Most people will have elevated blood lipids due to overweight body fat, which is the culprit leading to arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is very important for people with hyperlipidemia to do a good job in diet conditioning. In order to effectively control the blood lipid level, we should pay attention to the principle of "two lows and one high, two limits and one promotion", that is, low fat, low cholesterol and high fiber diet, limiting alcohol consumption, limiting total energy and promoting tea drinking. People with hyperlipidemia should eat the following foods:

bean products

Soybean products do not contain cholesterol, phytosterol can prevent the intestine from absorbing cholesterol in food, lecithin can prevent cholesterol from depositing on the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerotic plaques, and soybean protein can significantly reduce the levels of serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride.

Auricularia auricula and mushrooms

Auricularia auricula has the effects of resisting platelet aggregation, reducing blood lipid and preventing cholesterol deposition. Lentinus edodes has the functions of regulating human metabolism, lowering blood lipid and blood pressure, and can reduce the contents of fat and cholesterol in the liver. Buckwheat, oats, buckwheat and oats are rich in soluble fiber, which can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine and reduce the blood cholesterol level. According to research, people with high blood cholesterol eat 100g oatmeal every day, and after a few weeks, blood cholesterol can be reduced by 5%.

Garlic, onion

Garlic can relax blood vessels, prevent platelet aggregation and prevent cholesterol synthesis. Onion contains diallyl disulfide and sulfur-containing amino acids, which has the functions of lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and resisting arteriosclerosis.

fish

Fish is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride, increase high density lipoprotein, inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent arteriosclerosis. Especially marine fish, because it is rich in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, it has better lipid-lowering effect. For example, Eskimos living in the Arctic eat a lot of marine fish, but no one suffers from atherosclerotic heart disease.

Vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of cellulose. Eating a certain amount of cellulose can reduce cholesterol in the blood.

tea

Experimental studies have proved that all kinds of tea can reduce blood lipid and promote fat metabolism, among which green tea has the best effect of reducing blood lipid. Therefore, the elderly with hyperlipidemia may wish to drink more tea.

In addition, after middle age, people's basal metabolic rate decreases and their energy demand decreases. Patients with hyperlipidemia should strictly control their energy intake, and the energy intake per person per day should be controlled within 29 kcal/kg body weight and not more than 300 grams per day.
