Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disorder disease, hyperlipidemia, the harm to the body is insidious, progressive, systemic, it is not only an independent risk factor for a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also pancreatitis, diabetes, hyperuricemia, obesity, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases of the trigger factor.
The discussion of "ointment" and "lipid" in the ancient texts of Chinese medicine is similar to the concept of blood lipids in modern medicine. The Lingshu Wulingjin Liquid Bie (灵枢· Wulingjin Liquid Bie) says: "The five grains of the jin liquid and the combination of the ointment are infiltration and bone emptiness, replenishing the brain marrow, and the inferior flow is in the vagina." Zhang Jingyueyun: "Ointment, grease ointment also." The jin liquid and the combination are ointment to fill in the bone void, then the brain is the marrow, and the sperm is the blood. "It is clearly pointed out that the cream is derived from the subtlety of the water valley, which is one of the basic substances of the human body, and the components of the cream are present in the liquid and blood, which have the effect of moisturizing, nourishing and replenishing the human body.
Too much is real, too little is virtual, although the cream is a nutrient for the human body, but too much is harmful and form hyperlipidemia, therefore, where the human body consumes too much ointment or ointment fat transfusion, utilization, excretion of abnormal factors can make blood lipids rise.
(1) Diet is not moderate
Eating fat and sweet taste, spleen and stomach transport is not enough, cream fat remains in the blood, or long-term addiction to tobacco and alcohol, damage to the spleen and stomach, health loss, resulting in diet is not normalized, becomes fat turbid, causing increased blood lipids.
As the "Su Qing" said, "Fat and noble, then the disease of the anointing sorghum is also." Qing Cheng Guopeng pointed out in the "Medical Mind": "Mortals are fond of eating fat and sweet, or alcoholic cheese, and the internal wetness is received from the inside... Wet phlegm, phlegm heat, hot wind, so fainting ignorance also. ”
Therefore, the diet for hyperlipidemia needs to do the following:
1, diet is moderate
Emphasize that the diet should be regular and moderate, and oppose hunger and overeating. Eat more vegetables and fruits, skim milk, soybeans, eat fish, poultry, eggs, lean meat in moderation, eat less oil and salt, control sugar, limit alcohol and quit smoking.
2. Eat a light diet
Qing Liu Guansu pointed out that "medicine and food should be lightened", and this method is applicable to various metabolic diseases. Patients with hyperlipidemia should eat less fat, greasy, spicy and stimulating products, and appropriately take more foods that can reduce lipids, remove dampness, activate blood, and reduce stasis, such as black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, lettuce, yam, coix kernel, hawthorn, etc.
3. Sincere and five flavors
Different foods have different tastes, and the affinity for the five organs is also different, and long-term preference for a certain food will cause dirty qi to win, resulting in the occurrence of diseases, so pay attention to a balanced diet, meat and vegetarian collocation. Daily diet should include cereals and potatoes, vegetables and fruits, livestock, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, soy nuts and other foods.
(2) Sitting for a long time
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics say: "Lying down for a long time hurts the qi, and sitting for a long time hurts the flesh." Sedentary for a long time, comfortable and less moving, stagnation of the qi machine of the body, slow down the metabolism and transportation of the internal organs, insufficient transformation and utilization of cream, less use of life, deposition in the body, immersion in the blood, so blood lipids are elevated.
"Lü's Spring and Autumn" said: "The flowing water is not corrupt, the household hub is not beetle, and the movement is also moving." The same is true of the form of qi, if the shape is not moving, it is not flowing, and if it is not flowing, it is depressed. "The ancients used the metaphor of flowing water and shaft door as a metaphor to clearly point out the significance of sports health, moving is healthy, and moving is physical decline.
Modern research has shown that exercise not only enhances cardiopulmonary function, but also reduces weight loss, lowers plasma triglycerides and LDL levels, and raises HDL levels [3].
Patients with hyperlipidemia should follow the principle of "moving is not fading", attach importance to physical exercise, persevere, do what they can, and take it step by step.
In the choice of sports types, Tai Chi, Five Birds Play, Baduanjin and other moderate intensity, more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people; young adults can choose such as hiking, cycling, swimming, mountain climbing and various ball activities.
Loss of internal organs
The Lingshu Tiannian says: "At the age of fifty, the liver qi begins to decline, ... A hundred years old, all the internal organs are empty, the spirit is gone, and the skeleton lives alone and dies. "After the human body is strong in middle age, it gradually moves towards the aging period of old age, the function of the internal organs is reduced, or the kidney deficiency water fluid is lost in gasification, or the spleen deficiency water valley is not normalized, or the liver deficiency fluid is not well transfused, which can make the metabolism of ointment fat abnormal, causing blood lipid metabolism disorders."
The purpose of elderly health care is to cure the disease, or to maintain the true yuan of the disease, although the age is an irreversible factor, but through a reasonable health can delay aging, prolong life. For the elderly, the following points need to be done:
1, conform to nature, overall coordination
The "Treatise on the Spirit Shu and the Year of Lu" says: "Man and heaven and earth are also related to each other, and corresponding to the sun and the moon." It points out that man and nature are an organic whole, that is, the overall concept of "the unity of heaven and man", and admonishes us to adjust the spiritual feelings and life of the human body in accordance with natural changes.
2. Adjust and supplement the internal organs, solidify the essence and protect the life
Lingshu Tiannian Yun: "The five viscera are strong, the blood veins are harmonious, ... As usual, it can last." In the Ming Dynasty's Wan Mi Zhai "Four Essentials of Health Maintenance", the importance of kidney essence in the essence of the internal organs is emphasized, and it is advocated that the widow wants to preserve the essence in its full form and control the intercourse to avoid damaging the shape of the internal organs.
The human body is an organic whole centered on the five internal organs, the human body gradually moves from prosperity to decline, the essence of the internal organs is becoming increasingly weak and functional, when the "supplement" is the key, pay attention to the role of medicine and food tonic.
3. Co-cultivation of form and god, combination of dynamic and static
Man is the unity of form and god, and Yun of suqin paralysis says: "Those who are yin and yin, quiet are hidden by the gods, and those who are restless will perish." It is pointed out that mental restlessness is the cause of the depletion of the essence of the human body, and advocates that the form should be moved and the spirit should be quiet, so only the "spiritual guard" can make the human body full of healthy qi and prevent external evil from invading.
For the body, due to the gradual decay of human organs and qi and blood functions after middle age, vigorous activities should be avoided and the body's qi and blood should be consumed.
For health care, the middle-aged and elderly should pay more attention to the regulation of psychological desires, and avoid great joy, great fear, great worry, great anger, and great decline.
Emotional disorder
The "Confucian Affair" says: "If the husband is angry and cannot stretch, then the liver qi multiplies the spleen, and the temper does not change, so it is left to drink." Anger hurts the liver, liver loss, thinking about injuring the spleen, spleen loss of good luck, can cause poor qi machine, ointment transport and cloth abnormalities, so that blood lipids increase.
Modern research has also pointed out that long-term mental stress and anxiety can promote the increase of serum cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels, the decrease of HDL cholesterol, and the impact of blood lipid metabolism [4].
In view of flirting, the "Suqin Ancient Naïve Theory" points out three methods: "no heart of anger", "no thought of the disease", "to take pleasure as a job", that is, to eliminate the stimulation of bad emotions such as anger and resentment, let go of the burden of thought, reduce the burden of thought, and maintain a contented, optimistic and pleasant mood.
Hyperlipidemia has five manifestations
Symptoms of hyperlipidemia can cause dizziness or easy asleep between conversations with people. After waking up in the morning, I feel that my mind is not clear, I can improve after breakfast, and I am very sleepy in the afternoon, but I am very awake at night.
Yellow eyelids. In particular, the signal of increased blood lipids in middle-aged and elderly women is mainly manifested in the appearance of a small yellowish rash on the eyelids, which is the size of a grain of rice at the beginning, slightly higher than the skin, and is covered with eyelids in severe cases.
The legs often cramp and often tingle, which is caused by the accumulation of cholesterol in the leg muscles, is a common manifestation of symptoms of hyperlipidemia.
More dark spots appear on the face and hands in a short period of time (the plaques are slightly larger and darker than the age spots). Significantly reduced memory and responsiveness are also symptoms of hyperlipidemia that can easily be overlooked.
Blurring of things is caused by blood thickening, slowing down flow, and temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve or retina. Many elderly people think that it is caused by presbyopia, and often do not think that this is a symptom of high blood lipids.
