"What do you say, Lao Zheng, is it useful to dance square dance?" Uncle Zhao Feifa looked at Dr. Zheng Fu, who was sitting opposite.
Uncle Zhao Feifa is 63 years old and always excitedly discusses various health topics, especially those about diet. Unfortunately, he was recently resuscitated due to his high blood lipids.
The doctor had repeatedly reminded him to pay more attention to his diet, but unfortunately Uncle Zhao Feifa never really realized the seriousness of the problem.
After the condition stabilized, Dr. Zheng Fu said: "Oh, Uncle Zhao Feifa, I said you, you can dance, but your eating habits are the big problem." You know, people of our age can't eat as willfully as they used to? ”
Dr. Zheng talked about the importance of a "low-salt, low-fat" diet. Patients with hyperlipidemia often have a high intake of fats and salts in their diet, which makes their condition worse.
Dr. Zheng pointed out that the common misconception is that many people think that as long as they eat less meat, they are fine, but in fact, many seemingly non-greasy foods, such as certain fish and seafood, also have extremely high hidden fat content.
Dr. Cheng explains the key to whole grains and high-fiber foods. He says whole grains and high-fiber foods can help slow the empty stomach while helping lower blood lipids. For example, oats.
He mentioned that the choice of fruit should also be scientific. Although fruits are good for health, fruits that are high in sugar are not kind to people with high blood lipids. Patients with hyperlipidemia who eat apples in moderation can better control their blood lipid levels within a safe range.
Dr. Zheng Fu said: "Actually, Uncle Zhao Feifa, what you should be thinking about now is how to help treat your illness through food, rather than just relying on medicine. ”
Uncle Zhao Feifa just raised a question: "Then if I insist on dancing for half an hour every day, will I not have to be so strict with my diet?"
Dr. Zheng replied: "Dance is certainly a good form of exercise that helps improve cardiopulmonary function and body coordination, but for you, dietary control is still the basis for treating hyperlipidemia. ”
"No exercise can completely replace proper dietary management, so you still need to follow your doctor's advice, combining moderate physical activity with a scientific diet. ”
Dr. Zheng continued, "I don't see that you are usually very interested in these topics, but I have to talk about them today. I'll also have to tell you something new that you would never have thought about – the importance of vitamin D. ”
"Spending more time in the sun and supplementing enough vitamin D is also good for regulating blood lipids. You may think that vitamin D is only associated with bone health, but vitamin D deficiency is strongly associated with a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including high blood pressure and high blood lipids. ”
Uncle Zhao Feifa asked: "Then if I bask in the sun for a while every day, can I eat a little more casually?" Dr. Zheng Fu said: "It's good to bask in the sun, but you have to remember that no one method can work alone." ”
"Healthy eating and exercising, as well as sun exposure, all of these things have to come together. For example, the fried chicken and barbecue you love to eat, even if you bask in the sun and become charcoal, it is better to eat less of these things. ”
He goes on to explain, "But sun exposure and proper outdoor activity isn't just about providing vitamin D, it can also promote a better mood and reduce stress. ”
"When you are in a good mood, you will have more positive reactions to your body, such as better appetite control and improved sleep quality, which have direct or indirect benefits for controlling blood lipids. ”
Uncle Zhao Feifa suddenly remembered something: "Then what should I pay attention to when I bask in the sun? For example, when is the best time of the day to bask in the sun?"
Dr. Zheng advises: "Generally speaking, the sun's UVB radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., which is the best time for vitamin D synthesis. But it doesn't mean that it has to be in this time period, the key is to have a moderate amount. ”
"It's enough to bask in the sun for about 20 minutes around noon every day, but don't forget to protect yourself from the sun, especially at our age, where skin is prone to injury. ”
