coronary heart disease, oral contraceptives, etc. Among them, hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factors for coronary heart disease. one. Regulating blood lipids is the most basic therapy for preventing and treating coronary heart disease: if the total serum cholesterol level decreases by 1%, the incidence of coronary heart disease will decrease by 2%. As long as you have coronary heart disease, regardless of whether your blood lipids are high or not, you should take lipid-lowering drugs for a long time. Because long-term lipid-lowering treatment can reduce the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
13. The relationship between blood lipids and cerebral infarction: When cholesterol in the blood increases, arteriosclerotic plaques are easily formed. These plaques accumulate in the arterial walls, narrowing the arterial lumen and blocking the blood flow into the corresponding parts. Causes loss of kinetic energy. It causes cerebral infarction when it occurs in the cerebral blood vessels. Medical proof: long-term lipid-lowering treatment can not only treat cerebral infarction, but also prevent cerebral infarction. Lipid-lowering treatment and stroke: There are many causes of stroke, including high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, smoking, drinking, obesity, advanced age, diabetes, blood diseases, etc. Among them, hyperlipidemia and cerebral atherosclerosis are important risk factors for cerebral infarction. one. Many studies have proven that long-term lipid-lowering treatment can significantly reduce the incidence and disability rate of stroke. Therefore, clinicians are paying more and more attention to the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
14. Blood lipids and diabetes: Hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and hyperglycemia are called the "three highs" and are the main risk factors that threaten the health and life of diabetic patients. The three are closely related. Hyperlipidemia can aggravate diabetes. Therefore, in addition to treating hyperglycemia, diabetic patients also need to regulate blood lipids. This is the key to reducing the mortality and disability rates of diabetic patients. Diabetic patients should pay attention to blood lipid regulation: Diabetes combined with hyperlipidemia is more likely to lead to stroke, coronary heart disease, limb necrosis, fundus lesions, kidney disease, neuropathy, etc. These long-term complications of diabetes can cause disability or premature death in diabetic patients. main reason. More than half of diabetic patients have hyperlipidemia, and active treatment of hyperlipidemia is of great benefit to controlling blood sugar and preventing complications. Adjusting blood sugar can improve blood lipids to a certain extent, but to reach the ideal level, intervention with lipid-lowering drugs is required. The treatment status of diabetes and lipid metabolism has become the standard for disease control in diabetic patients.
15. Xuezhikang - it not only lowers blood lipids, but also helps lower blood sugar: Research by experts from the Endocrinology Department of Beijing Hospital found that diabetic patients whose antihyperglycemic drugs are not effective are taking Xuezhikang, which not only regulates abnormal blood lipids, but also helps reduce blood sugar. It can also help lower blood sugar.
16. Blood lipids and fatty liver: Fatty liver is caused by the accumulation of large amounts of fat in the liver, and is often combined with increased blood lipids. B-ultrasound examination is currently the main method for detecting fatty liver. The incidence rate of fatty liver is as high as 5-10%. About 35% of patients with elevated transaminases in adult physical examination have fatty liver, and some patients may develop cirrhosis. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of fatty liver is very important to prevent the progression of chronic liver disease and improve the prognosis.
Who is susceptible to fatty liver: patients with hyperlipidemia, patients with diabetes, those with abdominal fat accumulation, long-term heavy drinkers, obese people and those with viral hepatitis. What are the symptoms of fatty liver: Most mild fatty livers have no subjective symptoms, while moderate and severe symptoms include hepatomegaly, loss of appetite, swelling and pain in the liver area, and elevated transaminases. A few have mild jaundice, splenomegaly, etc. What should patients with fatty liver do: Early treatment can prevent the development of fatty liver, and most fatty livers can be cured. This includes eliminating the cause, improving lifestyle, adjusting diet, and applying lipid-lowering drugs for treatment.
