Ganoderma lucidum alone or in combination with hypolipidemic drugs can reduce serum cholesterol, triacylglycerol and low density lipoprotein, and increase high density lipoprotein. At the same time, it can also reduce the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and improve the hemorheology disorder. The protective effect of Ganoderma lucidum can prevent or alleviate the liver injury caused by chemical synthesis of lipid-regulating drugs. Ganoderma lucidum's function of regulating blood lipid is the basis of its protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Mushrooms mainly include mushrooms, Lentinus edodes, Volvariella volvacea, Pleurotus ostreatus and other higher mushroom foods, which are healthy foods with high protein, low fat and rich natural vitamins. It has a unique health care function, especially Lentinus edodes, which has the function of lowering cholesterol and preventing lipid deposition on arterial wall. Lentinus edodes also has the function of lowering blood pressure. Patients with hypertension can drink mushrooms in water instead of tea.

Buckwheat tea

Buckwheat tea not only has the nutritional value of buckwheat, but also has unique health care function. Tartary buckwheat [1] contains a special flavonoid-rutin, which can maintain the normal permeability and brittleness of blood vessel wall, soften blood vessels, promote wound healing, diminish inflammation, resist allergy, relieve cough, relieve asthma and reduce blood fat. There is also a curative component-vitamin E in Yong-relaxed Buckwheat Tea, which has strong antioxidant effect, can inhibit and eliminate excess free radicals in human body, activate macrophages, eliminate pigmentation on skin, enhance human immune function and reduce the negative effects of anticancer drugs. Dietary fiber in tartary buckwheat can promote the excretion of toxic substances and reduce the contents of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in serum.

fish

Fish contains extremely low saturated fat, especially cold-water fish from deep sea, and contains a lot of W-3 fatty acids. According to the research of American scientists, people who take W-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA supplements) have lower cholesterol and triglyceride content, lower blood viscosity, and lower blood pressure.

fruit and vegetables

Eating a lot of fruits, vegetables and water-soluble fiber is beneficial to lowering cholesterol. Light water-soluble fiber (such as whole wheat bran) can prevent constipation, but it is not helpful to lower cholesterol. Foods containing water-soluble fiber include beans, dates, tsaoko, figs, dried plums, cauliflower, oat bran and so on. Dried plums contain 60% soluble pectin, soybeans and their products have the same effect, and konjac food also contains a lot of water-soluble fiber.

garlic

Garlic has obvious effects of reducing blood lipid and preventing arteriosclerosis, and can effectively prevent thrombosis. Regular consumption of garlic can have a significant protective effect on cardiovascular system. Garlic is also called "gold in medicinal plants".

American researchers have found that eating half a garlic a day (whole garlic is better) can help some people lower 10% cholesterol and lower blood pressure. The healthy active ingredient in garlic is alliin. Taking 900 mg of tasteless garlic capsules every day has the same effect as eating garlic.

onion

Onion is a rare vegetable containing prostaglandin A. Prostaglandin A is a strong vasodilator, which can soften blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, increase coronary blood flow, and promote the excretion of sodium salts and other substances that cause high blood pressure, so it can not only regulate blood lipids, but also reduce blood pressure and prevent thrombosis. What's more, onion contains a kind of onion oil, which can not only lower cholesterol and improve atherosclerosis, but also increase the content of "good cholesterol"-high density lipoprotein. Onions can also lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and have the effect of lowering blood viscosity, which is quite similar to aspirin.

aubergine

Eggplant skin is rich in vitamin P, which can significantly reduce blood lipid and cholesterol. Vitamin P can also increase the elasticity of capillaries, improve microcirculation, and has obvious functions of promoting blood circulation and dredging veins. In addition, eggplant also contains a lot of saponin, which can also reduce cholesterol in the blood. Therefore, eggplant is an ideal food for patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis.

The decomposition products of eggplant in the intestine can be combined with excessive cholesterol in the body and excreted.

kelp

Can reduce arterial lipid deposition; The iodine and magnesium in kelp also play a role in preventing arterial lipid deposition.

vegetable oil

It contains unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human body, which can lower blood cholesterol, especially sesame oil, corn oil and peanut oil.

soybean

Eating100g of beans every day can reduce blood cholesterol, especially the low-density lipoprotein related to atherosclerosis.

pepper

Pepper contains the highest proportion of vitamin C among all foods. Vitamin C can improve the microcirculation of the body, reduce the fragility of capillaries, and at the same time, it can also reduce the content of cholesterol, so it is a natural lipid-lowering food.
