Hyperlipidemia is often referred to clinically as hyperlipidemia, also known as dyslipidemia, which usually refers to the elevation of triglycerides and total cholesterol in plasma in the body, including elevated LDL cholesterol and decreased HDL cholesterol.
Hyperlipidemia can be seen in people of different ages and genders, with the increasing age of each person, the incidence of the disease will gradually increase, the peak of the disease is about 50 to 69 years old, before the age of 50, males are higher than women, after 50 years of age, women are higher than men, some familial hyperlipidemia can also be seen in infants and young children.
01
Once these signs appear, there is a good chance that blood lipids are high!
1. Often sleepy, yawning, but abnormal spirits appear at night.
2. Yellow warts appear on the face, and the upper and lower eyelids are oval or flat yellow bulges.
3. The signs of gradual loss of vision or blindness come, and the blood lipids rise, causing retinal thrombosis.
4. The legs are more prone to cramps at night, and abnormal blood lipid metabolism causes muscle contractions, resulting in cramps.
5. Hearing gradually decreases, lipid deposition in the inner ear, increased lipid peroxide, and damage to inner ear cells.
6. Intermittent frequent abdominal pain, especially after dinner, be careful that high blood lipids cause acute pancreatitis.

What are the dangers of high blood lipids?
Many people know that the advent of high blood lipids is very detrimental to their own health, but most people do not know where the harm is.
Everyone's blood contains a lot of fat, but the amount of blood lipids must not be too high, excessive blood lipids will increase the viscosity of the blood, and then will lead to a series of chronic diseases with the intensification of time.
A blood vessel is like a tube, a channel for blood to circulate, but if the viscosity in the blood rises, part of the blood will attach to the wall of the blood vessel, forming a large number of plaques, and in some places the blood vessel is blocked.
After the blood vessels are blocked, the blood will not be able to operate normally, and the organs in the body must have the support of blood if they want to maintain normal function, the blockage is more serious, the blood supply of the organs is insufficient, and finally the cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction and the advent of arteriosclerosis.
In addition, it may cause lower limb stiffness or ulceration, there are also many people because of high blood lipids and thus blindness, in short, the harm caused by high blood lipids is not low at all, which is why everyone attaches great importance to the prevention of high blood lipids.

Natural "lipid-lowering king", not hawthorn water, drink a little every day, blood lipids or "slowly descending"
- Cassia tea
Cassia tea has the effect of reducing blood lipids, the specific use is to prepare 15 to 20 grams of cassia seeds, and then put into boiling water for boiling, pour into cassia seeds, drink instead of tea.
There are many Chinese medicine that cassia seeds are slightly cold, sweet and bitter, and have the effect of clearing the liver and eyes/dispelling wind and relieving pain and reducing blood lipids, so patients with hyperlipidemia in daily life, if they can insist on drinking water with cassia seeds, can play a role in lowering blood lipids.
- Chrysanthemum tea
In daily life, there are many people of a certain age who like to achieve the purpose of clearing the liver through chrysanthemum tea, which can also play a role in the detoxification of cigarettes, and the effect of chrysanthemum tea on lipid reduction is also more obvious.
Patients with high blood lipids or cholesterol in the body can be relieved by drinking chrysanthemum tea on a daily basis, which can effectively prevent the manifestations and complications of elevated blood lipids and cholesterol.
- Kuding tea
Kuding tea has a significant cholesterol-lowering effect, but also can inhibit the concentration of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein in the body, and can better prevent the emergence of hyperlipidemia and hypertension in medical clinics.
Kuding tea contains amino acids and trace elements required by various organs in the human body, and can increase the role of myocardial blood supply, etc., for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases dizziness, headache, chest tightness, fatigue, insomnia and other symptoms, there is a better auxiliary prevention and treatment effect.
Kuding tea is rich in a large amount of tannin and ursus acid, which have great assistance and adjuvant therapeutic effects on the regulation system of blood pressure, blood lipids and cholesterol.

Have you ever known the normal value of blood lipids?
Total cholesterol: the normal range is 5.23 to 5.69 mmol/L, if it exceeds 5.72 mmol/L, it can be regarded as increased blood lipids, and the level of total cholesterol mainly depends on diet, physical labor, environmental sex and age.
Women's postmenopausal increase significantly, the concentration in the neonatal period is very low, the newborn will approach the adult level after entering the lactation period, and with the increasing age, the total cholesterol concentration has a tendency to increase.
- Triglycerides: the normal range varies greatly, around 0.56 to 1.7 mmol/L, and if it exceeds 1.7 mmol/L, it is elevated triglycerides, which is one of the risk factors for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
HDL cholesterol: The normal range is greater than 1.0mmol/L, and there are many influencing factors, such as an individual's age, gender, ethnicity, diet, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, sports drugs, etc.
-- LDL cholesterol: the normal range is less than 3.12 mmol/L, the treatment goal of hyperlipidemia patients is below 2.6 mmol/L, and the increase is manifested in familial hypercholesterolemia and type 2a hyperlipoproteinemia.

Will lipid-lowering drugs hurt the liver?
Although most people pay more attention to their own prevention of hyperlipidemia, some people do not pay attention to diet, so they eat randomly, eat, and finally cause the cholesterol concentration in the body to gradually rise, which in turn induces the advent of high blood lipids.
If there is already a situation of high blood lipids, then we need to suppress the rise of blood lipids through special lipid-lowering drugs, but there are also many people who have concerns about lipid-lowering drugs, and I heard that lipid-lowering drugs will hurt the liver after eating, is it true?
Statins are the most common lipid-lowering drugs, but many people are worried about whether the harm to the liver after eating too much of this drug is very large.
However, you don't have to worry about the damage of statins to the liver is actually not large, some people will not rise very high in transaminases, so it will not damage the liver. When taken early, it will cause the transaminases in the body to gradually rise, but the amino enzymes will not rise too high, so it will not damage the liver.
