With the advent of autumn and winter, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the three high people should pay attention to at this time, especially those with high blood lipids, hyperlipidemia is the primary culprit that causes a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, although lipid modulation drugs have become one of the important "killer tools" to reduce the incidence and mortality of such diseases, but there are many misunderstandings in daily life. Let's take a look today!
"Is it impossible to eat oil and meat with high blood lipids?" ...... This is a common question in many people with high blood lipids in the clinic. In general, hyperlipidemia by itself does not cause significant symptoms. However, if there are too many lipids in the blood, it will gradually remain on the arterial vascular wall, thickening and hardening the arterial vascular wall, forming atherosclerosis, thereby inducing a series of diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, aorta and peripheral atherosclerosis. Therefore, the detection of hyperlipidemia requires active treatment and control, and try to avoid causing new diseases caused by hyperlipidemia.
Blood thickness and dyslipidemia are two different diseases and are not directly related. Blood thickness is related to many components of the blood, which may be caused by too many red blood cells and excessive blood concentration, while dyslipidemia is caused by high blood cholesterol, triglycerides or "good" cholesterol.
In recent decades, with the deepening of research on dyslipidemia, it used to be called "hyperlipidemia", and now it should be called "dyslipidemia". Because there are many components of blood lipids: there are mainly cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins, very low-density lipoproteins and so on.
Among them, hdL LIPOProtein is anti-arteriosclerosis, which is beneficial for elevation and harmful for decrease, while a variety of other lipids are arteriosclerosis- and as a risk factor, it is beneficial to reduce to a good state. Therefore, the modern treatment of dyslipidemia is not called "lipid-lowering therapy", but called "lipid adjustment therapy", and the meaning of "adjustment" is that the high ground descends and the low ground rises.
Treatment of dyslipidemia is not only long-term, but some even require lifelong treatment. If the patient does not have enough understanding of this, it often causes the treatment to be intermittent and the medication to be stopped. Many people once the test is "normal", they think that they have "cured the disease", that is, stop the drug, do not do regular blood lipid monitoring, afraid of drawing blood, etc.
The Chinese Medical Association's "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chinese Dyslipidemia" stipulates that the blood lipid level should be rechecked after 3 to 6 months of dietary treatment and exercise therapy, and if the treatment can be met, the treatment can be continued, but it still needs 6 months to recheck, and if it continues to meet the standard, it will be reviewed once a year. Medication should also be reviewed regularly for blood lipids, and it is recommended not to stop the drug without authorization.
Long-term only vegetarian food, may lead to insufficient intake of oil and fat nutrients, the body has metabolic chaos, so eating only vegetarian every day and lowering blood lipids is not directly related.
Drinking vinegar is only absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and has little effect on blood lipids in the blood vessels. If you drink vinegar in large quantities, due to the irritating nature of acetic acid, it may damage the gastric mucosa.
In order to control blood lipids, people with high blood lipids should first reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, such as eating less offal, fatty meat, fried foods, cream products, etc.; increase the intake of dietary fiber, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, etc.
On the basis of good diet management, the importance of exercise cannot be ignored. Regular and moderate exercise can improve the speed of metabolism, so that the activity of protease is improved, and the purpose of lipid reduction is achieved.
Smoking cessation and avoidance of inhalation of second-hand smoke play an important role in alleviating the development of atherosclerosis and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At the same time, alcohol intake should also be restricted.
The reason why many patients stop the drug without authorization and choose diet therapy is that most of them are worried about the side effects of the drug. Experts explain that as long as the regular lipid-lowering drugs strictly follow the doctor's instructions, most of them are relatively safe, generally do not have obvious adverse effects on liver and kidney function, and patients with mild fatty liver can also be safely applied. Long-term users should regularly check liver and kidney function, especially liver function indicators, phosphate creatinine kinase, etc., in order to prevent liver damage, if necessary, add hepatoprotective drugs.
The latest medical research shows that the "hypolipidemic" effect of fish oil is not exact. Although fish oil has a certain lipid-lowering effect, it is not better than high-quality sesame oil in terms of lipid-lowering quality and prevention and control of vascular obstruction.
The reason is: blood lipids in the blood have "good" and "bad" points, LDL is harmful to the human body, and HDL is beneficial to the human body, fish oil can not reduce LDL, or even increase LDL; while vegetable oil can effectively reduce LDL, sometimes can increase HDL, so sesame oil has the effect of lowering blood lipids and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In summary, the control of blood lipids is a long-term process, after taking the course of treatment, blood lipids will return to the normal range, but once the drug is stopped, many times it will be repeated. Therefore, even if the blood lipids are up to standard, do not stop the drug without authorization.
