(1) The diet of patients with hyperlipidemia should be reasonable, the amount of food should be controlled, the weight should be effectively controlled within the normal range, to prevent obesity. Generally, it is better to use diet control and appropriate exercise to reduce body weight and blood lipids, and starvation therapy is not easily used to reduce blood lipids and body weight.

(2) The diet of patients with hyperlipidemia should be light, can be vegetarian-based, with a moderate amount of meat. Cereals, dried fruits, beans and their soy products, can be eaten; meat, fish and other aquatic products and part of the animal lean meat, not only to supplement the body's protein and other nutrients, but also will not lead to elevated blood lipids. But hyperlipidemia people should not eat vegetarian food for a long time to prevent the lack of protein and other nutrients.

(3) Hyperlipidemia patients should use vegetarian oil, such as soybean oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, etc.; avoid using meat oil, such as lard, chicken oil, duck oil, etc.; also avoid using oil-rich components of butter, cream, cheese and other additive foods. Hyperlipidemia patients should use sugar with high ash content, such as brown sugar, corn sugar, honey, etc.; avoid using refined sugar, such as white sugar, sugar, rock sugar, etc..

(4) hyperlipidemia patients avoid overeating and fat and sweet thick, high cholesterol, high fat food such as fat meat (pork, mutton, dog meat, etc.), pig and other animal offal (such as the brain, intestines, kidneys, heart, etc.) should be strictly limited to take, so as not to impede the adjustment of blood lipids. Hyperlipidemia patients should quit smoking and alcohol abuse, in order to facilitate the recovery of increased blood lipids.

(5) Limit the amount of sugar into the amount, so that it is controlled to account for 55% to 60% of the total caloric energy range. Patients should avoid eating granulated sugar, small fructose, caramel, honey, as well as pastries and canned food containing more sugar, and pay attention to roasted vegetables, drinking milk and soybean milk, it is also best not to put sugar.

(6) Appropriate protein intake, especially beans and bean products, lean meat, skinless poultry, fish, etc., can be more appropriate to eat some.

(7) Patients with hyperlipidemia should often supplement dietary fiber intake in their diet. Epidemiological investigations found that Europe and the United States and other countries, with the reduction of plant food consumption and a variety of food is too fine to make the intake of dietary fiber is significantly reduced, and its hyperlipidemia, obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases of the rich and the incidence of the disease continues to increase. Medical research has observed that the dietary fiber intake of vegetarians is greater than 22 grams of animal food-based meat eaters whose dietary fiber intake is less than 10 grams of the two groups of residents of blood lipids for comparison, the results of the vegetarians of serum cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) are significantly lower than meat eaters. According to relevant data reports, daily intake of 1 to 4 grams of lignans, hypercholesterolemia has a good effect on blood cholesterol, and its effect is comparable to the recognized cholesterol-lowering drugs "cholesterol amide". Clinical studies suggest that adding orange pectin to the diet of patients with hyperlipidemia for 3 weeks can reduce blood cholesterol by 13% and increase fecal lipid excretion by 44%. Whether dietary fiber in the lignin, pectin, or one of the cellulose, hemicellulose, gum, algae polysaccharides, etc., also has a very good cholesterol-lowering effect.

(8) when through dietary modification and pay attention to dietary modification principles can not achieve the purpose of lowering cholesterol, can be used in traditional Chinese medicine to identify the evidence of Shi Qiazhi treatment, the general effect is better, Chinese medicine, especially for familial hypercholesterolemia effect is better.
