In the upcoming Spring Festival, people are also prone to overeating, which is easy to make the health of hyperlipidemia patients "worse". In fact, a diet with high blood lipids should not be rigid, and different patients need to master the basic dietary principles to be beneficial to their health.
Hypercholesterolemia
Characteristics: Only the blood cholesterol level is elevated, while the triglyceride level is normal.
Dietary Essentials: Limit food cholesterol to less than 200 mg per day.
1. Avoid eating or eating less: foods containing high cholesterol, such as animal brains, spinal cords, internal organs, shellfish (such as mussels, snails, etc.) and molluscs (such as squid, cuttlefish, caviar, etc.), do not use animal oil for cooking.
2. Eat in moderation: Foods that are not too high in cholesterol, such as lean pork, beef, duck, chicken, fish and milk. Vegetable oil (soybean oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, etc.) can be eaten.
3. Eat more: soybeans and their products, onions, garlic, grass, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, etc.
Hypertriglyceridemia
Characteristics: Only the blood triglyceride content is elevated, but the cholesterol level is normal.
Dietary essentials: Limit the amount of food you eat, reduce your body weight, and reach and maintain a weight that is within the standard range.
The standard weight can be calculated using the formula: male = height (cm) - 105 (kg), female = height (cm) - 107.5 (kg).
1. Avoid eating or eating less: white sugar, brown sugar, fruit sugar, honey and sugary foods, alcohol should also be avoided, which will lead to an increase in triglyceride content.
2. Eat in moderation: soy protein and other protein foods, cholesterol is less than 300 mg per day, patients are allowed to eat 3 eggs per week, and other cholesterol-containing foods can also be eaten appropriately.
Mixed hyperlipidemia
Characteristics: Elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Dietary points: Combine the above two types, appropriately limit cholesterol and animal fat, control the amount of food to reduce body weight, avoid sweets, quit alcohol, appropriately increase vegetable oil, beans and their products, and eat more vegetables, melons and fruits and other foods.
