With the acceleration of the pace of modern life and the increase of work pressure, many people stay up late, smoke, drink, lack of exercise, etc., these bad living habits have gradually become the norm for some people, and these are just the risk factors for inducing high blood lipids.
The most direct embodiment of the improvement of living standards is the change in diet structure, and the long-term high-fat, high-cholesterol diet has made the incidence of high blood lipids rise sharply. In addition, some young people also like to eat takeaway, fried, barbecue, dessert and other high-fat, high-sugar, high-calorie foods, which in turn leads to hyperlipidemia in young people are becoming more and more common.
So what's high in blood lipids?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called high blood lipids are caused by sputum wet stasis and blood stagnation in the middle focus, and the gas machine is not smooth, so it is easy to fatigue, dizziness and other diseases.
Its essence also lies in positive deficiency, especially spleen deficiency, water does not melt, wet turbidity accumulates, and it is blocked in the vasculature and is hyperlipidemia.
Therefore, its treatment should be slow to cure the root cause, or sputum, or stasis, or wet, or turbidity.
From the perspective of Western medicine, hyperlipidemia is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Primary hyperlipidemia. That is, hyperlipidemia occurs without any other disease, usually due to genetic factors.
2. Secondary hyperlipidemia. That is, hyperlipidemia caused by various reasons, such as: diabetes, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, kidney transplantation, biliary obstruction, etc.
3. Hyperlipidemia caused by poor eating habits. Such as binge eating, alcoholism, partial eating, irregular diet, etc.
4. Hyperlipidemia caused by long-term use of a certain drug. Such as contraceptives, hormone drugs, etc.
5. Hyperlipidemia caused by mental factors. That is, due to long-term mental stress, endocrine metabolic disorders, such as hyperlipidemia formed over time.
So how to treat high blood lipids?
The first thing that many people think of is to eat less meat and less oil!
Simply think that high blood lipids are high in the blood fat content, as long as the intake of fat is reduced, daily vegetarian food can quickly regulate the blood lipid problem.
But at the end of eating, many people also found that if you insist on eating vegetarian, people do not necessarily become thin, and blood lipids are still very high.
So how to eat it?
