Regulate dietary structure, improve lifestyle, and medication. (1)The principle of regulating dietary structure: limit the intake of fat-rich, cholesterol-rich foods; choose low-fat foods (vegetable oil, sour milk); increase vitamins, fiber (fruits, vegetables, bread and cereals) (2)Normal daily dietary structure of the elderly: an egg, a banana; a bowl of milk (not necessarily with sugar, but also yogurt and powdered milk); 500 grams of fruits and greens (optional variety); 100 grams of net meat, including fish, poultry, livestock and other meats; 100 grams of meat, including fish, poultry, livestock and other meat. varieties); 100 grams of net meat, including fish, poultry, livestock and other meats (in edible portions); 50 grams of soybean products (including tofu, bean curd, rice cakes, bean cakes, and a variety of processed soybean products, such as soybean puree, soybean paste, and boiled whole soybeans); 500 grams of grains (including rice, noodles, miscellaneous grains, roots and tubers, and granulated sugar); and daily consumption of soups, with a bowl at each meal. (3) Foods with lipid-lowering properties: garlic (1~2 pieces of sweet and sour garlic on an empty stomach in the morning), ginger, eggplant, hawthorn, persimmons, black fungus, and milk. (4) Examples of therapeutic diets for patients with high blood lipids: breakfast, 200 ml of soy milk, 50 grams of steamed cake, 10 grams of boiled soybeans; Chinese food, 100 grams of standard flour, cornmeal and two-face steamed buns, 50 grams of rice thin rice, 25 grams of lean pork, 100 grams of fried green peppers, 100 grams of fried string beans; dinner, 150 grams of rice, 100 grams of baby bok choy, 50 grams of simmered tofu, 10 grams of vermicelli, 20 grams of carp, shredded potatoes 100 grams. Cooking oil for the whole day 12 grams. (5) Improve lifestyle a. Lose weight: obesity is excess fat, which is also the external sign of atherosclerosis. b. Quit smoking: nicotine and carbon monoxide in tobacco triggers and aggravates the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. c. Control alcohol: alcohol is beneficial to the human body if you drink less, but harmful to the human body if you drink more. Wine is high in calories, and drinking more aggravates obesity. d. Aerobic exercise.
8. Appropriate exercise for the elderly
The amount of exercise through the heart rate to calculate the appropriateness of the heart rate is maintained at (220 - age) × (60% - 85%). Suitable for the elderly fitness sports programs are tai chi, qigong, jogging, fast walking, cycling, swimming, hiking, geriatric aerobics, gate ball, badminton, backward walking and so on. The best time for fitness exercise in a day: 5 a.m., the amount of exercise should not be too large, should be kept light to medium intensity; 10 a.m. is the best time to exercise in a day, 16 ~ 17 p.m. is the most suitable exercise time for weight loss; 0.5 ~ 1 hour before dinner, when walking (or brisk walking) and do health care gymnastics is conducive to the treatment of diabetes in sports therapy. At the same time should pay attention to mental health, maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life.
9. Medication
Protecting the heart and protecting the brain in the early nineties, the international medical community carried out a large-scale lipid-regulating treatment research, and the results are encouraging: the long-term use of lipid-regulating drugs not only reduces the blood fat, but also significantly reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, the incidence of disability and mortality. In short, the most fundamental purpose of lipid regulating treatment is to prevent and delay the occurrence of coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. At present, doctors and patients around the world attach great importance to lipid modulation therapy, and the concept has undergone fundamental changes. Therefore, some people say that the era of lipid regulation has arrived!
10. How to choose the ideal lipid-modulating drug?
When the blood lipids cannot be reduced to the ideal level by rationally adjusting the diet structure, changing the bad habits and strengthening the physical exercise, it is necessary to start the drug treatment. At present, there are many medicines for adjusting blood lipids, which are mainly divided into the following three categories: (1) statins, mainly to reduce cholesterol, such as Shushuzhi, Pragul, etc.; (2) betas: mainly to reduce triglycerides, such as Nuohyen, Lipin lipids, etc.; (3) natural medicines, which are effective in reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, and can elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which has the efficacy of comprehensively regulating blood lipids and has fewer side effects, such as Longtai brand lipid-lowering ning. Such as Longtai brand lipid-lowering Ning, etc. Because the increase of blood fat is a slow process, the regulation of blood fat, especially the elimination of the adverse effects of blood fat also need a continuous process, so patients should be based on their own different situations, choose the lipid-lowering effect is obvious, with little toxic side effects of lipid-lowering drugs.
11. Checking blood lipids is crucial:
Since there are still many people who do not know enough about the dangers of hyperlipidemia, and since hyperlipidemia itself has no symptoms, many people find out that their blood lipids are high inadvertently. In order to prevent it, when you have the following conditions, such as family history of high blood fat, obesity, high blood pressure, skin yellow tumor or already have coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, middle-aged and old people, postmenopausal women, long-term high-sugar diet, please check the blood fat as early as possible. Ordinary people: check your blood lipids every 2 years; people over 40 years old: check your blood lipids once a year; high-risk groups and patients with high blood lipids: follow your doctor's instructions to review your blood lipids regularly.
12. Lipids and coronary heart disease:
Refusing to statistics, the mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has exceeded 1/2 of the total mortality rate of the population.
Coronary heart disease is also known as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Coronary arteries are arteries specialized in supplying blood to the heart, due to excessive fat deposition, resulting in atherosclerosis, so that the blood flow is impeded, causing ischemia of the heart, a series of symptoms occur, that is, coronary heart disease. Risk factors of coronary heart disease: high blood lipids, smoking, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, lack of physical activity, mental overstress, family history of coronary heart disease, oral contraceptives, etc. Among them, high blood lipids is one of the important risk factors of coronary heart disease. Regulation of blood lipids is the most basic therapy to prevent and control coronary heart disease: serum total cholesterol level decreased by 1%, the incidence of coronary heart disease decreased by 2%. As long as there is coronary heart disease, regardless of your high or not high blood fat, should be long-term use of lipid regulating drugs. Because long-term lipid-regulating therapy can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease angina, myocardial infarction and mortality.
13. The relationship between blood lipids and cerebral infarction:
When blood cholesterol increases, it is easy to form atherosclerotic plaques, and these plaques build up inside the arterial wall, narrowing the arterial lumen and blocking the flow of blood to the corresponding parts, causing kinetic energy deficiency. It causes cerebral infarction when it occurs in the cerebral blood vessels. Medical proof: long-term lipid regulation therapy can not only treat cerebral infarction, but also prevent cerebral infarction. Lipotropic treatment and cerebral stroke: there are many reasons for cerebral stroke, such as hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood fat, smoking, drinking, obesity, high age, diabetes, blood disease, etc., among which high blood fat and cerebral atherosclerosis are one of the important risk factors for cerebral infarction. Many studies have proved that long-term lipid-regulating treatment can significantly reduce the incidence of stroke and disability rate, therefore, clinicians are paying more and more attention to the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
14. Lipids and diabetes:
High blood lipids, high blood pressure and high blood sugar are known as the "three highs", which are the main risk factors threatening the health and life of diabetic patients. The three are closely related, high blood lipids can aggravate diabetes, so patients with diabetes in addition to the treatment of hyperglycemia, but also need to regulate blood lipids, is the key to reduce the mortality rate of patients with diabetes and disability. Diabetic patients should pay attention to regulate blood lipids: diabetes combined with high blood lipid is more likely to lead to stroke, coronary heart disease, limb necrosis, fundopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, etc. These long-term complications of diabetes are the main cause of disability or premature death of diabetic patients. More than half of diabetic patients are combined with hyperlipidemia, and active treatment of hyperlipidemia is beneficial to controlling blood glucose and preventing complications. Adjustment of blood glucose can improve blood lipids to a certain extent, but to achieve the desired level, intervention therapy with lipid regulating drugs is also needed. The treatment status of diabetes and lipid metabolism has become a standard for the control of diabetic patients.
15.Lipids and fatty liver:
Fatty liver is caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, often combined with increased blood lipids. ultrasound is the main means of checking fatty liver. The incidence of fatty liver is as high as 5~10%, about 35% of the adult physical examination of transaminase increase for fatty liver, some patients can develop into 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 prone to fatty liver: patients with high blood fat, diabetic patients, abdominal fat accumulation, long-term heavy drinking, obese people and people with viral hepatitis. Symptoms of fatty liver: most of the mild fatty liver without conscious symptoms, moderate and severe manifestations of hepatomegaly, loss of appetite, liver distension, transaminase elevation, a few appear mild jaundice, splenomegaly and so on. What should patients with fatty liver do: Early treatment can stop the development of fatty liver, and most fatty liver can be cured. It includes getting rid of the causes of disease, improving life style, regulating diet structure; applying lipid regulating drugs for treatment.

Treatment
After a certain age, the kidney qi is gradually weakened, the kidney yang and yin are all weak, and the phase fire is easy to move, resulting in hyperactivity of the liver yang, or even fire, and the fire is strong, the fire will be the earth, which will lead to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, and the accumulation of dampness and heat, and the generation of phlegm and wetness, which will lead to the formation of hyperlipidaemia, and the further development of phlegm, wetness, wetness and wetness, and the more obstruction, which will ultimately lead to the obstruction of veins and channels, and the emergence of chest paralysis and cardiac pain, and the symptoms of coronary heart disease. The symptoms of coronary heart disease, and traditional Chinese medicine is used to nourish the yin and tonify the kidney, clearing away heat and phlegm, strengthening the spleen and promoting dampness and other therapies.
Drug therapy
There are many types of lipid-lowering drugs, and it is difficult to categorize them.
In terms of their main lipid-lowering function, they can be divided into four categories:
1, lowering total cholesterol.
2, the main reduction of total cholesterol and triglycerides.
3. Lowering triglycerides.
4, mainly lower triglycerides and total cholesterol.
In summary, it can prevent the absorption of bile acids or cholesterol from the intestinal tract, and promote the discharge of bile acids or cholesterol with the feces. Inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in vivo, or promote the conversion of cholesterol to promote the expression of LDL receptor on the cell membrane, accelerate the decomposition of lipoprotein. Activate lipoprotein metabolizing enzymes to promote hydrolysis of triglycerides. Block the in vivo synthesis of other lipids, or promote the metabolism of other lipids.
Food therapy
Dietary therapy for hyperlipidemia
Points for food selection for the treatment of hyperlipidemia
(1) Moderation of staple foods. Overweight or obese people should pay particular attention to moderation. Avoid eating pure sugar foods and sweets.
(2) Consume more fish (especially marine fish), soybeans and soy products, poultry, lean meat and other foods that provide high-quality protein and are low in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.
(3) Control the intake of animal liver and other offal, and strictly limit the intake of animal brain, crab roe and fish roe.
(4) Cook with vegetable oil and minimize the intake of animal fats.
(5) Eat more vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, etc., to ensure that the right amount of food fiber, vitamins, inorganic salt intake. In particular, you should consume more food rich in niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6 and so on.
(6) It has been found that many foods have lipid-lowering effect:
①Garlic: garlic can raise the blood HDL, which is beneficial to the prevention of atherosclerosis.
②Eggplant: eggplant in the intestinal tract of the decomposition products, can be combined with excessive cholesterol, so that it is discharged from the body.
③Mushrooms: Ganoderma lucidum, shiitake mushrooms and fungus. Can lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. According to research, its cholesterol-lowering effect, 10 times stronger than the lipid-lowering drug Antomin.
④Onion and kelp: onion can reduce arterial lipid deposition; and iodine and magnesium in kelp also have a role in preventing arterial lipid deposition.
5 soybean: researchers found that eating 115 grams of beans every day, blood cholesterol can be reduced by 20%, especially with the formation of atherosclerosis related to low-density lipoprotein reduction is obvious.
6 tea: tea can lower blood lipids, tea area residents blood cholesterol levels and the incidence of coronary heart disease is significantly lower than other regions.
7 fish: fish contains a large number of advanced unsaturated fatty acids, beneficial to lowering blood cholesterol.
8 vegetable oil: contains essential unsaturated fatty acids, can reduce blood cholesterol, especially sesame oil, corn oil, peanut oil, etc. is good.
9 other foods: such as hawthorn, celery, winter melon, coarse oats, apples, etc., all have different degrees of lipid-lowering effect.
(7). Examples of one-day recipes
Breakfast: 250 ml of fat-free milk (250 grams of skim milk), cornmeal cake (100 grams of cornmeal), 150 grams of shredded romaine lettuce (150 grams of romaine lettuce).
Lunch: steamed bread or rice 100 grams (flour or rice 100 grams), stewed tofu (15 grams of seaweed, 25 grams of shiitake mushrooms, 100 grams of tofu), fried shredded eggplant (eggplant 100 grams).
Dinner: steamed bread or rice (flour or rice 100g), fried cabbage with tomato (tomato 50g, cabbage 100g), stewed chicken pieces (chicken pieces 100g).
Fruit therapy
1, hawthorn
Hawthorn contains triterpenoids, bioflavonoids and rich vitamin C components, with the expansion of blood vessel wall, lower cholesterol and triglyceride and lower blood pressure and other effects. In addition, it also contains hawthorn acid, citric acid, all have significant blood lipid-lowering effect, just some elderly people eat hawthorn will cause acid reflux and other stomach discomfort, must be used with discretion. Hawthorn has the highest calcium content, which is beneficial to middle-aged and old people to replenish calcium.
2, apple
Apple is easy to ignore the "lipid-lowering fruit", its lipid-lowering effect stems from the rich pectin, which is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber, can be combined with the bile acid, like a sponge to absorb excess cholesterol and triglycerides, and help it out of the body. Pectin can also combine with other cholesterol-lowering substances, such as vitamin C and fructose, to enhance the efficacy of lipid-lowering. The acetic acid decomposed by apples also facilitates the decomposition and metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides.
3, bananas
Bananas are sweet and cold, with high medicinal value. Rich in norepinephrine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and dihydroxyphenethylamine, the main function is to clear the stomach and intestines, treat constipation, and has a heat and lung, quench thirst, fill the marrow, alcohol and other effects, banana fruit stalks, but has the effect of lowering cholesterol
4, lychee
Lychee meat is rich in vitamin C and protein, which helps to enhance the body's immune function and improve resistance to disease. Lychee has a wealth of vitamins that can promote blood circulation in the microvessels, lower cholesterol and triglycerides as well as lower blood pressure.
5, kiwifruit
Kiwifruit is rich in arginine, can effectively improve blood flow, prevent the formation of blood clots, to reduce coronary heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases, the incidence of special effects. Kiwifruit contains vitamins C, E, K, etc., is a nutrition and dietary fiber-rich low-fat food.
Editorial
Ganoderma lucidum treatment of hyperlipidemia
Ganoderma lucidum alone or in combination with lipid-regulating drugs can lower serum cholesterol, triacylglycerol and low-density lipoproteins, and elevate high-density lipoproteins. At the same time, it can also reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity and improve blood rheological disorders. The hepatoprotective effect of Ganoderma lucidum can prevent or reduce liver injury caused by chemically synthesized lipid regulating drugs. The lipid-regulating effect of Ganoderma lucidum is the basis of its cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects.
The efficacy characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum against hyperlipidemia
Ganoderma lucidum preparations do have certain efficacy on hyperlipidemia, and can be applied alone or in combination with conventional anti-hyperlipidemic drugs. The clinical efficacy is characterized as follows:
1. Ganoderma lucidum preparation can reduce serum cholesterol, triglycerides, β-lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) to varying degrees; and can increase high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
2. Ganoderma preparations can also reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and improve blood rheological disorders.
3. Ganoderma preparations have a synergistic effect with conventional lipid-lowering drugs and can mutually enhance their efficacy.
4. The efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum preparations in the treatment of hyperlipidemia is related to the severity of the disease, the dosage of medication and the length of treatment, etc. Generally, the disease is light, the dosage of medication and the length of treatment is related to the general condition is light, moderate patients with good efficacy, the dosage is larger, and the efficacy of those who have a longer treatment course is better.
5. At present, the commonly used chemically synthesized anti-hyperlipidemic drugs can often cause liver damage, when combined, due to the role of Ganoderma lucidum in protecting the liver, it can prevent or alleviate the liver damage caused by these drugs.
6. The effects of increased appetite, improved sleep, and increased physical strength can be seen after the use of the drug.

Health care
Simply put, in a word: must lose weight
Q : Specifically, patients with hyperlipidemia should pay attention to what in the diet?
Diet is a non-pharmacological treatment. Patients with hyperlipidemia, first of all, should adhere to a reasonable diet, adhere to the low cholesterol nutritional balance of the diet. You should eat more foods rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, such as lean meat, poultry, fish, shrimp, beans, soy products, cereals, fruits and vegetables. In this way, you can reduce the lipid content, and should eat less fat meat, dairy products, egg yolk, brain, liver, kidney and intestines and other animal offal. These things on the cholesterol concentration is relatively high, in addition to eating less sweets.
Q: high blood fat must quit drinking?
Patients should quit drinking, especially patients with high blood lipids, generally healthy people, we call abstinence from alcohol, for patients with high blood lipids, or do not drink alcohol, because alcohol intake is more on the blood lipids still have an impact.
Q: How often is it appropriate to check lipids?
When the detection of high blood lipids, we hope that the patient's healthy lifestyle intervention, we recommend that the patient four to six weeks to check once, monitoring two to three months, if this lipid tends to normalize, and then can be three to six months to recheck once, if it is not yet up to the standard, need to be added to the medication, medication, and then we recommend that the patient should be four to six weeks to monitor the standard after three to six months of monitoring time.
Precautions
I. Diet
Human lipids include both fats and lipids. Hyperlipidemia is most closely related to diet. The accumulation of body fat and the source of some lipids mainly come from diet. Only a portion of lipids are synthesized in the body and are called endogenous lipids.
Dietary control is very important in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia.
1, the diet advocates light, basic vegetarian.
But it is not advisable to eat vegetarian for a long time, otherwise the dietary composition is not perfect, but can cause endogenous cholesterol increase.
2, it is advisable to limit the high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, such as animal brain marrow, egg yolk, chicken liver, butter and so on.
3, fat intake is limited to 30 to 50 grams per day.
4, limit sugar foods, no sweets and snacks.
5, eat more vegetables and fruits.
6, it is advisable to eat a low-salt diet, cooking oil should use soybean oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil and so on.
7, hunger and satiety moderation.
The amount of food eaten at each meal is half an hour before the next meal to the degree of hunger, should not be used to hunger therapy, excessive hunger, on the contrary, to accelerate the decomposition of fat in the body, so that the blood lipoic acid increase.
II. Quit smoking and avoid alcohol
Nicotine in cigarettes can make peripheral vasoconstriction and myocardial stress increase, so that blood pressure rises, angina attack. Inappropriate alcohol consumption can make the heart function decline, on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, nervous system, endocrine system have damage, should be absolutely quit smoking avoid alcohol.
Three. Drink tea in moderation
Tea contains catechic acid has enhanced vascular flexibility, elasticity and permeability, can prevent vascular sclerosis. Theophylline and caffeine in tea can stimulate the spirit, promote blood circulation, reduce fatigue and have a diuretic effect. Moderate consumption of tea can eliminate greasy diet and weight loss. But too much strong tea, will stimulate the heart, make the heart beat faster, harmful to the body.
Four. Appropriate exercise
Control of obesity is one of the important measures to prevent high blood fat. In addition to dietary control, advocating adherence to physical exercise, such as jogging, five birds play, tai chi, playing table tennis, senior disco and so on. Normally often participate in physical labor. To control weight gain.
Fifth, limit coffee
Caffeine increases cholesterol in the body. Therefore, attention should be paid to drink as little coffee as possible, and prohibit drugs containing caffeine.
Sixth, correct cooking.
In cooking animal food, absolutely avoid frying. The more appropriate methods are steaming and baking, so that the oil in the food can drip out.
VII. Elderly people with high cholesterol who are above 70 years of age do not find much significance in dietary treatment as nutrition is more important for them.
Health care soups
For most patients with high blood lipids but no complications, the following health care soups can also be consumed consistently to lower blood lipids and prevent the development of the disease.
1, kelp fungus meat soup: take kelp, black fungus 15g, lean pork 60g, monosodium glutamate, salt, starch. Pork cut into shreds or thin slices, mixed with starch, and has been shredded kelp, fungus into the pot, after boiling with monosodium glutamate and starch, stir well.
2, lily asparagus soup: take lily 50g, asparagus 250g, yellow wine, monosodium glutamate, refined salt, water. First will be good to wash the lily, pot of water plus lily burn a few minutes, then add wine, salt, monosodium glutamate seasoning, pour into the bowl with asparagus, that is.
3, hawthorn carp soup: take about 500g of carp a, hawthorn slice 25g, 150g of flour, yellow wine, scallion, ginger, salt, sugar, 1 egg.

How easy to eliminate blood thickening
For people with increased blood viscosity, doctors emphasize that the diet should be light, abstain from smoking and alcohol, and participate in sports properly is the most curative therapy. Some people advocate a simple and effective way is to drink a cup of salt water or cool water in the morning, afternoon and evening, especially in the summer when the incidence of thickening of the blood is high, drinking water can be received to prevent the effect. Some people advise the elderly to develop the habit of drinking water even if they are not thirsty. There are also studies that tea has an anticoagulant effect; black fungus has a hemolytic effect, long-term drinking and eating can prevent thrombosis. In addition, corn, soybeans, black beans, garlic, ginger, onions, hawthorn, milk, etc. have different degrees of blood fat, inhibit cholesterol synthesis, reduce blood viscosity. Clinical observations have shown that drugs such as vitamin C, vitamin E, aspirin, Pansentin, and compound salvia have the effect of improving blood vessel function, increasing blood flow, inhibiting blood clotting and dissolving blood clots.
In the clinic, there are some elderly people who do not have organic diseases, but always feel headache, a little labor chest tightness, panic, shortness of breath, day-long depression, always want to sleep, and sometimes there is blurred vision, the phenomenon of unsteady standing. This kind of person is often checked out the blood viscosity is high, referred to as "blood thick".
Excessive smoking and drinking can lead to blood thickening, so the elderly who prefer to smoke and drink, after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night, you should drink a large glass of boiled water, which can reduce the blood consistency. Usually can also drink more tea (especially green tea).
Irregular life, prolonged mental tension or psychological stress, also easy to lead to "blood thick", so usually should develop a good life rules, and keep a happy mood. In addition, walking, brisk walking, jogging, tai chi and other "gentle movement", also help to accelerate the body lipid metabolism, reduce blood pressure.
The blood thick patients usually meals should be light, eat more coarse grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits, such as soybeans, black beans, corn, oats, buckwheat, milk, ginger, garlic, onions, black fungus, mushrooms, hawthorn, lemons, tomatoes, red grapes, parsley, spirulina, carrots, apples, and kiwi fruit and so on.
These foods have the effect of lowering blood lipids, inhibiting platelet aggregation and preventing thrombosis. Animal fat (especially offal) and sweets can aggravate the "blood thick", so should eat less.
