How to prevent hyperlipidemia in middle-aged and elderly people? Hyperlipidemia refers to the high level of blood lipid, which can directly cause some diseases that seriously endanger human health. Hyperlipidemia is a rich disease that puzzles modern people. Let's learn how to prevent hyperlipidemia in middle-aged and elderly people.
How to prevent hyperlipidemia 1 hyperlipidemia in middle-aged and elderly people belongs to the category of phlegm syndrome, dizziness, palpitation, chest obstruction and other diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine is characterized by dizziness, chest tightness or elevated blood lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol) only on an empty stomach. Outside the disease, it is due to long-term consumption of rich products, and inside the disease, it is due to the imbalance of yin and yang of the kidney caused by old age, infirmity or congenital deficiency, or the water dampness and phlegm resistance caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach.
How to prevent hyperlipidemia
First, a reasonable dietary structure, the dietary principle of hyperlipidemia is "four lows and one high", that is, low calorie, low fat, low cholesterol, low sugar and high fiber diet.
1. Control calorie intake. The daily calorie intake of each person should be controlled within 294 calories/kg body weight. Animal fat and cholesterol intake should also be very strict. No more than 300 mg per person per day. Try not to eat or eat less animal offal. No more than one egg a day. Vegetable oil containing peanut oil should be advocated. Milk, fish, beans, lean meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits should be used more.
2. The salt intake per person per day should be less than 8g.
Second, a scientific way of life.
The prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia should also pay attention to the regularity of lifestyle, properly participate in sports (sports food) and recreational activities, avoid smoking and drinking, avoid mental stress and maintain a good attitude.
Third, regular physical examination.
Obesity over 45 years old, family history of hyperlipidemia, frequent social intercourse and great mental stress are all high-risk groups. It is recommended to check blood lipids once a year.
Fourth, drug supervision.
The most fundamental purpose of lipid-lowering therapy is to prevent and delay the occurrence of coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. When the blood lipid can't drop to the ideal level after adjusting the diet structure reasonably, changing the bad living habits and strengthening physical exercise, drug treatment must be carried out, and the treatment of hyperlipidemia must take drugs for a long time.
Many natural medicines and foods have good blood lipid lowering effects. These medicines are: hawthorn, salvia miltiorrhiza, Alisma orientalis, Polygonum Multiflori Radix, Semen Cassiae, Polygonatum sibiricum, Radix Puerariae, Pollen Typhae, Lotus Leaf, Ginkgo Leaf, etc. These drugs can be decocted in water and used instead of tea, with good lipid-lowering effect.
Moderate patients can consider taking enough antioxidants, such as astaxanthin (ASTA), coenzyme Q 10, anthocyanin and other plant extracts. In severe cases, we can consider using fibrates to interfere with the metabolism of triglycerides.
What to eat to prevent hyperlipidemia?
Hawthorn porridge: hawthorn 30 ~ 45g (or fresh hawthorn 60g), japonica rice 100g, and proper amount of sugar. Stir-fry hawthorn to thick juice and cook with japonica rice. After the porridge is cooked, add sand sugar and eat it as hot food. It is not advisable to eat cold food on an empty stomach.

Grind into fine powder, put it in a pot with japonica rice, add appropriate amount of water, cook porridge with slow fire, and add mushrooms for breakfast when it is almost cooked. Lentinus edodes contains nucleic acid, which can inhibit the production of cholesterol, prevent lipid from depositing on the arterial wall and prevent arteriosclerosis. Polygonum multiflorum contains a component called lecithin, which can adsorb cholesterol on the blood vessel wall after entering the blood, thus reducing blood lipid and atherosclerosis, and can treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Long-term adherence to eating has a good lipid-lowering effect.
Mushroom hawthorn porridge: take auricularia auricula 10g, hawthorn 30g and japonica rice 10g. Wash the soaked black fungus, put it in a casserole with hawthorn and japonica rice, add some water, cook it into porridge, and take it on an empty stomach instead of breakfast. Auricularia auricula has the effects of anti-platelet aggregation, reducing blood lipid and preventing blood cholesterol deposition; Hawthorn has the functions of strengthening heart, dilating blood vessels, increasing coronary blood flow, improving blood circulation, promoting cholesterol excretion and reducing blood lipid; Japonica rice is good for the stomach. Taking this porridge regularly has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.

Lotus leaf has the functions of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, and reducing weight and lipid. Taking this porridge regularly has a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
How do middle-aged and elderly people prevent hyperlipidemia? 2 Can you drink with hyperlipidemia?
Patients with hyperlipidemia are not allowed to drink alcohol, which is for the sake of good health. Because alcohol needs to be metabolized in the liver, it will destroy the normal enzyme system of liver cells and can directly damage liver cells. Drinking a lot will increase blood viscosity, so we must pay attention to it. We should know that patients with hyperlipidemia, even if they drink a small amount of alcohol, will make their condition repeat or change. Long-term heavy drinking will make the original hyperlipidemia higher.
Harm of hyperlipidemia
1, hyperlipidemia can lead to liver function damage, and long-term hyperlipidemia can lead to fatty liver. However, the liver atherosclerosis is damaged, and the structure changes after the liver lobule is damaged, which leads to cirrhosis and liver function damage.
2, hyperlipidemia can lead to high blood pressure, after the formation of atherosclerosis in the human body, it will lead to myocardial dysfunction, angiotensin converting enzyme will be activated in large quantities, promoting vasospasm, inducing adrenal gland to secrete vasopressin, leading to increased blood pressure.
3. Hyperlipidemia can lead to coronary heart disease. When the human body forms atherosclerosis due to long-term hyperlipidemia, the blood flow in the coronary artery becomes smaller, the vascular lumen becomes narrower, and the myocardial blood injection decreases, leading to myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris and coronary heart disease.
4. Hyperlipidemia will harm the coronary artery and form atherosclerosis. A large number of lipid substances and protein will deposit and move in the plasma, which will reduce the blood flow speed, and then deposit on the arterial endothelium after oxidative rancidity, and adhere to the vascular wall for a long time, damaging the arterial endothelium and forming arteriosclerosis.
Let me summarize.
There are many ways to control blood lipids in life, and drug therapy is the most common way to relieve hyperlipidemia. In addition to controlling blood lipids with drugs, it is also important to have a reasonable diet and exercise every day.
How do middle-aged and elderly people prevent hyperlipidemia? 3 What are the manifestations of hyperlipidemia?
1, if you have hyperlipidemia, you will see things blurred, mainly because the blood thickens, causing temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve or retina.
2, the calf often cramps, we will also have pain, which is the performance of cholesterol accumulation in leg muscles.
3, often dizzy or easy to fall asleep when talking to people. I feel confused after getting up in the morning, but I can improve after breakfast. I am sleepy in the afternoon, but I am awake at night.
How to treat hyperlipidemia?
1. Drug therapy: The main drugs that can be used are statins, fibrates and nicotinic acids. If we are going to use drugs, we should use them under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Adjust the diet: control the total calories, rationally adjust the diet structure, reduce the intake of cholesterol, and at the same time quit smoking and limit alcohol;
3, strengthen exercise: appropriate participation in physical exercise is conducive to reducing blood lipid levels and losing weight.
Hyperlipidemia is very harmful to us, and many middle-aged and elderly people are prone to this disease. With the improvement of living standards, people with hyperlipidemia are getting younger and younger. In order to better prevent this disease, the usual diet is mainly light, mainly with meat and vegetables. If the blood is sticky, the daily intake of protein should not exceed 100g.
