With the gradual rejuvenation of various diseases, many diseases that exist widely in the middle-aged and elderly groups have begun to break into the world of young people, and everyone pays more attention to the prevention of various diseases. However, there are still many people who do not have a deep understanding of some common diseases, and even have misunderstandings, such as hyperlipidemia, and many people think that this is "fat man's disease", in fact, this idea is not accurate enough. To be precise, thin people may also get high blood lipids.
So what exactly is the cause of high blood lipids? What are the dangers of high blood lipids? How can it be prevented and treated? We need to know the following in order to better prevent and treat hyperlipidemia.
1. Unreasonable diet
Many people prefer to eat fast food such as cream, fries, and instant noodles, but in fact, these foods are the best foods for patients with high blood lipids not to eat. There are also many foods with high cholesterol that are loved by people, such as duck eggs, dried shrimp, pig's trotters, cuttlefish... A lot of food is indeed tempting, but we all need to understand a truth, although the wine is good, but can not be greedy, these foods will bring too many calories and cholesterol to the body, when you can not consume, they become a burden.
2. Lack of exercise
This is also a reason for inducing high blood lipids that is easily overlooked. People who do not like to exercise will have significantly high blood lipids. Because when engaged in manual labor or exercise, the energy consumption is more, the lipid can be consumed to a certain extent, which can promote the metabolism of lipids, thereby reducing blood lipids.
3. Other diseases or drug effects
Many diseases can directly or indirectly lead to hyperlipidemia, such as hypothyroidism, cholelithiasis, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, etc. may cause hyperlipidemia and lipid metabolism disorders. At the same time, long-term use of certain drugs can also cause high blood lipids, such as diuretics, oral estrogen contraceptives, hypoglycemic drugs, etc. Long-term use will cause lipid metabolism disorders, but also lead to high blood lipids.
4. Decreased physical function due to age
Typically, blood lipid levels increase with age. This may be related to hypogonadism.
5. Influence of genetic factors
It is due to genetic defects.
It can lead to coronary heart disease, cerebral embolism, high blood pressure, and can also threaten the lives of diabetics and even cause myocardial infarction. And high blood lipids can harm coronary arteries and form atherosclerosis.
On November 10, the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, november 10, a study published in the journal Lancet by a team of professor Borge Gronne Nordestgaard of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that elevated LDL-C levels in people aged 70-100 years also increased the risk of myocardial infarction and ASCVD.
The results of the analysis showed that a decrease in LDL-C levels significantly reduced major cardiovascular events in older patients. For every 1.0 mmol/L reduction in LDL-C in older and younger people over 75 years of age and younger, the main cardiovascular risk was reduced by 26% and 15%, respectively, and there was no statistical difference. At the same time, there was no significant difference in the protective effect of statins and non-statins such as ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors. Among them, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke and coronary reconstruction were reduced by 15%, 20%, 27% and 20%, respectively.
Therefore, it can be seen that high blood lipids can lead to serious consequences, reduce blood lipids, maintain normal cholesterol concentrations, is very urgent, young people should also pay attention.
1. Reasonable combination of diet
Eat as little as possible from pickled foods, reduce your intake of fat, fine starches, and sugars, and increase fiber in moderation, thereby reducing excess cholesterol in your blood to more than 35 percent. Fats in foods are usually found in cooking oil, meat, and milk.
Use less animal oil, palm oil, etc., use more vegetable oil, and control the amount, it is best not to exceed 10g per meal. Meat should reduce fat and animal offal, and shellfish and fish can be more selected to supplement protein. It is best to choose low-fat or skim milk for milk.
2. Adhere to sports
Patients with chronic diseases are best to choose exercises such as walking. This is a sport that is not strenuous but if the method and distance are up to standard, it regulates blood lipid levels. Jogging and swimming are also very good exercises, both of which can achieve the effect of exercising the body, burning calories, and promoting metabolism.
3. Medication
Timely medical treatment, compliance with medical advice, and long-term medication are also important ways to treat lipids.
The above 3 ways to prevent high blood lipids, I hope that everyone should usually pay special attention to it, have a healthy body, stronger than anything!
